Announcing the 0.4 Release Candidate

[Stormeus]

After many successful rounds of private and public beta testing, the VC:MP Development Team is proud to announce the release of the 0.4 Release Candidate.

This is more representative of a final product, and by releasing the server to the public we can collect a significant amount of information regarding bugs and issues that may exist in the server or client. Allowing the community to do whatever they please with the server would be much more productive than simply producing public beta scripts and testing them, as we cannot account for every possible scenario a scripter may want to attempt in 0.4.

Moreover, by releasing the server for scripters to test and develop on, the transition from R2 to 0.4 will be seamless and much smoother, as server owners will more likely be prepared to adopt a completely new version of VC:MP.


Notes on RC Release

Releasing the server as a near-final product for bughunting serves to help scripters become ready for the switch to a final 0.4 release and for bug finding purposes. While this does signal a closer approach to a final release, it is not, by any stretch of the imagination, a polished product we believe should be fully representative of our efforts. Once we feel 0.4 is ready for full release, we will make another announcement and spread the word.

Press T to chat, press TAB to open and close the console. Most servers will have a /register command that you can type into chat to do stuff. Try typing /help and /commands (or !help and !commands if that doesn't work) to see what other commands are available, as it varies depending on the server you're on.
