I meant to have this out yesterday, my apologies to anyone affected by the scoring being broken.

Note: The upcoming themes in question (I'm aware of) are Optical's 2013 update, Optics and SM Ultimate.

[PlayerStageStats] Restore SetScore and SetCurMaxScore Lua bindings. [shakesoda]

Thanks! I almost decided to update my lua scoring before this is happened. ^_^

Time to get the new updated SM5. I'm happy.

Am I the only one who feels that "portable.ini" is not working in this SM5 B1a?

It definitely works. Just tried it.

Yay! Beta 1a! :D

[sillybear]

But Beta is to will testing only.

Being BETA is not really a big deal. What matters most is the game core feature presents plus many updates not only for players but for themers too than ancient SM3.9 forks and 4. And besides, SM5 team is live doing updates.

yeah, and that's a problem with an unofficial theme and will have to be dealt with by the theme's author.

I downloaded the mac beta. I pulled the old app file out of my stepmania folder and replaced it only with the beta app file, then deleted it and put the old app file back and now all my records have been erased. Is there anyway to fix this? Again I didn't move or change out any other folder.
