The 1.0 release: online matches now run on the server, and the game has its

first progression beyond maxed stats.

Matches are simulated on the server - ball, bots, rules and score - so nobody has a host's zero-ping edge and a match survives a player leaving (a bot takes their seat).
The server moved to Ohio, Render's most central US region: everyone in the US is within about 50 ms.
Snapshots and body state travel as compact binary frames at 60 a second; stale frames are dropped rather than queued.
The ping readout is measured by the server and shown at all times - in the menu bar ("34 ms · Ohio") and in the game.
Skipping a replay is a room vote: the match holds until everyone is done, and play resumes for all at once. Points with no rally (a serve fault) skip the replay.
The opponent's serve toss is visible online.
Whoever serves is placed straight on their serving spot.

Prestige: max every stat, start the climb again, and every stat's effect is permanently 1% stronger per prestige level. Takeovers stay unlocked. A gold P-badge shows your level everywhere your name does.
Leaderboard in the menu: the top players by prestige, then overall rating.
Rebindable controls (keys or mouse buttons), with a left- or right-handed setting.
A mouse-look camera: the cursor locks to the centre and the mouse turns the view.
The dive is a third of its old distance; a dive dig counts as a touch.

Admin page: live stats fixed, invite counts, a per-day line graph with a stat picker, sortable table with definitions, every player's coin balance, and gifting coins.
Data export/import for moves and backups.
Google AdSense: two units in the lobby only, never over a match.

The browser game before 1.0: Mii-style characters in a school gym, four art

styles, casual 2v2/3v3 online with a player-hosted match, training drills,

MyPlayer stats and takeovers, accounts and the owner's admin page. See the

git history for the detail.
