Glest Community Development Monthly - Issue 21

[hailstone]

Welcome to the twenty-first issue of Glest Community Development. Below you will find events I have recorded over the last month from the forum (usually for things that can be downloaded or a screenshot of progress), GAE SVN, and bug tracker. Thanks go to the people who have been busy improving Glest with patches, mods and providing support.

The winner of the Glest Community Award for August 2009 is Silnarm. He makes valuable contributions to GAE on projects such as the merge of GAE and Glest 3.2.2, path finder rewrite, and the GAM.

NOTE: the dates are only approximations. Please post any corrections, suggestions, or additions.

The next issue is scheduled for 11 October 2009.
