I've updated the TLS certificates for BattleBazaar.net and BattleBazaar.com.  Sorry for taking so long, but just did the rekey and reinstall.  That means no more nasty warnings when viewing them about them being expired.

I am getting ready to post a beta version of the patcher and some other software.  Among other things, I'm experimenting with SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) which is what Sony is using for their voice chat, and what Microsoft uses in Exchange.  That would allow us to have voice chat without being "in the middle."  I'll update on that when I determine if it's something I want to go forward with or not.  SIP is the protocol used by most VOIP phones also, which makes it convenient to route to soft phones for support.  It's also used by most Internet PBX-equivalent phone systems.  It is almost certain that I will go that way in place of the XMPP support I had been working on, just because of the potential to support Voice in this way.

* Be aware: if you're on the development or staff mailing lists, you will be receiving a link soon.  That link will get you set up with the OpenID software on the server.  The invite will be on the TLS (HTTPS) site, and will be to the "GM-Developer" and/or "GM-Staff" player associations.  You should accept those invites, and fill out your profile as needed.  If you're using Yahoo's OpenID provider, they will not provide profile information.  If you are using MyOpenID.com, they'll ask you what fields you want to share and you should mark them.
