Q3A Point Release Beta -- 3:59 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

OK, folks, I don't know what to think about this one. I know it is legit, but I don't know if it is worth downloading or not. Here's the skinny from PlanetQuake's Quake III page:

We've decided to make the point release beta, but public, because there's nothing like a few million beta testers! When running servers using this release we highly suggest running them as non-pure servers so that older clients can connect to them without problems. Please read the enclosed FAQ for a detailed list of which bugs and UI features we've addressed with this point release. If all goes well we'll go with a final version of the point release very soon. The Macintosh and Linux builds of the point release BETA will be out hopefully today as well.

I dunno. Something about a point release beta just makes me itchy. If you feel like trying it, here are some mirrors: Shugashack, PlanetQuake, Oxygen Tank, and Blue's News. The file is just over a meg.

Update: Being the sucker that I am, I am downloading the betatestdemopatch. It is coming from the Shack quite speedily actually. I'll post the list of changes once it is here. Stay tuned.

Update #2: Here is the list of the additions and fixes in the point release beta. Please note that there are many, many typos in that list. Don't email me for an explanation. I don't know either. :)
