Leaderboard Reset

• Top 2.5% of scores for each level in the Overall and Unbreaking leaderboards are being reset.
  
  We do everything we can to avoid resetting leaderboard scores. From our internal analysis getting scores in the top 2.5% often required abuse of physics exploits that are being patched. To encourage fair competition scores that are no longer possible after the physics update had to be removed.

• Show progress icons for workshop levels
  
• Show level author name for workshop levels in the Level Info UI
