New Version

Forge has 300 new cards and a total of 8,764 cards.  That is an insane number of cards and it is great that it is in one free package.  Basically you could play Forge for the rest of your life without being bored.  (Well...if you are a card freak like me, you could.)

A listing of the new cards and be viewed here.  Scroll down to "Added many cards, including:" and next to "New Card List" click on "Open".

Some of the improvements that Chris H. mentions:

A new bug reporting system based on Mantis is being developed. When Forge crashes a new report form will appear that will allow you to send in a detailed bug report.

We would like to remove the old "Current Known Bugs" list topic on the forum. While this topic has been useful over the last two years it may be time to try another approach.

In the future bugs and other issues will be reported with the Bug Report form, the Mantis based Cardforge Issue Tracker or by posting a message on the then current forge beta release topic on the forum.

Some people that are using an early version of java 7 under the Windows OS have reported errors that state "Split must have > 2 children". Anyone having this sort of problem should de-install java 7 and install java 6 instead.
