You know for a hotfix this is taking one hell of a long time to release. I can understand wanting to make a well polished release, but a hotfix really isn't supposed to be anything fancy and there were only two problems that plagued 2.5.2 gameplay wise.
I have left this website with the rest of the GPL Nexuiz community. You can find us at Xonotic.org

Sorry but thats bullshit. Both engine and gamecode are on svn so going back to a "stable version" is easy enough. The issue here is noone cares enough atm.
Lies, and now with FruitieX committing CA it's potentially even worse. -- But well, yes, no one cares that we SHOULD be releasing a hotfix -- not an entirely new version.
You're right, I don't care about postponing my commits, making managing all the changes hell to manage when the release should have been out ages ago. Just don't merge the stuff that's new and untested into the next release, which should have been rushed out asap anyway. It was supposed to be a HOTFIX, dammit.

The problem is that there is no single stable revision of DarkPlaces, and that we have no infrastructure allowing to cherry pick commits from DP and I currently see no good way to create one.
Basically, I _could_ make my own svn for that somewhere, but then I will be forced to maintain that forever as nobody would ever volunteer for it, and I really don't want that. So I'd rather wait for a stable DP revision. But, we are also looking into git to do such cherry-picking in a much more reliable manner (because the SVN way quite often breaks).
The other problem is that I am the only person who can make a release, but I am too stuffed with my job. So I certainly won't be able to fix all the problems current DP may have, or test whether it does not have them.

1. Open Notepad
2. Paste: ÿþMSMSMS
3. Save
4. Open the file in Notepad again
You can vary the number of "MS", so you can clearly see it's MS which is causing it.

I see, there is no exciting new features. But that's OK. I always trust nexuiz dev team.
