Not really Odamex news per se, we just couldn't let this pass by without mentioning it to you guys.
Internet Doom Explorer, our top recommended third party launcher of choice, has been
updated to version 4.22. Aside from the usual bug fixing and improvements, he's incorporated all the latest changes to the odamex protocol and feature set, so when 0.4 is released you'll be able to use it with Odamex right away.
