Hot on the heels of version 0.7.5, version 0.8 of the launcher brings you the first functioning version of the chat lobby! This has been a long requested feature and I hope everyone finds it useful.

Additional changes include;

• Tweak how URLs are launched to try and fix issue with Chrome crashing (#50)
• Login dialog now focuses the nickname field when opened (#49)

Please report any issues on the Launcher Issues Tracker or here in the forums

Finally!
This should help people see who's online waiting for a game, and talk to eachother.

Interface bug: if you log in, log out, and log back in to the lobby, you get duplicated names.

Also more information about the launcher sidebar disappearing, it looks like it's due to the Community News only refreshing once you've selected a game, since it doesn't display when you first switch to the games tab. The refresh seems to cause the focus to switch to the hidden news section.
