After a good month of tinkering, adding features, removing features, balancing things and many, many, many (and more!) tasks being done, we're finally ready to release Beta 6.10! This will be the last beta in the series. Once it's proven to be stable, the last version will be released and spread around on the community sites. For now, the download will be available only on this site and via the Ghost++ server on B.net Europe. The changelog this time is huge to say the least - take a peek if you're interested! Enjoy..
