Re: Changelog As of 07/01/07

This site sucks so much...

Currently, the FTP is broken, and manual file upload through the control panel is also broken...Sorry, the file is out there ready to be uploaded, but I have no way to do so. Therefore, if you want the newest Besrix, please either send me an e-mail or an IM and I'll get it to you that way for now.
