Yea

You forgot :

FRIENDS & SERVER BROWSER (release this weekend or early next week)

Fixed problem with not always being able to re-add friends after removing them

Fixed case where authorization request dialog could appear multiple times from the same user

Fixed chat messages & authorization requests stealing focus and not starting minimized

Fixed auto-away not working

Removed 'about' dialog

Fixed add-on (checkers, etc) invites when in game appearing over the top of the game, instead of just in the gameUI area

Removed unnecessary bind() calls for client UDP sockets

Chat dialogs now add a message into the text whenever the other user changes status

Fixed spurious character in Game Info dialog

Change 'time' info in game info player list to be in hours:minutes:seconds instead of just seconds

Changed game info player list to default to sorting by score, then time

All in all alot of improving stuff, servers should hopefully not give out that svc bad thing and kick everyone from then \o/
