Hi TTDPatch fans!

Despite announcing in my last email that beta 8 would be the last 2.5
beta, I've now released beta 9 at http://www.ttdpatch.net/src/

There were still a number of bugs to be fixed in beta 8, and I'd like to
have the bugfixes tested a bit more before releasing a stable version.  By
now, the number of open bugs for the 2.5 version on the tracker
http://wiki.ttdpatch.net/tiki-view_tracker.php?trackerId=1 is negligible,
so unless new issues crop up in this version, there's a good chance that
we'll be able to release the 2.5 stable version soon.

If you reported a bug in earlier versions and it still isn't fixed in beta
9, I urge you to create a new ticket on the bug tracker to make sure that
I will fix it before the stable release.

As is appropriate for a beta version, practically all the changes are
bugfixes.  I won't even attempt to summarize them here, if you're
interested see the complete list below.

Now please enjoy the new beta, test it extensively and do report any bugs
you find, both new or old!

Josef
