MapTool 1.12.2
Bug Fix Release for MapTool
This release should fix the issues with disconnects and with the dreaded red Xs.
Read Me First
Before uninstalling any previous version, if you have saved your campaign files, logs, or anything else you want to keep under the directory structure where MapTool is installed, please copy them elsewhere beforehand. It is also a good idea to always have backups.
Note: Do not install over the top of an old version, either install into a new directory or uninstall the old version first.
