Robert Duffy updated his .plan with news of the beta point release for Q3A:

The point release is now available on our ftp site. It is marked as a beta as there are a lot of functionality changes and we have a finite number of machines and scenarios we can test with. The included readme contains a lot of information, please review it. The release is available for all three latforms, Win32, Macintosh, and Linux.

If you encounter problems or bugs, please e-mail them to me at "raduffy@idsoftware.com"

Here's a list of the fixes:

• fixed splash damage trading armor for health bug
• fixed hang at gamestate/snapshot when server restarts during long map load
• fixed auto-download time remaining bug
• fixed callvote exploit
• fixed no longer take falling damage when wearing the powersuit
• fixed no longer able to do damage with the gauntlet while in chat/console mode
• fixed curve lod's are more correctly represented in certain cases
• fixed win32 executable will recognize a Linux Q3A cd
• fixed dll's load from fs_game path
• added min/max pings to server settings
• added ping information to server browser
• added mod ui
• added auto-downloading

• added cl_paks only sent to pure servers
• added make sure file system restarts if a pk3 was auto-downloaded

A.T. Hun comments: They fixed the Q3DM9 "walk into the curve by the railgun bug". I'm pretty geeked about that, since that is my favorite map. But that's also why the patch is so big--brand spanking new copy of q3dm9.bsp and .aas.
