Nice job on the guide so far by the way. I like the addition of a tips section for Boxes.

You're right, the guide will need updating for the new version. I hadn't quite considered that. I'll hold off a bit until you give me the all-clear.

Here's the whatsnew.txt for the new version. Hope I didn't miss anything.

Code:
added 'refresh' button in the Games Archive screen
added button to take you directly to game you're already spectating in the Archive
moved # of turns display into colored band in game list (more room for game name)
made it so you can reopen old games you were in that are over and purged
made turn alert beeps repeat 2 more times (in case you miss the first one)
added 'Chat' buttons in Game Room and Game Screen to jump to Chat
added 'recent' button to chat screen that takes you to the most recent game you've opened
added informational popup when you hit send with no text entered
optimized initial chat load. much faster to enter chat room now.
Btw, I noticed the Chess rules part said that the 50-move draw rule is not implemented... but I believe it actually is.

I haven't quite nailed down how game-specific help is going to work just yet (internally). I want them to actually update live from the server if possible. I will probably do that along with some other planned architectural changes that are coming up.
