We're working on v3.0b, and it should be out this weekend. There are quite a few great new changes, including one big new feature that people have been asking for forever.
There will be the usual bug fixes and balance changes as well, and probably a new map in addition. So, set some time aside this weekend to play!
As usual, the patch will be released via this mailing list. Stay tuned...

Hrm... my guess for the juicy thing is first person view flipping for wall climbing skulks... it's something people have been asking for, for quite a long time. That's my theory anyhow.

see that in the changelog? that effectively allows you to align your camera to the walls.

Most importantly I can super-quickly enable/disable popups, java, javascript, plugins, cookies, etc. "You're an idiot" did nothing to me.
I think the biggest piece of evidence that it is a kickass program is that even though I took the cheapskate route and use it with banner ads---it's so damn good that I've never even considered trying to find a crack or a keygen.
