Latest Release (v0.6) of OneEyeDeer is Up

Wow - it's only been 3 weeks since we dropped the last version of OneEyeDeer and there's already been an amazing amount of activity on the site.

A big thanks to each and every one of you who has taken the time to jump on the site.

We're well aware that everyone is attention poor these days, so whether you've popped in to view an issue or done anything from posting an issue to ranking a solution to starting a community, we'd like to say a massive, "Thank you!"

Now, while you guys were working hard on the site, so were we! The latest version of the site has been released and is ready for you to play with.

Below are the main changes we've made. I've highlighted some of the big things so you know what to look for :)

As usual, thanks for playing a part in helping make OneEyeDeer better. We really appreciate it.

If you haven't already signed up as a beta-tester, jump on the site at www.oneeeydeer.com and register and we'll send you out details on how to participate straight away.
