A maximum rank has been added to the settings, this is simply a cap on the maximum rank in respect to ship selection and balance. This does NOT prevent a player of higher rank from joining... nor does it keep a player from advancing to a higher rank. This has been added to keep some servers fun for new players or for those who want frigate battles only.
Servers are now self updating, they check every 30 minutes for new code / data updates. If any new updates are available a 5 minute warning is given to all connected clients. If no clients are connected, then the server restarts immediately.
The team selection exploit has been fixed, you can no longer join a team, go back and join a previously disabled team on a balanced server.
Rank and badge advacements are now correctly sent back to the client. This means, you no longer need to logoff and login to gain access to new ships.

To clarify, I think Faustus meant:
"This does notprevent a player of higher rank from joining", according to the structure of the sentence
