Stay with the .37c. I had no memory leak with that test client. .37d put
the memory leak back in or a new one that is about the same as the
'offical client' my hard drive started grining again. One thing I do
like is that when the sun goes down it gets dark I mean dark, no shade
but black and white with just touchs of color. I had to get buy myself
nightsight potions to stop running into walls in vesper. :)

I like the work going into the client but I wish they clear out the
leaks once and for all. Also how is the feedback about the client being
done, I see a report log is created so I guessing it;s automatic?

The problem I see (or don't see really), is that it is so dark its a
must to use Nightsight. So its dark for about 3 seconds, and then it
goes away. You never get to see the neat new lighting effects unless
you are intentionally looking for them. I think they need to lighten
the night a wee bit, and then have Nightsight not bring you back to full
daytime lighting.

Widening the radius of light would also be a good idea. It takes
multiple (3-4) light sources for even a small one room house.

I agree. The lighting certainly isn't that great in 37d. I really like the
darkness lighting effects, but it's just too damn dark. All of my
characters can cast, and each one will be using In Lor if they integrate
this change. Then I won't get to see the purty lights at all... =(
