Quake3 Point Release News

id programmer Robert Duffy updated his .plan file with the news that a new Quake3 point release is being released next week. Here's what they have been working on

This one has taken some time but it addresses quite a few things. Graeme has been very busy with the network stuff and net traffic is now being compressed at about 4:1, this should make a huge difference for modem players. There should be a substantial FPS boost for most people and there are a bunch of fixes/tweaks in place. This release will also contain an auto update system so you can check for new updates at any time. If you get the beta, the final will be offered via the auto update. This addresses all of the cheats and hacks we know about as well. That is an ongoing battle. This point release will utilize a different protocol as a result of the new network compression.

There is info about the release of UI files as well so read the entire update for all of it.
