UFO2000 v0.7.1071 beta released

[Zombie]

It certainly has been a while since the last UFO2000 update was released (July 2006), but a new beta was released on the 23rd of February!

 

After a few months of unplanned inactivity, The UFO2000 development team is back with a major Beta release! We made sure to work on stuff that was either put aside for too long or really wanted by the community. A new Stable release is coming soon, as we started reviewing the documentation.

• Battlescape now supports 16 levels (Nachtwolf)
  
• LUA maps are now supported ! - For an example, see the bugtracker (Nachtwolf)
  
• Aliens are back with their inventory pictures (Nachtwolf)
  
• Improved mainmenu picture and ergonomics. (Nachtwolf)
  
• Replays have been fixed and work now. (Nachtwolf)
  
• Trajectory of thrown items now shows object obstruction (Judeau)
  
• Update to ufo2000 weapons (Sporb)
  
• Some minor bug fixes
  

You can download the version here. Could you imagine 16 levels in X-COM? Nice stuff guys, keep up the good work!
