To the ones that think the DEVs don't do enough work

Due to some community members being complete smacktards, not valuing the DEV team work, thinking we are just teasing you with 0.8 stuff without releasing the new version for whatever reason, I just wanted to give them some perspective.

People seem to forget we do this for free, for fun and for the challenge, on our spare time.

People seem to forget you get to play this completely different game also for free.

People seem to forget the quality of the work of each release (even with the bugs).

People outside the DEV team or tester teams don't realize how much work is necessary to implement and test the changes we do to keep that quality standard.

These are just some reminders... and to back me up, not that there's a need to prove ourselves, I thought it would be interesting to show you the changelog since 0.75 release (march 16th) until today.

This is just the core changelog directly from the svn repository and doesn't include all the work from the mappers that is in a different repository.

So to all of you that were the smacktards I talked about, or were just thinking stuff like that, go do something useful and stop wasting our time.
