So, what do I mean by RC1? It stands for "Release Candidate 1". It means that I think this is getting close to a public release.

From a bug fixing standpoint, it means that I'm only going to be fixing the really critical bugs that people report. Also, if there are any new bugs introduced by the changed in this version, I'll be fixing them too.

But I'm going to try and keep the bug fixes minor. No more sweeping changes that can cause lots of new bugs and side-effects.

So, it you run into any really critical issues like crashes or corrupted data, please mark your post as [1.21] URGENT so that I'll see it right away.

Unless there is something really major wrong with 1.21, I'll probably leave it out for people to play with until early next week.

I realize that the downside of releasing so many versions so quickly this week is that it's hard for people to keep up. So that's why I'm going to let you work with 1.21 for several days. But I wanted to release this tonight because it fixes the major issue with the My Games/CMUD directory in the installer, and this problem was causing a lot of related bug reports. So it was hard to see the real remaining issues.

Thanks for all of your help with the beta testing. It's been really helpful to have so many people actively beating on this when I was releasing new versions so quickly.

You seem to be making really good progress with the bugs recently, but I was a little surprised to see on the version history 1.21 and 1.20 being released on the same day! I think you may not have updated the date for 1.21. Cool
