Updated Web Client (beta test)

Written by: Estarra the Eternal

Addressed to: Everyone


We're pleased to announce that the latest version (2.4) of our web
client is ready for public beta testing. You can access it at
http://newclient.lusternia.com

Please test it out and use the 'feedback' tab in the settings menu
(accessed via the little gears in the lower right) to file bug reports
relating to the client.

Here's what's new in the client:

* Completely new graphical interface.
* Icons breaking inventory and room items by high level category.
* Multiple help files can be examined at once now.
* You can now toggle off the character portrait, macro buttons, and
graphical gauges.
* Reworked backend allowing for a simpler window/tab interface.
* There are two kinds of windows: pinned and unpinned. Pinned windows
are the five windows in the default layout, and they will scale with the
available space in your browser window.
* Unpinned windows are created by dragging a tab off a window into
elsewhere.
* Unpinned windows can be moved around and easily resized, but they will
not rescale based on window size.
* You can drag additional tabs onto the tabs area of an unpinned or
pinned window in order to move it there.
* You can right - click to rep in area window, which will make it return
to its default space or window.
* You can also right - click to toggle windows on or off.
* When communication shows up in the comm window while it's not the
selected tab in a window, you'll see a notice.
* The client will now scale which windows are visible based on your
window resolution. Basically, there are setups for a full PC/laptop, a
tablet, and a phone.
* Improved network backend, allowing connections from computers that
have telnet blocked by proxy servers and firewalls.
* Improved performance generally.
