[glob2-announce] New Release: Beta 1 has been released

[Kieran P]

I'm happy to announce the release of Beta 1. Its been months of work, lots of bugs to fix, and hours of testing, but Beta 1 is now stable enough to be released to the public.

The most notable changes for this release are the major rewrites to the Core and YOG engines that took place(big thanks to Bradley for all his hard work), increasing stability and speed, the switch from automake to scons, and the license change from GPL v2 to GPL v3.

A full change log is available at http://globulation2.org/wiki/Changes#Changes_in_0.9.1_.28released_20070901.29

Please continue to show your support by download Globulation 2 (

http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?func=additem&group=glob2).

As always, we'd like to thank everyone that contributed to the release. Beta 2 is already in development, with an exciting particle engine and much improved Nicowar on their way, along with the regular bug fixes.

So have fun playing. Beta 1 truly is a big step up for the project/game.
