There's a hackathon this thursday/friday here at the office. I've put a team together to work on a big update for the game. This update will require a full binary submission to apple (ios 5 support etc.. ) and will also include all the other update details I've mentioned on various threads. It usually takes a week or so for an update to get approved once submitted, so after all our testing and other internal stuff, I'd comfortably say to expect it by the end of the month
However if that doesn't happen, try not to rake me over the coals too much. It's impossible to know what hurdles may lay in wait ahead for my plan
