A big thank you to Dave for featuring us.

- Made one of the teams do the rebel yell or shout huzzah when the opposing team goes one step down in its morale, from Battle Ready to Engaged for example.

- Made your spot in the flag bearer spawn queue be listed more accurately.

- Reworked 9th New York uniforms.

- Updates to 2nd Mississippi uniforms.

- Updates to 18th Georgia uniforms.

- Added regiment divided spawn areas on all skirmish areas, ensuring every regiment is already formed up at spawn.

- Added icons above NCOs of your regiment that can be shown by pressing T. These icons will only be shown if the NCO is InFormation. This is to make it easier for newly spawned players to find their way back to their regiment.

- Made the flag automatically spawn an icon above it when dropped if Auto Show HUD have been enabled in the options menu, otherwise the icon can be shown by pressing T.

- When an officer draws a new line, if the icon above the previously drawn line is still shown, the previous icon is removed.

- Reduced the ingame icon sizes at distances.

- Added some experimental performance improvements to the server.

- Added small toll houses on each end of the main bridge on Harpers Ferry.

- Minor character and weapon material adjustments.

- Fixed the opening speed and amount of a few doors.

- When spawning on the flag, you will now spawn on the flag of your regiment if the flag of your regiment is being carried by a player. If the flag bearer of your regiment has not spawned or if the flag of your regiment has been dropped, the system will automatically move you over to the spawn queue of the other regiments flag bearer if one exists.
- When spawning on the flag bearer, the UI now displays if the flag bearer is Out of Line or if the flag has been dropped.
- When the flag bearer becomes Out of Line, the spawn queue on him now pauses instead of getting deleted entirely. This means that once the flag bearer becomes Skirmishing or In Formation again, the spawn timer resumes and everyone keeps their spot in the spawn queue.
- Made the spawn queue on the flag bearer display what number you are in the queue, more reliably.
- Prevented the Last Stand message from sometimes being stuck on the screen indefinately.
- Improved start and end reload transitions.
- Reduced the likelihood of players sometimes being stuck for a few seconds after having finished reloading.
- Tweaked the time of day settings to prevent very dark shadows at specific points in time.
- Added stacked wheat bundles to several wheat fields on the Drill Camp level.
- Updates to Dunker Church model.
- Added overhauled Dunker Church props.
- Reduced the volumetric fog amount at several locations on the Drill Camp level such as the Union firing range, allowing for clearer long distance views.

- Added segmented reloads to all rifles and smoothbore muskets. This means that when you cancel your reload, you will then be able to resume reloading from the logical step where the reload can be resumed. The current steps are, when the cartridge has been placed in the muzzle, when the cartridge has been rammed down, when the ramrod has been reseated and when the cap has been placed on the nipple. If the reload is cancelled while kneeling, you will be able to resume reloading from the correlating spot from a standing position and vice versa.

- Fixed the admin panel often only displaying the close option when pressing E.

- Fixed servers forgetting who was banned if the server is renamed.

- Prevented the Last Stand desertion timer dissapearing for good if Final Push triggers while the Last Stand desertion timer is shown.

- Made the weapons cast shadows.

- Updated time of day.

- Updated Dunker Church model.

- Made various slight performance improvements to the environment.

- Prevented player carried flags from casting shadows onto themselves and in the process, removing all subsurface scattering in the cloth.
