Over the past couple of days and weeks, we have slowly installed HWBOT versions v5.5.0, v5.6.0 and v5.7.0 on the production server. The three revision updates are centered around the implementation of the new Pro OC V2 (check out the forums for more information), preparing the site for translated content in Chinese and whole bunch of bugfixes and "spikes". A spike is development time allocated to research and discussion about the implementation of new features, without being certain if they will ever be implemented. For example, over the past one and a half month we have been looking into the idea of hosting cross-platform benchmark application and the ability to use smartphone overclocking as a way to also promote the desktop overclocking we all so dearly love.

In the coming development sprint Dennis will mainly focus on finishing a couple of tasks that were still in progress, before heading off on a short well-deserved one week vacation!

Great work, Frederik and Dennis!
