Changed OpenRA now uses Mono.Nat 1.1.0 instead of it's own limited UPnP router detection and port forwarding code (should support more devices now) Destroyed bridges can now be repaired with an engineer.
Changed Detect NAT devices only once on startup (removes lag when creating a new game). Disable the Automatic portforwarding checkbox if no UPnP enabled devices are discovered Significantly improved AI.
Added more UPnP user settings: boolean Server.VerboseNatDiscovery for additional debug messages in server.log, integer Server.NatDiscoveryTimeout in miliseconds Added (beta) support for left-click mouse orders via the settings menu.
Now using SharpFont instead of a custom patched Tao.FreeType in close collaboration with upstream Added "move viewport to group" hotkey (home key or double tap group number).
Dedicated servers: Exposed several new and/or hidden preferences in the settings menu.
