Within the hour we will have uploaded RunUO 2.0 RC2 to the download system for you.

The below changelog is basically a semi-cleaned up log from the SVN for the changes that have taken place for RC2. We realize it's been FOREVER since we've done a release but this release is a big one

1. Support for client 6.0.5.0.
2. support for listening on specific ip addresses and additional ports
3. mono fun
4. playermobile new Account Account is rather useless, scriptcompiler flukes, etc
5. disable webstatus and reports by default, remove commandproperty from Mobile.Account, fix house placement being blocked by boats in yard (oceanfront property :P)
6. looks like no safefilehandle with mono, maybe Handle has a working impl?
7. SetConsoleCtrlHandler is a Windows API issue not a Mono one and is now handled by Core.Unix. Because it is never used, Kernel32 will never be imported on Unix platforms.
8. fixed some funky service behavior (thanks panther)
9. clean up mono script compilation output, spammed warnings are ignored
10. implemented OnWarmodeChanged
11. vendor bugfix
12. Mono compatibility changes
13. To clarify a bit, mono incorrectly increments the pointer 4 bytes when using *somePtr++, when it should increment the pointer the 3 or 7 bytes in the case of Tile/StaticTile. Using somePtr = somePtr + 1 works flawlessly.
14. Fix Mono pointer arithmetic bugs
15. Removed canbeharmful check on reveal spell
16. BallOfSummoning required to be in pack
17. Cleaned up ban duration gump
18. fix packet throttling with handler overlay
19. Support for > 6.0.1.7 (Containers, SecureTrade, SpellBook, Vendors, etc)
20. WarningGump Fixed
21. scissors should NOT be able to cut locked down or movable false items
22. Rewrite exit code, shutdown handlers etc
23. ip-based account authentication and authorization
