Worldwake Update (Beta 4.3)

The Beta 4.3 update is now complete, including Worldwake. Download link in the nav bar to the left
Unfortunately I didn't have time to implement (or really look in to) a better update procedure, so you will still have to uninstall your old version then reinstall the new one.

Again, no worries, the save files aren't effected by this process at all.

Changes included in the 4.3 version:
> Complete Gather text for every card, including the new October rules changes.
> New sets included: Worldwake, GVL, Slivers
> Updates to FNM, JGC, and MPR special printings
> Several minor fixes, art corrections, and such.


I never got around to completing the Garruk vs Liliana or Sliver records, so the art for those is missing. I changed the way foil/normal printings are handled to be more efficient, but I think some records were updated incorrectly in the database when I did so. Again, nothing major, just some cards will have a FOIL numeric box when they shouldn't.


The update process was pretty smooth, with just a couple of minor problems, namely the fact that Gather output has changed slightly (in the background code) and now adds HTML line breaks throughout card text for some bizarre reason.
I had to figure out how to remove that weirdness and finally just removed all HTML 'BR' tags for the old-new comparison. Once I managed that I discovered a grand total of about four changes in all of Gather.
Piece 'O cake.
