Changes:

Ring game and tournament editors changed to scrolling lists. Previously the settings where on a single form that was getting too crowded. Just double-click or press Enter on a setting to edit it.

Added "Rebuy Threshold" option to tournament settings. Previously a player could only rebuy when their stack was at or below the starting chip amount. Now you can specify what that threshold is.

Added "Time Bank Reset" option to ring and tournament settings. Previously when a player used up all their time bank, that was it. Now you have the option to auto refill the time bank after the player plays the specified number of hands. For example, if you set this option to 60, then each player will get their time bank topped off after every 60 hands that they play at the table (or at the tournament).

Changed "Remove No-Shows" to "No-Show Levels" in tournaments. Previously, the no-show removal was a Yes/No setting that took place at the end of the first level. Now you can specify more than one level. Since this setting was renamed, it will lose your previous setting. And since the default value is 0 (disabled), you'll need to manually edit your tournament settings if you want re-enable no-show removal.

Added "Disconnect protection" option to ring game and tournament settings. Previously disconnect protection was always on for all tables. Now you have the option to disable it.

Moved "Unregister at logout" to local tournament setting. Previously it was on the System tab in the Client Settings and applied to all tournaments. Now you can turn it on or off for individual tournaments. For example, you may want to turn it on for "start when full" tournaments but not for scheduled time tournaments.

Added callback events for tournament register and unregister. Parameters are explained in the help.

The table Pause command is now split into separate "Pause (now)" and "Pause (after hand)" commands. In addition, a new "Now" parameter has been added to the RingGamesPause and TournamentsPause API commands. Set to "Yes" (the default) to pause tables immediately or "No" to pause when the hand completes. This could be used to generate a synchronized break system on your site so that all breaks start at the same time.

Added "LocalTime" and "UTCTime" to SystemStats call in API. This allows you to get the clock setting on your server.

Added "RebuyFee" parameter to tournament results file.

Fixed 64-bit memory leak related to tournament start time. If your 64-bit Gold version locks up after running long enough, this may have been the culprit.

Fixed unregister bug related to Start Now checkbox. This only occurred if the admin manually unregistered players from the console.

Fixed HTML encoding bug with Site Name display in client. Previously if you used a reserved HTML character (like an apostrophe) in your Site Name, it was double-escaped in the client.
