EHM Editor v0.4.2 Released
Version 0.4.2 of the Eastside Hockey Manager Editor is now available for download. This is one of the bigger releases over the past 12 months and includes a number of fixes and tweaks requested by users. Notably it lays down the groundwork in readiness for EHM v1.5 which will mean the Editor should be fully compatible with v1.5 databases soon after the game patch release (the ETA for which remains to be confirmed).

- Added UTF-8 support when importing (but not exporting) CSV spreadsheets where a byte order mark (BOM) is present
