Got this one out slightly faster than other recent releases. Hopefully I can keep up the pace. Quite a few things to look forward to in this release - especially if you deide to help out by donating, which now means you get access to the subscription service osu!direct. More details on this will be coming shortly, once payment options are verified. In case anyone is going to start panicing: this does not mean osu! will no longer be free. All gameplay and editing options will never cost money, but a few bonuses such as in-game downloading will be available to those who contribute towards the ongoing costs of hosting this game.
