In case you hadn't already heard, this is one of my last emails as Q Linden.
Today's my last day.
It's been fun working with you all. You may see me again as a contributor.
We'll see how it goes.
Thanks for all of your passion.

I haven't delved into this code recently, but the featuretable is now
downloaded from our servers each time (so we can adjust without having to
re-release the software). It does lag by one iteration, though (we've already
set up the video by the time it's downloaded, so it affects the NEXT run).
That was a bug I fixed last week. STORM-716.
It seems to be fixed in both beta and viewer-development. Are you sure you're
using the latest build?

Can we please not have the "fix bugs not features" and "add missing features

We've had a good first few weeks of the Snowstorm team. It took a little longer

Much of our success in this period can be attributed to the uns
