New - Outs!
HD Poker now reveals everyone's "outs" during showdown! For anyone unsure what that is, an "out" is any unseen card that can change a player's hand to be the winning hand. These cards are displayed over nameplates and will update as each new street is revealed and/or when a folded player decides to show. For brevity, some outs can appear as a solitary rank or suit. A solitary rank means any suit with that rank will work. A solitary suit means any rank of that suit will work. In addition, we also reveal when a player has no outs ("Drawing Dead") or requires two more cards to have a better hand ("Runner Runner"). This is a toggleable feature from the topbar settings dropdown, defaulted on.
Changes / Tweaks

MTTs are now listed as being valid for decay avoidance in various places.
Player nameplates in first person view have been scaled down to ~80% of their previous size.
Tournaments quickplay flyout will now list ALL upcoming MTTs, but greyed out.
Shown hole cards as a part of showdown are now full brightness.
Shown hole cards from folded players are now smaller and greyed so as not to detract from showdown.
Showdowns will now temporarily render all non-participating players' nameplates and avatars as semi-transparnet to bring more focus to the players involved.
First person hole cards have been nudged closer to center of the table.
Leaderboards "Top 100" tab label changed to "Top Players" and will now list up to 500 players.
Fixes

Fixed a situation where "NaN% ODDS" could appear on players not a part of an all-in showdown.
Fixed the "blip" effect in SNG/TB waiting rooms when a new player joins the queue.
Fixed issue with store package popups failing to render their contents after the first spawn.
Fixed crash that could occur when using the DETACH CARDS feature.
Fixed issue where outgoing table invites were failing to show up on (and possibly crash) your target's client.
Fixed issue in contact form where keybinds were being triggered when typing a message.
Fixed issue where an MTT waiting room would declare "players found, creating table..." long before it was valid to do so.
Fixed issue where promotional external links could fail to redeem the promotion.
