Hey all,
New version inbound. Mostly bugfixes from 4.5.1 and earlier versions. I hereby declare 4.6 to be stable and no longer a beta.
A really big thank you to @axatin for doing all the work in compiling this release, and just generally doing a lot around here recently.
Sorry for the wait, I do still exist despite my lack of communication recently. My availability has increased, will increase again in about a week, and will skyrocket in about two weeks. I haven't been able to make the changes I want to do as quickly as desired due to a really rough/stressful 6 months or so, so I'm glad others in the community have stepped up to ensure things are still getting done.
New VP Congress Session starts in a few hours, so get your proposals ready!
Aside from axatin, special thanks to @azum4roll, @KungCheops, @L. Vern, @ilteroi, and JohnsterID (GitHub).
Cheers! Oh, and happy Easter to those of you who celebrate it.
