|-
|1
|Joey
|Client
|Client references two different image folders. One of which does not exist. This, for some strange reason disallows the recognition of chits being clicked. <br><b>Fixed:</b><i>Changed the location of both to be consistent at PROJECT_ROOT/images</i>
|1030h 10/10/08
|1045h 10/10/08
|-
|2
|Dan
|Client/Server
|An exception is caught for "File games.txt" not existing, but then you log in and it sleeps.
|1830h 16/10/08
|
|-
|3
|Dan
|Server
|Connection refused when you start the client and server at the same time
|1830h 16/10/08
|
|-
|4
|Dan
|Client/Server
|An exception is caught after 9 - 10 seconds if you open the client and do not log in
|1830h 16/10/08
|
|-
|5
|Katherine
|Client
|Starting up two clients and logging in with the same username causes 3 versions of each game to show up under the 'new games' list for 1 client. Using the same username also causes other various crashes to occur.
|0120h 24/10/08
|
|-
|6
|Joey
|Client
|The client crashes when run without a server running when defaulting to localhost. However, when specifying the address of another host which doesn't exist, nothing happens and the client logs into a blank server.<br><b>Fixed: </b><i>Changed Network_ClientConnection.java and GameClient.java to check if the host is reachable before displaying login. If not reachable within 2 seconds, show a message to the user that there is no server.</i>
|0130h 24/10/08
|0200h 24/10/08
|-
|7
|Joey
|Client/Server
|When specifiying an address other than a loopback address i.e. localhost or 127.0.0.1, the client may login but there will be no games displayed.
|0220h 24/10/08
|
|-
|8
|Joey
|Server
|When running twice, an exception is thrown. Should shutdown gracefully and warn the operator that the ports are being used.<br><b>Fixed: </b><i>Simply printed out information in the catch block rather than print stack trace which would confuse the non-expert.</i>
|0325h 24/10/08
|0338h 24/10/08
|-
|9
|Joey
|Networking
|Specifying a name including message separators % or # result in crashes or odd behavior such as the logging in without any games displayed, or client crashing when chatting.
|1300h 24/10/08
|
|-
|10
|Joey
|Client/Networking
|Including newline characters \n at the end of a sentence when chatting results in the client crashing, throwing an ArrayIndexOutOfBounds exception.
|1320h 24/10/08
|
|}

===Limitations===
A limitation of game design is that the engine does not support any games other than those which have chits and a limited number of possible moves for each chit, and where the chit may only move position. -joey

A documented bug in the client results in 450x500 being the only possible values for the game screen. -joey

===Usability Issues===
Slightly confusing naming system of engine components. -Katherine

Eg:
*clientElmo.Client
*clientElmo.GameClient
*elmo.Client
