I recall there was a J2O poll for 4.0 but tons changed since then and as a JJ2+ developer myself, 5.0 being the first version I had major input in, I'm fairly interested in feedback. We certainly know what you dislike about the newest release because we can always count on hearing back about that, but positive opinions are useful for self-esteem, so I'd like to find out what your favorite features and bug fixes are as well. The poll allows multiple choices because I thought it may be hard to decide on only one, but preferably try to select less than half of the available options (up to 5) or your vote will not be very useful.

I'm alone on better frog/bird support. ;(

I will make scripted levels for them, to make it worth it. Not many can see the potential if there's no proper demonstration (JJMORPH in random levels does not count).

I like that it begins with a 5 now

I didn't notice that it is a multiple choices poll, I wanted to vote for bird and frog improvements as well.

To be honest, there's not a single change I don't like in this release, but I think Mutators and the network scripting stuff are just a cut above the rest.

The other scripting stuff is also great, but the network thing is the most important thing IMO.

The best thing for me in this version is the rabbit corps. Dream became true atlast.

The new command line I appreciated the most of all is jjUseLayer8Speeds. I've been yearning for that feature for ages!
