+{title:ManaPlus - new official Client}
+{date:2013-01-31}
+
+ManaPlus Support
+
+We have decided to support ManaPlus as an
+official client alongside Mana. In fact, since
+there will likely be no more releases of the
+Mana client that supports TMWA (this server),
+there will inevitably be a time when ManaPlus
+becomes the only supported client.
+
+Mana 0.6.1 will continue to receive some
+support until October 2013. We have no plans
+to specifically break compatibility with Mana,
+but new features may not be available.
+
+For older clients (whether Mana or ManaPlus),
+there will be different levels of attempted
+support, depending on exactly how old it is:
+
+* Less than 6 months old: will not crash or
+    behave erratically.
+* Less than 2 months old: will behave
+    expectedly, but might not support all features.
+* Last 2 releases: will do everything,
+    correctly, on the main server.
+* Last release, or even git, may be required
+    on the test server.
+
+Of course, if a particular client release is
+buggy, we may not be able to support it at all.
+
+For more details, see {link:http://forums.themanaworld.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=16867}.

+ManaPlus is available at {link:http://manaplus.evolonline.org/}
