Megérkezett szokás szerint a legújabb Project CARS build

Ahogy minden pénteken, úgy most is megkaptuk a Slightly Mad Studiostól a szokásos Project CARS frissítésünket. Ezúttal már a 417-es számú buildnek örülhetnek a játékosok. Szokás szerint a launcher segítségével frissíthetitek a programot, amelynek legújabb változata a Junior felhasználók számára is elérhető.

* Fixed a mem leak from the title config module
* Minor updates to BFrameWork based on use by BAppSection Manager

* Renamed BProject/BProjectKernel funcs to keep consistent with new framework mehods

GUI:
* Changed track selection screens to allow both single screen, and double screen, layouts to work alongside each other
