Development news

We've only got a few more tasks before the new Superpowers app can be released.

Here's what's been happening lately:

• Welcome dialog when starting up for the first time
• Connection status and retry button when joining a server
• Built-in IRC chat is done! with icons
• The server's command line has been refactored and improved to report progress when installing / updating a system or plugin
• Number fields now have their content selected on focus. Great to quickly edit positions.
• SupClient.setupHotkeys is being phased out: hotkeys are now automatically registered in your editors!
• In Superpowers Game, you can now focus an actor by double-clicking on it
• Looots of translation updates have been merged. Thanks y'all!
