[Rsgames-beta] New Windows and Mac Clients Ready for Testing

[Victoria Francis]

Hey all!

I love the new client so far. I haven't had the opportunity to try
Scrabble yet because no other players were on when I came on, but I am
in Uno. I am also experiencing where F5 turns sounds off completely,
and F6 turns them back on. There is also music streaming which is
awesome! Sorry I mean that the other player isn't streaming anything
but there is music on. I asked her if she was streaming any music, but
obviously didn't tell her anything about beta. She said she isn't, so
I am assuming it's meant to stream music. I pressed F3 to turn that
down as normal, and F4 to turn it back up as normal. The music volume
does turn up and down incrementally.

Thanks for your hard work Mike and others!
Victoria
