Strayed News

Important: Starting today, we will be doing bi-weekly updates to improve our workflow. The constant delays and immediate bugs on wipe are a result of trying to cram a bunch of changes into just a couple days of work. With a bi-weekly update schedule, we can properly test our changes with staging servers and groups of testers. The next update will be May 24th and we'll be adding a bi-weekly server then!
