We have had numerous reports of crashes with the vidnull > version of RC1 and have now tracked them down and hopefully fixed most or > all of them.

For this reason, and because we want to open up > development much more in future, we have begun moving to Launchpad to > support development. Launchapd is a service run by the company that makes > Ubuntu Linux to help software developers and communities work together to > improve the software and get answers to their support questions. So, if > you are having a problem with AudioQuake, please report the bug using > https://launchpad.net/audioquake > > (you can also use the "Blueprints" system there to register new feature > requests). In the near future we'll be adding other parts of the AGRIP > project, including the new Stats and Servers system. After the 0.3.0 > release, we'll get all of the code onto launchpad too, so that development > can be made truly open. At that point we'll be looking for people to sign > up and join the AGRIP Hackers team to help with bugs, feature suggestoins > and project development. > > As usual, you can download it from the DownloadPage. > > LINK: > http://www.agrip.org.uk/DownloadPage > > In order to bring RC2 quickly to the most people possible I have not yet > built PowerPC versions, but intend to for the final 0.3.0 release at the > very least. > > UPDATE: There are a number of caveats with this release that we should > probably make clear. They are as follows. > > You need to register your chosen player name and password at > http://stats.agrip.org.uk/reg/new/ > > You then need to set the "name" and "password" variables in the console, > with the "name" and "password" commands before connecting. We are aware > that the password command conflicts with that used for non-MAUTH games > that happen to have passwords and will fix this in the next release. > > The connect command requires you to specify the master server you want to > use; the only one is agrip.org.uk. You will need to type something like > "connect agrip.org.uk tbrn.net" when all game servers have been upgraded. > > Some areas of the Stats and Servers web page will be activated when the > data has been expunged, following this trial. The player names list had > been abused by people before we developed MAUTH - they had used some > pretty disgusting player names on purpose - so this will help us stop > those people, as well as protect your identity to a large extent. > > Currently no feedback is supplied if you get the name and password wrong - > we're going to fix that in the next release too. > > Currently there is no way to set your name and password via the launcher, > but in the next release we'll make this not only possible but happen > automatically so you don't forget. > > Please bear with us and try to help us make the transition to MAUTH.
