Forge Beta: 10-18-2013 ver 1.5.3
13337 cards in total.
Release Notes
- Navigation tabs -
Forge now display navigation tabs in the titlebar and supports switching screens without closing them.
By default, Home and Deck Editor are available as tabs, with another closable tab added for any game you start.
X button in upper right now exits Forge rather than going back to Home screen.
To concede the current game, use the X button in the Game tab itself.
Deck Editor and Exit Forge buttons have been removed from the Home screen since they're both accessible on the titlebar.
- True Full Screen support -
Full Screen is now toggled using F11 and has its own button on the title bar.
Maximize will no longer pretend to be Full Screen by covering up the taskbar.
When in Full Screen mode, the titlebar will be hidden unless you move the mouse to the top of the screen.
A "Lock/Unlock" Title Bar button will be available in Full Screen mode to toggle whether the title bar should remain visible at all times.
When in Full Screen mode, a clock will appear to the left of the "Lock/Unlock Title Bar" button.
The title bar will appear on top of other components if not locked rather than pushing anything down.
The title bar will remain visible while accessing the Forge menu.
- Window fixes -
Minimize no longer crashes on Mac
Message and Input dialogs now appear properly centered and on top of main Forge window.
Prompt to save in Deck Editor (if unsaved changes) when using Forge > Restart.
- Introducing the Forge button -
The old menu bar has been removed.
The Forge button on the left side of the titlebar will drop down the same menu of options.
The Alt and Menu keys will also open this menu (even if the titlebar is hidden), with full keyboard navigation of the menus then possible.
The titlebar, minimize, maximize, and close buttons have all been increased in height to make room for the Forge button.
Menu items have been increased in height to make them more touch screen friendly. They also now enforce a minimum 100px width.
F1 has been changed to launch the Forge wiki since it no longer needs to toggle menu bar visibility.
- Forge now requires Java 7 -
Please update your Java runtime environment. At this point Forge versions 1.4.2 and above will no longer run under Java 6. Those who are using Mac OS should install the JDK version rather than the JRE version.
- The Mac OS X application -
At this time Forge now requires Java 7 and will no longer run under Java 6.
Unfortunately, the Mac OS X builder that we were using does not support Java 7. We hope to find and to use a different Mac OS X builder in order to continue releasing a Mac OS bundled application like we have in the past.
Currently, the windows/unix release of Forge includes a launcher file named "forge.command". Double click on the "forge.command" launcher command file and this will in turn launch the Forge jar file via the terminal application while increasing the Java heap space. This should be a temporary inconvenience.

Although I forgot to update the release notes, please note that the first time you click the X button in the upper right, you'll be given the choice between the old behavior of closing the current screen and returning to the Home screen (which matches what the X button on each navigation tab does) or exiting Forge if already on the Home screen, or the alternative behavior of exiting Forge regardless of the current screen. Your choice will be remembered so you won't be prompted again, though you can change this setting at any time in preferences. This way, whether you like the old behavior or expect that X button to exit the application, you'll be able to have it work that way.
Also keep in mind that even if you choose to have that X button work like before, the tabs will remain available for switching screens without closing them.

Multiplayer is still bugged. Every single computer still attacks the Human player no matter what. This makes multiplayer games with normal decks nearly impossible, especially with the larger amounts of players. Please, add an option for this somewhere, or just put it back the way you had it in 1.5.0 and earlier.
Good job on the new UI, though, and thanks for making the new options optional!

Really good work on the UI guys! Even gave a popup for when we all accidentally try to close the game from the deck editor 
It's too bad there's no Daxos yet, I was kinda hoping I would be able to playtest him. I can see why he would be a nightmare to code though.

With multiple copies of Tangle Wire in play under my control, after I declare the permanents to tap, they do tap as they should, but when resolving the next trigger, I am able to re-use the already tapped permanents. I could be wrong, but I don't think this is allowed by the rules.

Force of Nature says in top right does 2 damage, but card and all sources say 8 damage.

I got this error message after Forge launching and charging its components. Windows was newly installed and Java newly updated (but, obviously, he didn't recognize it).

I just downloaded this version of Forge, copied files to fresh directory. Java was just updated 10 minutes ago. After opening Forge, I go to Quick Gauntlet and hit Start, and get this:

As it was a few versions ago, the game freezes randomly sometimes without warning. There is no error report when it freezes.
