Release Notes 2007-10-15

Getting Our Game On Template:Release notes/start

• Changed the way chat bubbles work; we'll be doing more experimentation with this so bear with us if our experiments go at times awry.
• Playing games from the Game Detail page has been streamlined:
  • Click "Play!" to go right into a game (creating a new game if necessary or joining an existing party game if it's a party game)
  • Click "Multiplayer" to go into the game lobby where you can browse, create and join tables
• The table display in the lobby has been consolidated into one list for forming and running tables
• Various Friend improvements:
  • There's now a full page list of all of a player's friends
  • When you look at your own full friends list you can remove friends (yay!)
  • Soon you'll be able to select which six friends show up on your profile page; they will be your "Featured Friends"
• There's now a close box in the upper right when you're in the World and in a Game
  • Clicking close in a Game will take you back to the World
  • Clicking close in the World will close the Flash client and take you to "My Whirled"
• Chat in games has been revamped; it now always appears in a tab on the right instead of drawing over the game and strangely disappearing sometimes
• The Game Detail page now displays "Top Rankings" and "My Rankings" lists which show the top-ranked players in the whole Whirled and among you and your friends respectively
