Vendetta version 1.5.2

This is the first major release of our new game client, which has largely been rewritten over the last many months for greater extensibility. It's our plan to use this new version as a launchpad for a much more feature-rich and easy-to-use gameplay experience. Our project goal is called "Vendetta Online 2.0", and releasing this client into production is a major step towards that goal.
