Yesterday, Unity announced that applications made with Unity 2017.1 or newer contain a vulnerability that could allow an attacker to remotely target a user's machine.

Bird's Eye was (probably) not affected by it, but it was built on a vulnerable version of Unity, so a little bit of housekeeping wouldn't hurt. I recompiled the game with the latest Unity version (6.2) where this issue is fixed.

Here's Steam's official announcement on the whole thing.

So much for the "several planned content, polish and bug-fixing updates", right? But anyway, Bird's Eye received its first big event -- Christmas Event. It includes a bunch of Christmas-themed cards, a special set of rules (which isn't locked to this event and can be toggled at any time) and small bug-fixes and small improvements to various parts of the game.

Oh, and Linux support.

Happy Holidays!

Christmas Event:
- Added a Christmas Event which will run for the duration of the Steam Winter Sale. It includes different background music and decorations across various parts of the game;
