We’ve got an awesome update for you this week as we added transparency support! That character cutout you couldn’t make before? Well, now you can! You can now privately message people in game and you can also sort your Workshop and Save files which will make finding mods and saves much easier.
As [url=http://berserk-games.com/51915-tabletop-simulator-leaves-early-access-on-june-5-2015]announced earlier this week[/url], Tabletop Simulator will be leaving Early Access on June 5th and with our launch, this will also bring in DLC, starting with [url=http://www.superfightgame.com/]Superfight[/url].
Thanks for all your suggestions in our [url=http://www.reddit.com/r/tabletopsimulator/comments/363j8k/feature_improvement_requests_upvote_for_your]Reddit thread[/url] so far. Feel free to keep them coming!

[h1][b]Whisper and New Chat Commands Added:[/b][/h1][list]
[*] You now have the ability to whisper people using chat command '/ ' (ex. /red Hello World!).
[*] We decided to use color instead of names due to some people having alt codes or strange characters in their names.
[*] Added in '/resetallsaved' chat command which reset all settings (General, Controls, UI, etc).
[*] If you prefer to use chat commands you can now use '/team ' to chat with your team.
[*] Clients can now also use '/help' to see available chat commands like the host.[/list]

[h1][b]PNG & Transparency Supported:[/b][/h1][list]

[*] Cutout transparency is supported meaning no semi-transparency (100% or 0% transparency).

[h1][b]Workshop and Save UI Improvements:[/b][/h1][list]
[*] You can now sort your workshop or save files using the drop down menu (Number, Name, Date, etc.).
