B43 is right around the corner and it brings a whole slew of niceness!

One of them being a new format for online charsheets, you can see a preview here:
http://te4.org/characters/3496/tome/231f003b-5a74-48b1-87b9-d6ee54f0dd92

This is (should) both better looking and a better system internally. Previously charsheets were saved as a json dump witth some bis of html formating embeded, which makes them very hard to parse by third party and makes it uneasy to change the display.
B43 introduces a new sysem which outputs json dumps of a much better parsability. I will probably later on open public APIs on e4.org to allow searching the vault and retrieving charsheets :)

As the title says :)

If you downloaded b42 before this post, please redownload it, it has a few bugfixes you might like :)

Sorry about the mess!
