A fairly significant update was put up today (7/22/15). You can see the full update list on the change log.
Major enhancements were made to the Snooker physics to make the play more realistic. This included making the table faster and more slippery and major modifications to the rail model. Note that if you have been customizing the table, the new setup will not correlate to the numbers used before. This is because parameters were changed that were not adjustable by players, and also some parameters were relative to a baseline that changed.
We are entering a new era in tournament play. Modifications were made to allow game specific rule options and game specific handicapping. This is basically the setup we had for Match rooms. A jump cue option was also added. The significance in tournament play is we can have different types of handicapping. Not only is this more fun but it allows playing long games like Snooker, One Pocket with handicaps (before too long to had enough games for it to work). We are also computing rating points for all handicap types, so all tournament play effects your ratings.
