Nvm... It appears as though 1.2b is still the latest release, and there are no new announcements in the homepage. Maybe it waits 3 hours since you are on the East Coast and I am on the West Coast?

[Heimdal]

I've fixed three bugs since last night and uploaded the fixed version. Please re-download if you got it last night...sorry about that:
1. Claiming all maps are protected
2. Sound importer crashing (misplaced sounds.lst file)
3. Randomized tiles sometimes resulting in null

If you don't see the new version, try clicking the Refresh button.

Next version you release you should have a release party on bnet . If I were 21 I'd provide the booze... well hell I'll still provide the booze since I have friends that are!

No seriously. Get a bnet channel, get together a few crazy SF maps like Drunken's whacko rave thingie and that one demo level with all the funky frankensteined doodads and terrain, and we'll have a blast! Or something.

[eX-reaver]
