Update: We have released a fourth and final release candidate (20140719) which fixes a few remaining issues. Thanks to everyone who reported problems and submitted fixes!

We have just released our first fourth July release candidate, playtest-20140709 playtest-20140719.

This short development cycle has been extremely productive, and includes some long-awaited features:

• The RA and TD game music can now be downloaded and installed from the in-game music player.
• Capturing enemy structures in RA and TD will now let you build units from their faction.
• The maximum tech level can be configured in the lobby options.
• Added an option to lock the mouse cursor inside the game window.

Other big changes include:

• Fixed a number of crashes that were introduced in the last release.
• Improved performance and memory usage.
• Added beacon images for the RA spy plane, paratroopers, and parabombs.
• Multiple players can now repair a building at an accelerated rate.
• Added engine support for diamond-shaped (“isometric”) terrain (an important milestone for our TS mod).

As usual, the full list of changes compared with the June release is available on our wiki.
