- The client JAR file erroneously includes raw .java source files for the isometric preview applet under the directory
/isom. This would be the first version since Classic 0.0.13a to do so. The files being:isom/IsomPreview.java(dated September 23, 2011, at 14:02)isom/IsomPreviewApplet.java(dated February 22, 2011, at 09:13)isom/Zone.java(dated February 22, 2011, at 09:13)isom/ZoneRenderer.java(dated July 20, 2011, at 11:21)
