Blizzard Entertainment has once again updated StarCraft, the company's popular sci-fi RTS. In addition to bug fixes Version 1.15 introduces recording of in-game chat for replays, and a new "/reply" command for quickly responding to whispers from other players.

Here is the list of changes in version 1.16:

Feature Changes:
- In-game chat is now saved in replays. Note: whispers are not saved.
