After 7 years in beta, the game finally hits the 1.0 milestone!

The big new thing in Warsow 1.0 is the web-side profiles which shows stats, awards, friend lists, match history, and even demo download. There's also many other changes, including a huge amount of polish for those who are familiar with the older versions.




Here's a shorter version of the changelog:

- All maps have gone through considerable optimizations!

Community features:
- Global statistics together with match result saving, demo downloads and skillrating (completely optional!).
- Improved community features such as built-in IRC client, in-game news and friends lists.

Engine:
- The engine now better utilizes GPU capabilities to render animated skeletal models, allowing massive battles without FPS drops.
- Drasticly improved map loading speeds and performance.
- New "e-sports" gfx features such as r_drawflat to give your own personalized wall and floor colours in any map and possibility to disable all colours from lightmaps.
- New easier and more modern user interface which is fully customizable and scriptable with html/css/js - style syntax!
- Improved shoutcasting abilities like OGG stream support for Warsow TV, chase cameras and support for spectator-only hud.

It looks like a futuristic TF2 just from the video. Best thing about it though, NO HATS!

Looks real good guys, hope to try it soon.

Looks amazing and fun! Like a cross between TF2, TimeSplitters 2 and MNC.
Congrats on the 1.0 release :)
