Code Changes:
FreezeTag Specific
FreezeTag is now its own game type. (g_gametype 9)
Hud updates to display players remaining
Scoreboard updates to display players remaining
Frozen animation improvements.
Ice gibs when players are thawed
Fix for thaw stealing. Players with a lower client number were able to steal thaws from teammates
Thaw time on a frozen player now slowly increases back to 3 seconds rather than snap back to 3 seconds when leaving the radius of the frozen player. This allow you to push a team mate around with the gauntlet and still eventually thaw them.
Other Code Changes:
Added g_spawnPowerups cvar to allow us to toggle the presence of power-ups in a server instance.
Fix for Com_sprint running out of buffer space
Team locator icons are now visible regardless of the PVS. (i.e. visibility is ignored for teammates)
Flight fuel reduced from 32secs to 16secs.
Map 'author' support added to display level design credit for jointly owned community map additions.
Something secret for testing next week (a little public reminder for myself).
Reduced the blood/gore in many/most player model skins and weapons.
Removed statues depicting decapitation (replaced with alternative statues).
Removed vulgar and suggestive botchat.
Removed the slash/grrl skin option.
Website Changes:
Added Standard/Premium/Pro user site functionality, including the ability to purchase account subscriptions or redeem tokens for subscription.
Most of the site has been revamped or retouched. All features are supposed to be fully functional so please report any and all discovered issues. Be sure to check out the Account Settings page and test ALL of the available options.
Recent code/game changes:
Added FreezeTag
New auto-complete code, including the ability to autocomplete map names during console callvotes.
We now by default force enemy models - cg_forceEnemyModel now defaults to "keel/bright".
Added 'spec pu'.
Added aspect ratio correct crosshairs - crosshairs are no longer squished on widescreen.
Minimum respawn delay lowered from 2100ms to 2000ms.
Removed the biker/cadaver skin option.
Removed the few remaining blood/gore decals (lostworld, beyondreality, campgrounds, forgottenplace, grimdungeons, hellsgate).
Battlesuit balance adjustment, no longer prevents splash damage (all damage including splash is still reduced by 75%; you still take no damage from lava; still take no damage from acid/slime; still cannot drown...).
Known Issues
Limited HUD options
Missing tim_pump.wav sound (trigged by the GUI menu).
Map Changes
We would appreciate it if you heavily tested and provided feedback for the 27 maps listed below. We hope you take the time to play all of them and then give an additional amount of testing to our high priority 'newly designed' maps. You will find that some of these maps are in early testing. During the testing phases maps will move from Blockout, to Alpha, to Beta and then Release Candidate. Please reference the map's Focus Project thread to determine what state the map currently is in, what needs to be tested and what feedback we are currently interested in.

================================================
In addition to new content, we have pushed new updated versions of all of our existing map content. Some of these changes were made nearly a year ago but never released to the public. Many maps have had slight gameplay adjustments made due to popular demand, while others just have small bug fixes and new lighting. All of the maps now have True Vertexlighting and all of them maps except Bloodrun and our Training maps now have dirt map lighting. Please give these maps a run through. We are interested in any outstanding issues that need to be addressed, both bugfixes and gameplay improvements.
