Notes about new update from cabalonline.com forum Gm Viral

[DEVELOPERS' NOTES] The next CABAL Update
We are pleased to release the Developers' Notes for the next CABAL update (Note there is no official title for the update yet).

These are only Developers' Notes. This means that while the information contained here is accurate it might also change, and some features might be added or removed before the update goes live on our servers.

Also, there is NO RELEASE DATE YET. There is no point in asking when it will go live, since as soon as we know we will inform you about it. Please do not create numerous posts and threads asking when the update will go live (not that asking this has stopped anyone in the past, but hope dies last).

Please remember that these notes are LIABLE TO CHANGE. They still have to go through a number of tests (during which it is almost guaranteed that parts will change).
