This update fixes numerous bugs, most notably bugs related to BBCode that could freeze or lag clients and otherwise make the chat unavailable. Furthermore several bugs that caused certain valid BBCodes to no longer work have been fixed.
We also did a few changes on how updates work. From now on the updater will first update itself and then update the actual client, this has numerous advantages, such as us being able to deploy changes to the updater itself much more easily and faster.
We've also introduced an option to participate in Beta Channel updates, you can find it in Settings -> Options -> Application -> Update Channel.
So once you installed this beta version, you will be able to toggle the channel from within the Options Dialog.
IMPORTANT! Please note, that due to the changes involved, you will NOT be able to downgrade to the stable client anymore after installing this version!
DO NOT attempt to downgrade as it will most likely leave you with a broken installation as well as broken settings!
Please note that the Plugin SDK Headers and Examples are no longer included in the download and need to be downloaded separately from our downloads page should you need them. The existing pluginsdk folders and zip file will be deleted upon updating to this version. During the Beta Stage the PluginSDK can be found here
As usual the complete changelog can be found below:

- Fixed package installer. Some addons could not be uncompressed.
- Fixed quotation marks surrounding news ticker in updater on Linux and OS X
beta1
+ Overhauled update system. General goals are to reduce download size and allow
the updater to update itself before updating the client.
+ Two-step update ensures that the updater can update itself before updating
the TeamSpeak client. This way we can deploy changes to the updater more
quickly.
+ Updater copies itself to temp folder and then runs from there, thus we no
longer have issues with the updater not being able to update files because they
are currently used by the system.
+ Added binary patching to the updater for a faster and much smaller download
+ Compressed update files with lzma instead of gzip to further reduce size
+ Added update channel selection to Options dialog (Applications page) to make
it easier to switch to beta channel. No more update.ini editing required.
+ URLs will now be written into their own database named urls.db. The old urls.dat
will be converted and deleted. If the converter finds a broken url in the
urls.dat, the file will be discarded and a clean database will be created.
