Release Candidate 0

Yes, we are nearly there for the release! It's hard to believe it's finally happening - more than 10 years after we started working on Youropa - but what a great feeling it is! As always there are a million things we wanted to fix, but not enough time. We've been going over your reports and our own lists, to find out which details should make the cut. It's been some busy days, but we're pretty happy with what we've got. So without further ado, here are the changes in the latest update - which will be the last before release barring some unforseen incident:
