Summary

This release consists mostly of bugfixes courtesy of our first time contributors (see below) as well as server enforcement of lobby rating ranges. With future client support, the rating ranges you select for your lobbies will mean that players who don't fall into the desired range will not be shown your lobby. So make sure you check those min and max rating fields before hosting a game!

There are also some internal generalizations of the matchmaking system which are working toward team matchmaker support. So stay tuned, team matchmaking may only be a few releases away!

Other noteworthy changes

• Ban times are displayed more accurately
• Ladder anti map repetition should work again
• Map generator games are now ranked
• Team kills no longer automatically generate moderation reports
