HLstatsX:CE Version 1.6.5 Released

Version 1.6.5 has been released.

As usual, download links are up at our Google Code page.

The last release, 1.6.4, unfortunately had to be pulled because of some last minute bugs and other things found from improper testing. We were just excited to finally get it out as we believe this resolved any outstanding bugs in the 1.6.x series. This means that we can work full force on 1.7.0, taking on all sort of new features that have been requested!

As a holiday bonus to all the bugfixes included, FernFerret has reemerged to create more of his excellent TF2 award and ribbon images. He has also filled in and created images for the TF2 weapons that were missing them.

Note: We now offer .tar.gz in addition to our .zip files. The contents of the packages are identical, however the .tar.gz is suggested for Linux as it has the necessary permissions already set.

Upgrade instructions:
