That's been the plan since v19, and even before. Not like it was unmentioned. He's talked about how RTB 4 is currently using a hacky workaround until Badspot makes an update to make it work for a long time now.

Forget it , I cant opt in but I found a bug with normal rtb when you click the lower left tip of the go back bottom on the mod manager, it refreshes instead of going back.
I hope you remove any inactive Blockland users,but I wont think I'll be able to apply as Im going on a 4 day Vegas trip.
Ephialtes:
RTB4 Beta 4 just went out, I'm hoping this is the last beta before the release candidate as there's only a couple more things to do:
* Room management (less work than it sounds)
* Sending PMs to people who are not your friends
* Display a list of people you've recently played with when you go to add a friend
* Better management of modal windows so they can be displayed in places other than the main client menu
* Changes to make the client attempt auto re-connections
Changelog:

- Windows on the overlay now have their position and size saved for people with big resolutions.

1: The missing /me bothered me for some reason. Good it's back.
2: Checkboxes for specific elements of a GUI... How does it regulate this?
3: Sticky Notifications?
4: You should have made it "Chat - RTB Connect" or something. RTB Connect sounds really nice, you shouldn't have to remove the name.
5: Does chat log to a file, or simply ingame? If it does have a log file, does it clear itself or can I keep it all?
6: Or is it only used like this?
