Upcoming v1.20 features

How about lobby status icons? Since the crowd is currently small the current tactic is log in, wait in windowed mode and hope for another player.

It would be handy of the client could detect if the machine it's based on was active (keyboard input in any window etc.) and then display an AFK icon next to the player if it's not after five or ten minutes. That'd save some pointless challenging.

Yeah, having an icon in the game (and in the taskbar, if that's possible) that tells you if there's someone in the lobby would be nice...

Here's an idea, an option to minimise to the system tray, complete with ballon alerts for people joining the lobby and challenging you (along with alert sounds).

I added a few new completed items to the change list at the top of this thread. Lots more to come still...

Having demo players in will be pretty cool
