Fixed text extending beyond the edge of the text input box
Added better network disconnetion detection, previously this would take up to 30 seconds to detect, now 5 seconds.
Due to this network change 1083 clients cannot connect to pre-1083 servers, however 1083 servers can accept pre-1083 clients.
For anyone implementing the AppGameKit network spec a server must now respond to message ID 7 with message ID 6.
Old Android Dev Kits need to download and install the latest Android SDK and select Tools & API 13 to install over any existing files you may have. Re-using the SDK folder location will help
If Eclipse gives you problems, go to Help > Check For Updates to install missing elements
In Android project fails to compile, enter project properties > Android and tick Android 3.2 then Apply
