New map added for testing: Earth V2 by Grundie. An email is now sent when a fog game ends, informing players they can go back and watch the finished game.
Alpha 2	14 October, 2008	The "My Games" page has been overhauled. Thumbnails are now available! They appear in the Create Game wizard and on the new My Games page. You can now nudge players from the lobby. If you nudge a player who hasn't created their account yet, they will be re-sent the sign-up link. You can now boot players who are slow to take their turn. This duration can be set by the game creator for their game.
Alpha 3	22 October, 2008	You can now pick where you want to start in games by using the Manual Distribution feature. Multi-attack mode has changed. Now, armies can attack as much as they want but they can only transfer once per turn. Game creators can now elect to start neutral territories at 0.
Alpha 4	7 November, 2008	Game creators can elect to create their game based off a preexisting template. When a player gets booted, eliminated, or when their surrender is accepted, an entry will now be displayed in the orders list informing everyone of this event. When a player is booted or when their surrender is accepted, their territories will now change to the neutral color to ensure everyone knows they are no longer active.

Alpha 6	25 December, 2008	The Spy Card is now available. This lets you see your opponents territories through the fog. The Reinforcement Card can now be configured to be progressive; that is, start out giving fewer armies and give more as the game goes on. Your-turn notification emails are now set to a 15-minute delay (you will receive them if you don't take your turn within 15 minutes.) If you liked the instant notifications, you may set it back via the Settings page. In manual distribution games, you can now go back and view the map as it was at distribution time. Do to this, click "First turn" button (<<<) in the history controls. Two new distribution modes were added to all maps: Random Warlords and Random Cities. Game creators can now override the value of bonuses if they feel they are overpowered or underpowered for their game.
Alpha 7	5 January, 2009	The Abandon Card is now available. Game creators can now specify how many pieces-of-card that players get each turn.
Alpha 8	18 January, 2009	Re-do functionality has been enhanced. You can now elect to start your turn over from a blank slate or to load your previously issued orders and make modifications to them. Additionally, the turn will not advance while you are re-doing your orders. You can now take your time. You can now discard cards that you don't wish to play. You can now reset your password if you forget it. Game creators can now delete their games that haven't started yet from the Lobby screen. You can now see who has accepted a player's surrender.
Beta 0	14 January, 2009	The sequence that orders are executed is now cycles. For example, instead of going ABC ABC ABC, it goes ABC CBA ABC CBA. Attacks or transfers that don't get executed no longer take up a spot. For example, if you issue a "transfer only" to a spot you do not control, your next order will happen immediately instead of having other player's orders execute first. Player profiles are available. Ranked games are available. Menu system and web-page refreshed. Game creators can now override the offense and defense kill percentages.

Players can now hide the results of their ranked games from their profile page if they wish to keep this information private. Open seats are no longer advertised on the My Games page after 24 hours. Two maps were renamed: "Classic" became "Small Earth" and "Dodecohedron Madness" became "Buckyball Madness".
Beta 3	30 April, 2009	Double-elimination tournaments are now available! When a player changes their name, it will show their old name on the User Profile so their friends can still identify them. Players can now change their name only once every 20 days. Cards played by your teammate now say 'Teammate Played' over them. Full changelog
