version 1.08b:
* Fixed a bug that caused the game to crash when a damaged morphing 
  creep colony, changed into a sunken colony. 
* Mac ladder maps are now correct. 
* Corrected URLs for KBK. www.kbk21.com. 
* Removed URL for replay FAQ.

Version 1.08:
* Adds support for a new template "Top vs Bottom". This template 
functions like Melee, with the exception that players in each half 
are automatically allied and share vision at game start, thus 
removing the "who am I allied with" question (and reducing the 
amount of clicking done after the game starts). The game creator can 
move players around between the two sides as needed to assign teams 
properly. Note that Top vs Bottom only works for games with two 
sides - if you want to play 2x2x2 games, you will still need to use 
Melee. 

* Adds support for Game Recording. When a game is over, there will 
be a new button "Save Replay" in the victory/defeat screen. If you 
save a replay, you can watch it at a future date. Replays are saved 
to the "replay" folder inside your Maps folder. Create a game and 
pick your replay from the "replay" folder. A replay is always 
passworded. Up to 7 other people can join your your replay game to 
watch it with you; chat is from the people currently connected to 
the replay game. Replay files can be transferred to other people 
automatically (if someone joins your replay game, they get your 
replay transferred to them via the automatic map download facility), 
or you can copy your replay files (replays end in .REP) from your 
"replay" folder to a desired destination manually. NOTE: game 
recording does not work for Team games (Team Melee, Team Free for 
All, Team Capture the Flag). 

* Adds support for gateway selection. You can now specify which 
Battle.net cluster to connect to. In normal cases, you will do 
nothing, and you will be sent to the "closest" Battle.net cluster. 
If you wish to override the automatic selection, you can pick a 
cluster manually. 

* Save Game clarification - the save game window now shows: Saving 
Multiplayer Game Save Game Name: XXX in order to avoid the "Saving 
Starcraft Virus 1.0 to Hard Disk" joke. 

* If you are really clever, you can crush tanks by landing buildings 
on them. This is the unexpected consequence to fixing a cheeze that 
allowed players to have siege tanks underneath barracks. 

* Better proxy support 

* Clearer battle.net messages. 

* Updated "Connecting to fastest server" messages to be clearer. 

* Ladders maps updated. 

* Ladder cheating fix - Ladder map alteration fix (Japanese version, 
too!) 

* Fixed various language translation problems. 

* Fixed "gliding SCV" and "teleporting drone" bugs
