Changelog:

The Arena v1.4.3

- ADDED: Added simple server friends support. You provide a list of names or wildcard matches, and servers that have friends in them are highlighted with a blue icon instead of green in the server list. Friends are added either via Options->Friends, or right-clicking on a player name in the Server Details module and choosing 'Add Friend'. See the COGS Help file for more information.
- CHANGED: Reworked 'Find random server' logic to make better decisions. Previously, a 'random' server was chosen from the server list by joining the first non-full, non-passworded server (usually the first in the list). Now populated servers are favoured over empty ones, and a random selection is made
- CHANGED: Misc internal content related changes
- CHANGED: Auto-Update changelog screen is now scrollable
- FIXED: Show an error message when the creation of a peer to peer game fails instead of showing no players in the game lobby
- FIXED: Fixed not being able to join a password protected peer to peer game's chat channel
- FIXED: Trivial change to 'Random Connect' dialog to not clip a line of text
- FIXED: Updated the BigPond 'Find out how' link to point to a valid GameArena Url
- FIXED: Fixed an issue where the 'Show Topic' button would not work sometimes after COGS was resized
- FIXED: Corrected "COGS Is Hibernating" message not shown when manual hibernate mode is used and the user returns to COGS
- FIXED: Corrected an issue where when you go to add a new favourite server, a somewhat random/wrong selection is chosen by default in the game drop down list
- FIXED: When returning from hibernation, maximize COGS if it was maximized before hibernation
- FIXED: Fixed an issue where the download of COGS files (such as the internal games list) may become corrupted. A symptom of this problem was missing games in the 'My Games' list
- FIXED: Corrected how COGS handles very large server lists (such as 'Other Servers' in Counter-Strike) that may have made COGS become unresponsive
- FIXED: Fixed 'Play' button in Basic Mode not always finding a server, leaving users in this mode sitting at the 'Please Wait' screen
- FIXED: Fixed a problem under Windows Vista where application settings would not be saved if they were changed during the COGS session and COGS was minimized to the taskbar during a system shutdown
