Known issues & missing features

There is talk about a possible IPv6 evasion, but since no details are
available this isn't addressed yet. Due to the nature of the fixes
above, we decided to release anyway. Once we get details on the evasion,
we'll push out another update.

If you encounter issues, please let us know! As always, we are doing our
best to make you aware of continuing development and items within the
engine that are not yet complete or optimal.  With this in mind, please
notice the list we have included of known items we are working on.
