About this page
This page holds informations about engine changes that are relevant to game/map makers. The idea is to replace the "make your game ready for next release"-threads with a wiki page because unlike a forumpost, everybody can edit this. So if you find a thread (or mantis post etc) that explains a fix, please add it here. Back-link to forum. Use for bumping.
