We have just released playtest-20140525, which is the first release candidate for our upcoming June release.

The focus of this playtest has been improving our low-level engine code, but there have been a few nice player-facing improvements, too:

Fixed the shellmap issues that were present in the previous playtest.

Added a “Battlefield News” indicator, so we can keep you up to date on with the latest community news.

Further improvements to the lobby and replay interfaces.

Significant reductions in load time.

More balance improvements!

More bug fixes!

The full list of changes compared with holiday release is available on our wiki.

This announcement is briefer than usual: as the final release only a couple of weeks away, we have decided to save the usual set of screenshots and details for the proper release announcement.
