+While previous release continue to work in most situations, this IITC update is highly recommended.
+After seeing recent changes to the stock intel map I've had a rethink about how IITC handles loading and

+the standard intel site in the number of, and batching, of requests.

+Fixes
 </p>
 <ul>
-<li>Added support for 'ornaments' - per-portal markers sent from the server, currently used for anomaly portals.</li>
-<li>Player tracker plugin - fix player tracker when faction COMM is viewed.</li>
-<li>Passcodes - fix displaying results from passcode redemption.</li>
-<li>Other minor tweaks and bugfixes.</li>
+<li>Game score loads correctly, rather than showing 'NaN'</li>
+<li>portals load correctly for large-scale views (US/Europe sized regions)</li>
+<li>draw-tools plugin: new feature in the DrawTools Opt dialog - 'Snap to portal'. This moves line/polygon/markers to the exact center of the closest portal. Best used when zoomed in close to the map, to ensure the right portal is the target.</li>
+<li>show-less-portals-zoomed-out: this plugin has been brought out of retirement, and updated to work in a more sensible way. It now works as if you were using the portal level filter on the standard site, rather than changing the types of requests. If the min portal was L4+ or L5+, it becomes L6+, L6+ becomes L7+, and L7+ becomes L8. I recommend trying this plugin when viewing large areas of the map - fewer portals loaded, but no changes in detail when it comes to links and fields. This plugin can be found in the 'Tweaks' category.</li>
