==3.0.0 (2011-04-26)==
After a rather long development cycle due to the switch to LWJGL, there's a new client with exciting new features.
Due to recent server code advancements making a release necessary, not all bugs could be fixed in time. Known issues:
*Windowed resizable mode is known to cause freezes - do not use it in critical situations.
*OpenAL: Excessive echo effect in combination with EAX.
*Mouse bindings: only middle mouse button (mouse2) bind actually works.
Most important changes since 2.7.5g:
(see the client development thread for full details)
*Lots of bug fixes and performance improvements.
*Direct LWJGL is now the only renderer, replacing JOGL and indirect LWJGL.
*Upgrade to LWJGL 2.6.
*Added 'resize' console command to resize the window.
*New window icons.
*Support for binding mouse buttons (apart from LMB and RMB).
*Use pbuffers for offscreen rendering if FBO is not available. This makes it possible to use terrain and reflection textures larger than the window, should you want to.
*Disable Pbuffer support in the compatibility tab if rendering performance with pbuffers is too low.
*BUTCHER and BURY keybinds.
*Add options window for changing options without going via the console.
*"Toggle spacing" option for fight window.
*Option to mark text as read in the chat windows.
*Creatures are now rotating according to terrain slopes.

*Support for loading Collada models.
*Add support for new outline of players who are on your friends list.
*Support for coloring player names in chat name lists (local, village) according to their outline - if they are in your local. This is applied for friends, villagers and allies, and GMs.
*Option to disable caching of decoded sounds - use it if you're really low on memory and rather want to get sounds read from disk and decoded every time they play.
*Options to disable crafting/work, combat, emote and door sounds. Those can also be changed with the ingame settings GUI.
*Display Local list in Combat tab as well if it's moved to the event window.
*At high mining skill, the tooltip shows if cave floors are flat.

Low frame rate since the update!
* Try disabling pbuffer support in the compatibility tab.
* Try reducing terrain resolution.
Cyrillic / greek text input does not work anymore!
