Happy New Years!  After updating the project to Visual Studio 2013 (which I love), I've started reviewing some of the shitty code and made a couple of behind-the-scenes changes that should improve program reliability.

Bug Fixes: none that are special enough to mention here

Changed Features:

• Completely revised a huge chunk of the game engine in regards to special transformation and move-swapping effects
  
  • The benefit of these revisions is that they took care of the nastier bugs related to the Ferret and Thriller Zombie attacks
  • Unfortunately, some bugs still exist in Thriller Zombie, but it's a heck of an improvement over causing uncountable issues like it did previously
• Added some more useful debugging messages to make testing easier
  

New Features:

• Thanks for your patience.  Michael Jackson can finally use the Thriller Zombie attack!
  

Bug Fixes:

• Corrected the description for Mark's Hijack Moves attack so that it doesn't refer specifically to Mark
  
• Rewrote the character special attack handlers to prevent unexpected behavior with transformed fighters
  
• Fixed some potential bugs related to move-swapping and fighter-transforming
  
• Fixed some potentially game-breaking bugs when applying one transformation effect onto a fighter who already has a transformation effect applied
  
• Fixed a startup bug where loading battle music from a website URL didn't work correctly
  

Changed Features:

• Even more background work, especially on League Mode which will hopefully be somewhat playable soon
  
• Harry Potter has learned a new spell!
  
• Changed a text string in the updater scripts
  
• You no longer start the game with $500.  Money earned in Quickplay is now saved in the config file. (I may or may not have left the give money button in for debugging though... imeanwhat)
  

New Features:

• NEW Music!  Special thanks to Chris S. who generously made an end-of-battle victory fanfare! :D
  
• Building off of stuff I added in Beta 0.84, Mad-Eye Moody's Ferret is now fully operational! :D (Thriller Zombie is still horribly broken, I hope to figure this dreadful bug out soon!)
  
• Added a stop error form in case something goes horribly wrong that causes the program to crash, with the option to send an error report
  
• Added a Send Feedback button in the Options window. If you really like something, have a suggestion, want to send me hate mail, or found a bug, please let me know!
  
• Added a What's New? button to the update available dialog, which takes you to the changelog on the Celebrity Beatdown website
  
• Added a link to the Celebrity Beatdown Facebook page on the About screen
  
• Added our new Facebook Page logo to the About screen! (thanks Nick M., it's wonderful! :D)
  
• -Known Issues:
  
• Web addresses for background music can't be set from the options window.  You have to set this manually in the config.ini file.  I'll fix that soon.
