<H2>The fastest SotC update ever!</H2>
<P>This update is so close to the last one posted a mere six hours
ago that most of you reading it never even saw the last one. Don't
worry, anything important is being retained in this update.

good news is that we should very soon have a new logo! 100% with Mega2k. I spent several hours trying to tune the flight

it functional and efficient. a copy) and when he gets it working in QWF he'll be making the patch
available to all of the QSG projects which will hopefully make this
a non-issue.

thought was so improbable is happening. That's a good thing for the for 0.2-d.. The reason? It's time to release. Or at least, it's
entire community I think. I'm glad to be wrong this time. time to declare it time to release and fix the remaining obnoxious
buglets. They're not overly complex but there are several of them
to fix.

standardized and that all of these engines are intercompatible at
the protocol level. And securely too - what's it matter if all the
rest of this happens if any person can just cheat their way to
highest scores?
<P>Right now what seems to be necessary is time. I still think
people who care should make sure they're heard so MegaTF knows that
Mega support in other engines is important to you. That goes double
if you only have one engine for your platform to choose from.

<P>If you're still here after all of that, I'm impressed. Release
of 0.1.2 hasn't happened yet, but could really anytime now. Mostly
I have just had other issues on my mind. Plus I don't want to give
too much false hope here, but I really think a release of 0.2.0
isn't all that far off. I've been focusing my efforts in that
direction.
