14. Bug Fixes/Improvements:

- The Language Dropdown Selector in the Map Window now shows common used languages on top
- When you are putting items in the farm (from item storage, gift box, etc) and the category for that item is hidden you get a warning message. This way you will not be lost questioning why the item dissapeared.
- When sending gifts and using the 'Facebook Friend Lists' option, there are no popups now when asking for permissions, this way there will be less issues with browsers and popup blockers
- When switching Stable views to the larger Stable the facility manager sometimes was showing ”no animals to harvest at this time”, this has been fixed
- Friend Activity panel at the bottom of the game now eliminates a lot of duplicate content.
- Help Links are now functioning in Firefox 7.01+
- You can now laod baits into tackle shop even if you still have baits in harvest storage. Reminder: As of 2 weeks ago, you should not have any more NEW baits in storage, baits from farming plant (and tackle shop when working for others) goes directly to the bait counters.
- 'Follow Avatar when walking' option in the preference window removed, was causing more trouble than benefit. The functionality was also disabled in the game.

(All service facilities are now covered by tools)

Thanks

--Raul


Post Release Fixes - Nov 17, 7:15PM EST:

- Exchange Gift / Send Gift Back now shows a radio button below the gifts like the send gift page, so people can click it to select animals
- Quick fix for Friend Selector Dialog in Firefox and Chrome browsers, this was a Facebook issue but we found a temporal workaround in the meantime
- Belts for fish are now fixed

Post Release Fixes - Nov 24, 1:50AM EST:

- Checkboxes in regular facilities and services facilities are now separate, for example, you can now have your baits checked in your fish farming plant but unckeck in the fishing tackle shop

- When putting items in the farm (from item storage, gift box, etc) and the category for that item is hidden you get a warning message but you are allowed to continue if you want

- There is a new preference option to 'Show/Hide Seasonal Items', so you can now hide all seasonal items at once

- The herding minigame can now be played in multiplayer-mode, once you challenge all farmers in the farm and people join the game, the one who complete all 3 stages first win, prizes coming soon

Post Release Fixes - Nov 25, 11:00PM EST:

The 'Send Gift Back' is now working again when accepting gifts the old way (through facebook instead of the My Requests tab in farmtown)
