[0.1.0] - 2016-09-03

This version is an internal Pre-Alpha version.

Added

• Add banclient command which will permanently ban a client from a server. The ban will persist across restarts.
• Add capabilities to save played games and replay them ("Theater").
• Add code for generating and sending minidumps for debugging purposes. This feature is meant to be used only during the Open Beta and will be removed once the code goes to stable release.
• Add commands that allow forwarding console and games log via UDP to other computers ("network logging").
• Add D3D9Ex.
• Add filters for server list.
• Add handling for iw4x:// URLs ("connect protocol"). For example, if IW4x is properly registered in Windows as URL handler for iw4x:// URLs you can type iw4x://ip:port. If possible, this will connect to the server in an already running IW4x client.
• Add lean support through new key bindings.
• Add native cursor as replacement for the sometimes laggy in-game cursor. This change can be reverted in the settings menu.
• Add news ticker.
• Add remote console ("RCon").

• Add Warfare2 text coloring.
• Add zone builder. For more information see the respective documentation.
• Implement a completely decentralized peering network.
• Implement playlists which can be used for flexible map and gametype rotation.
• Introduce security levels. This ensures that you need to "pay" with CPU power to verify your identity once before being able to join a server which reduces the interval at which people who get banned can circumvent server bans through using new identities. The default security level is 23.
• Move IW4x resource files into their own folder to prevent clogging up the main game directories.
• Reintroduce parties, now also available for dedicated servers ("lobby servers").

Changed

• Move logs to userraw folder.
• Replace main menu background music.
