2.3
- Increased duration of Repel to 2 seconds and cooldown to 6 seconds.
- Lots of balance changes to the specializations. A few are also replaced.
- Reduced the cooldown on the centre trap to 0.5 seconds.
- Reduced the size of the centre trap by 50% so it will be more optional.
- Removed the custom soundtrack.
- Removed the 'free repel buff' when respawning.
- New loading screen.
- A couple of irrelevant technical bugfixes.
- Once again fine-tuning the AI. They no longer try to attack dampening fields and their movement is a lot smoother.

2.1
- Introducing Specializations! At the start of each round you get 5 specialization points that you can spend to improve your spells. There is a total of 15 specializations. There is no limit to how many points you can put in a specialization. They reset each round so you get to choose different specializations. As usual the AI gets much emphasis and therefore even they will specialize (according to the selected difficulty level).
- There is now a new 'trap' mechanic in the centre which allows for more strategic positioning and gameplay variety. But beware; the AI:s are very knowledgeable about this new contraption (based on the difficulty of course), and they will turn it against you mercilessly before you even realize how the bloody thing works!
- Added a purple glow on players who respawn so you can notice when their free repel buff wears off (shader setting at high is required to see these glows. It is also in general recommended to have both 'Shader' and 'Effects' settings to at least medium when playing Hex'd. There are a lot of effects and it looks much better depending on those two settings).
- Increased the rematch vote duration to 15 seconds.
- Automatically sets your Hexer to control group 1 when spawning.

1.9
- Number of players allowed increased to 6.
- Map size increased to reflect the above change.
- Rematch is now determined by the opinion of the majority.
- Players now spawn at randomized locations throughout the map.
- Further improvements to the AI, including 4 difficulty settings.
- New loading screen, you won't have to stare at the ugly marine again. :o
- Improved lightning conditions.
- Improved terrain detail.

1.8
- New spell added! 'Orb of Binding'. When cast, it orbits around your character and if it comes in contact with an enemy unit it immobilizes him for 5 seconds.
- Major, major, major improvements to the AI. It now uses about 20 times less of your CPU (the old AI was terribly inefficient). It is now also roughly twice as good as the old version, you're in for a real challenge. ;)
- Lots of visual improvements in form of effects and lights. This is for the most part only noticable if you have your Shader settings to 'High' or better.
- The camera for player 4 is now offset a bit when spawning so he or she gets the same overview as everyone else.
- Changed the names of the units to 'Hexer', to fit the title a bit better. :p
- Decreased the size of the leaderboard so you can see more of the action.
