   - The emote menu can be opened by clicking on your character. 
   -  Clicking on one of its element will close the menu and play an emote above your character. 
   -  This emote can be seen by other players.
+- Player names were improved. (@Kharhamel)
+  - We now create a GameObject.Text instead of GameObject.BitmapText
+  - now use the 'Press Start 2P' font family and added an outline
+  - As a result, we can now allow non-standard letters like french accents or chinese characters!
+
 - Mobile support has been improved
   - WorkAdventure automatically sets the zoom level based on the viewport size to ensure a sensible size of the map is visible, whatever the viewport used
   - Mouse wheel support to zoom in / out
