Whats new in version 1.2.2

left_boy

The version is not yet released. You can find the preview here. On the other hand it might already be released by the time you are reading this.

I am gonna quickly interduce new features:

Client warns if you try to close it while FA is running
Hide the chat user list
See description of game featured mods
Client can cache multiple versions of featured mods, so you don't need to redownload everything after you watched an old replay. Needs to be activated in the settings for now
Client shows why games are not rated:
The m&m map picks are rotated
Admins can broadcast messages via the client
Client short cut is called FAF Client
Maps added to the map folder are automatically detected during runtime and added.
Lots of bug fixes
Client adds support to broadcast rating limits via server:

You can add min/max rating and also enforce it. If enforced the game is only shown to players that match the rating boundaries. If not enforced only a warning is shown to players that do not match the boundaries.

See the video how to use it.

Read the changelog for more information.

Can we have some optimization for java-client ?
Python client did not even take any cpu cycles, java one seems to constantly eat 20-25% of cpu.
I am pretty certain it has code like "while(true) {sleep(ms); dosomestuff();}" instead of epoll_wait or something similar.
