                              The game can now post scores in (networked) message sub-boards as
                              a backup to using a JSON DB server in case the server can't be
                              contacted.
+2023-01-03 Eric Oulashin     Version 1.03 beta
+                             Started working on allowing Q&A files to have a section of JSON
+                             metadata, and also for its answers to possibly be a section of
+                             JSON containing multiple possible answers. JSON metadata in
+                             a QA file may have the following properties (all optional):
+                             category_name: The name of the category
+                             ARS: An ARS string that can restrict usage of the category
+                             "-- Answer metadata begin"/"-- Answer metadata end" sections
+                             need to have an "answers" property, which is an array of
+                             acceptable answers (as strings).  It can also optionally have an
+                             "answerFact" property, to specify an interesting fact about
+                             the answer.
+                             Fixed a bug in reading local scores and parsing them, which
+                             affected saving local scores and showing local scores.
