Meaning, better graphics, physics etc, etc. within all of the top tables released.   What's the plan for this sort of thing in the future?  Perhaps a topic for another episode.  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
