This release includes a brand new authentication system written from the ground up. It also includes an completely rewritten Flagging system as well as some major optimization which should reduce page load times. The option to throttle bandwidth usage has also been added allowing you to correct WMP's greedy streaming behavior. A few issues with the translations have also been addressed along with a large number of other minor cosmetic and functional bugs.
