Dear Illarionites,

just now we published an update for the client and the server of Illarion.

In the client we resolved some small but annoying problems. Most noticable should be the change of the selection and trading dialogs. They got altered in size and their layout was fixed. By doing so the problem that caused the last entry of those dialogs to be partly hidden was resolved.

Furthermore there are two changes at the shortcut layout. The key Q now opens the quest log as well as J and the key B opens the bag that is carried by the character.

Also the double click detection was improved. The client now responds to double clicks a lot faster than before.

There were also some improvements of the GUI element for inventory/container slots. They should respond way faster now.

A minor visual problem that is present since the VBU was also resolved. Some items got altered in size while they were not meant to do so. Statues had this effect partly. The problem causing this is now resolved.

In addition to that a major error in the communication interface of the client got resolved. I can't tell what effects this error had. It could be responsible for all kinds of strange behaviour and connection problems, but it's also possible that by chance it had no effect at all. In any case, it's gone now.

Good news for the friends of data security. The passwords of the accounts are now encrypted before they are sent from the client to the server.

The changes on the server are mainly small bug fixes that improve the server stability. Also the support for the new bag function (key B) and the encrypted login were implemented.

Dear Illarionites,

it is now possible to get an overview of exceptional characters in certain categories. For this purpose we added high scores. You can find them in the general section of our website. More categories will follow in the future.

Have fun and enjoy playing!
