Summary

The server now supports attaching multiple map pools to the ladder1v1 queue. It decides which map pool to use based on the rating of the lowest rated player in the match. So for instance if there were a map pool for players with mean below 800, then any new player would be guaranteed to play on only maps from that map pool until their trueskill mean surpassed 800. The exact makeup of the new map pools is up to the ladder team, so check the forums for details.

Other noteworthy changes

• Players can no longer snipe a spot in their friend's ladder games by clicking the "Join friend's game" notification. (This was the cause of the rare "nomads in ladder" bug)
• Admin commands now use the new permission system
• Games will no longer except results from clients that claim to have closed ForgedAlliance. This should allow us to fix the "unrated games" issue with game patch.
