I think you need to get the latest trunk version of the game from svn.

I am not sure it is present in 2.0.8.

I would just like to read a short list of the most imporant added features. Kamaze replied with what i think is the changelog; which i have already looked into and when i scrolled down and saw the size of this baby i blinked my eyes and closed the browser.

We happily await you to write the feature announcement for 2.1, flip101. Thanks for volunteering.

Hi

When will 2.1 be released?

Can you implant to manually set teams and players on a map ?

[DevUrandom]

Target was christmas, but we can't hold that, imo. We'll do it in Q1 2008.

Are these the features up to version 2.08 or for 2.1?

Will there be a prerelease (Trunkversion) for 2.1?
