#1 11-29-2007

We are excited to announce that the release of the upcoming version of SourceForts has been pushed forward due to popular demand. We can safely say that the update is 100% complete, and as bug free as the 1.9.x series will ever be. However, there have been delays in the compilation of linux server builds, which has forced us to withhold the release until they can be obtained. We plan to release the client build as soon as we are assured there will be servers on which to play, which is expected to occur no later than Saturday, 1st December, 20GMT . Keep in mind that we will not hesitate to release earlier should the oppurtunity arise (which is quite likely), so check this space for updates!

Edit:
Also, here's the changelog.

Note: Some minor items may be missing due to a certain ex-coders inability to provide a changelog for about 15 revs, and countless bug fixes (I literally mean something like 40) have been left off as they were caused by the port to sdk therefore not in 192.
