Okay, so I noticed 19. is still in pre-releases.
why did they put out a feature freeze BEFORE releasing a full 1.9 patch? would be more logical than doing it the way they have.
think of 1.9 as being split into 2 parts... part one was the cool new features we all got to try out (and a few more we haven't seen yet)... then feature freeze! which is the bug fixing part.
I guess they "could" have split it into different releases, but it's all semantics.
Releasing it as an official update would force all users after logging in to download and install the update. As the current version contains many unfinished features, bugs, and is generally pretty laggy, not everyone wants to or has installed it. But you can, if you want to. I imagine you already have, so I don't understand why you want the patcher to force it on other users.
Putting in a freeze to stop and optimize the code, fix bugs, and flesh out incomplete features now makes more sense than making the patch official.

apologies of this topic has been done before.
That is all!
