Release Notes 2007-06-21

Usability++

• We've gotten the new room editing to the point where we now know that we want the new new room editing; but this time it's going to be awesome, we promise
• More progress on the game development SDK; we're making it easier for Flash Authoring Tool users to create games without ever having to touch a smelly command line
• Cleaned up the catalog and inventory pages a bit; more work coming on the inventory
• Added profile searching and the ability to specify your real name (which we never show to anyone) so that your friends can find you when they show up in Whirled
• Added the ability to start a private chat with another player by clicking on their avatar and selecting "Start private chat..."
• Fancied up the "Friends" display on the Profile; more improvements to come on that front, it's a bit wonky still
• Stuffed the wiki and forums into an iframe so that you don't have to leave the Whirled when you use them
• Fixed a problem with classifying the size of thumbnail images; if you have an image in your inventory that is too big and not scaling properly, reupload the thumbnail image and it should fix itself
• Doors now highlight green rather than red; we think that's a better color
• Various other behind the scenes improvements, bug fixes, and progress on cool new stuff that we'll release as soon as it's ready
