Here's the full list of changes:
* Game-play has been sped up.
* Post the blind and play right away! - Players can now, if they wish, start playing immediately when joining a table by posting the big blind, rather than having to wait for the blind to come to them.
* New 'Away' mode - Players can now set their status to 'Away'. Hands will be auto-folded and blinds auto-posted until the player returns.
* New 'Auto-boot' mode - Players who continuously let the timer expire (more than three times in a game) will be booted from the table.
* Faster overall pacing - Timers and messaging durations have been adjusted to speed up game-play among experienced players, but still allow novice players plenty of time to play.
* Improved blind structure - Initial blinds, as well as blind increases, are now more proportional to table stakes, ensuring more meaningful increases during game-play.
* Matchmaking improvements - Players are no longer matched into games they cannot afford.
* Improved interface controls - Improvements to controls, such as increasing/decreasing stake amounts.
* Leaderboard display - A player's full winnings and rank are now properly displayed.
* Art and text improvements - Game art and spelling issues have been addressed.
* Online exploits addressed - Certain known exploits that enabled cheating have been addressed. As a result, the online multi-player leaderboards will be reset to eliminate inflated scores as a result of these exploits.
