In the interest of a shorter patch cycle, I tried to concentrate on fixing things instead of breaking things in this patch. As a result, there's not a whole lot of glamorous material to present. My focus was cleaning up problems caused by the last patch, and trying to include some material from the actual buglist. I also recognize the community's trials and tribulations dealing with the player-dependent economy, so have attempted again to gently alleviate some of the suffering. The mighty buglist certainly deserves considerably more attention in upcoming patches, but it remains to be seen what can be included next to the other work I have planned.

Of course, the last several weeks have included considerable activity that doesn't get reflected in patch logs. The server merge and a great deal of attention to the billing system have been a distraction from "real" development, which is largely why I haven't pressed forward with agenda topics. We should see results on the changes to our billing system within the next week. There's one further non-development project facing Jumpgate this summer, but I'm hoping it won't overly impact upcoming plans. I'm looking forward to breaking some more things in the next few patches, and I hope everyone will enjoy the adventure with me.
