As with any web site or application, updates are happening all the time. Sometimes these updates fix bugs and other times include brand new features. Many of the items included in a release correspond to a bug or enhancement listed on the official task list.

I'll be updating this post as I release updates to the web site. Expect a lot over the next few months as bugs are reported and new features rolled out.

Please post a reply if you have any questions or PM me if you have something specific.

The initial launch of the new web site is considered version 5.0 of Redline Derby.

v5.0.1 - 5/5/2014

Bug fixes and security updates
You can now insert an image into a post just by pasting the image URL itself, no toolbar needed, but you will not see the actual image in your writing area when you do. This allows touch devices (iPad, phones) to insert photos. Non-image URLs will still be turned into links.
You can now undo a thumbs up comment if you do so within the first 24-hours of it existing. After one day the comment cannot be deleted by the author, only by admin.
