Version history

Version	Changes
2.1.0	We've made performance improvements to ground effects. They now use considerably less bandwidth and server resources. Disconnections or lockstep stuttering near ground effects should occur far less often.
0.10.7b	Poison Arrow and Ground Fire should now cause fewer graphical performance issues.
