New in version 6.0

Online game improvements:
Open online games now use the concept of tables with a fixed game. You can now see the players at a table before you join it, and you can safely leave the table before the game has started.
If you start a table in an open game, you can make it accessible for registered players only.
During an open online game, you can ask to remove a player that is stalling (doesn't play).
If a player leaves an open online game (or has been removed), the game will continue with the remaining players. If you are the only remaining player, you have the option to finish your game offline.
It's no longer possible to add computer players to an open online game (but you still can add them in a private game.)
Computer players in an online game now always play at the expert level.
Now you can optionally dock the chat window on two locations in the main window so it isn't in the way any more.
Now you can change the font size used in the chat window.
A new players list helps you keep track of who is fun to play with and who is not, no matter what player name they use.
Game rules:
Now there are 20 and 45 second time limit options too.
Now the time limit is part of the game definition. If it is not set in the game definition, you can still select a time limit when you start the game.
Now a time limit is possible for all types of games including games where you draw cards during or at the start of your turn.
There is a new rule option No card saving allowed. In games with this option set, you must play something if you can and if you already have too many cards in your hand.
Other changes:
Now you can sort your hand during your opponent's turn.
Now there is an auto arrange option in the menus, that will arrange the table every time it's your turn.
Added a new Welcome screen with common tasks.
Improved the default and wooden tile sets.
Changed the registration system.
You'll need a new registration key that registered users can request for free here.
Prepared Rummi for use under Windows Vista.
