Why did you remove ladder from yr client?

Update 4.00 removed ladder from yr client, why?

Now you can only view it through web browser.

Hi,

Update 4.0 and future updates will be more inline with the core client codebase that @rampastring maintains.
Unlike previous versions, it will no longer be a fork of the client (which means it will be more regularly updated with new features and bug-fixes).

Unfortunately the ladder page in the YR client was a very specific feature, and won't likely be added back to the client anytime soon. 
Other smaller features however, like displaying the online count in the lobby, will be added back soon.

The reason for this is that the fork of the client was hard to keep up to date. It would often become behind the core client codebase, which is bad, especially when there are sometimes critical bugfixes like most recently, not being able to connect to our servers.

I can only apologise to those that were using the feature and that have been disappointed by it's removal, but looking ahead, this is the best solution to a bigger problem that was occurring.

That's great news @Grant ! Finally.
