** THIS IS A REQUIRED UPDATE **
* The Release *
Odamex 0.6 is finally here! After many months of testing, you can finally enjoy all of the new features of Odamex 0.6 on public servers. Rather than run down the huge list of changes in paragraph form here, here are links to the
abbreviated changelog,
complete changelog, and the actual
svn changelog. In addition to these change logs, there were a number of video previews of Odamex 0.6 which can be seen on
Odamex's Youtube Page.
Some of the obvious highlights of this release are the addition of slopes, an advanced voting system, a brand new netdemo format, aesthetic improvements, optimized mouse input, and numerous network enhancements. However, these are simply some of the most notable additions and only scratch some of the changes that have occured going into Odamex 0.6.
