Just in time for the weekend, we have another 40 or so fixes, including an optimisation that should greatly improve performance in the storylet interface.
We'll release at least one more patch next week, and we're expecting to say a little about our future plans then as well. In the meantime, thank you again for your enthusiasm, patience and support!
The Sky is Yours,
