That is almost a nice sounding acronym too - BSS. Anyways, I thought I'd take the time to clear this up a bit since the changelog messages won't mean much to the majority of you.
As you already know, the current method of beatmap submission is cumbersome. Updating the osu files requires a full reupload of the osz file and manual changes to the forum threads. Moderating is messy and beatmaps sometimes get left behind in the dark due to the sheer speed that you guys create new ones.
The new system I have been working on will be integrated into osu! itself. It will make the following possible:

The new system I have been working on will be integrated into osu! itself. It will make the following possible:
- File > Submit Beatmap from the osu! editor menu will automatically upload the osz and osu files.
- A forum post will automatically be created in "Beatmap Help" for WIPs, or "Completed Beatmaps". A template will be added to the top of the topic with details about the beatmap/song, and links to download both the osz file and each individual osu.
- A form will allow the user to add a customised message and change the automatically generated post subject.
- Updated osu files will be updated for already existing beatmaps, with the option of automatically updating the osz file without a reupload. Forum post/template will be updated and the user will have the option of bumping the thread to the top of the appropriate forum.
- All beatmaps that are submitted will be added to the Beatmap Listing database under the "Pending" category. Even if your beatmap is not ranked, you will now have the chance to see it included in the database, along with some basic stats.
- In the future, this will allow more integration with the song selection screen, including more accurate and streamlined automatic updates of beatmap files - even when they are not officially approved.
- This will solve the issue of uploads currently being insecure as anyone can overwrite the osz files without permissions. A ticketing system is in place to ensure this will not happen.

'cause i created a new beatmap and the problem is i can't submit. Well, i can but i can't sign in in the game and it keeps saying "connection fail" or probably because my computer is slow. i really need to update it or else it might end up in the graveyard! is there any other way?
