HAC2 release notes

Besides the new features discussed here: http://wiki.halonet.net/index.php/HAC2/Post-Install-HAC2

Known issues

If you put hac.dll in your main Halo install folder, it will not update, and HAC2 might tell you to press F1 to update every time you start Halo.

Various bugs and other things fixed that you wouldn't know about right away:

- Large maps, larger than somewhere around the 200MB mark, caused Halo to leave open file descriptors, causing a memory leak. After discussing this with 002/Kaviwuvi's help, he came up with a quick fix that involved loading the map in larger chunks than stock. This affected both the server and the client, and the client in self-hosting mode. Not sure if this affects SAPP.

- Some NetEvents issues were fixed. Even when not connected to a server, after aborting a connection, NetEvents would try to communicate with the server, causing crash. Fix was to check if "current map" was UI, and if so, don't other.

- custom_chat and classic_chat can no longer be enabled/disabled while in-game. Stock halo chat text would freeze on-screen if one of these custom chat types were enabled.

- There is a Bugzilla instance with (as of right now) about 10 or 15 bugs/enhancements to be fixed or implemented. These will be taken care of as time permits.
