    Hi everyone,

    I could not find any information about this, so I'll ask here.

    The new client is 3.54 MB in size, while the previous one was 7.54 MB.

    I'm wondering how the devs made this possible. My assumption is that they rewrote the entire client from scratch (probably in C++), but I am hesitant to believe this because, from some anecdotal evidence, remaking the client is nearly impossible; many have tried and could not get past user authentication. My other guess is that the devs took out some superfluous code with a hex editor, but that seems like a stretch.

    Any ideas?

    I don't think they can rewrite the client as they wish. The v.83 client is just different from the v.62 one.
