After many successful rounds of private and public beta testing, the VC:MP Development Team is proud to announce the release of the
0.4 Public Beta Server.
This is not representative of a final product; however, by releasing the server to the public, we can collect a significant amount of information regarding bugs and issues that may exist in the server or client. Allowing the community to do whatever they please with the server would be much more productive than simply producing public beta scripts and testing them, as we cannot account for every possible scenario a scripter may want to attempt in 0.4.
Moreover, by releasing the server for scripters to test and develop on, the transition from R2 to 0.4 will be seamless and much smoother, as server owners will more likely be prepared to adopt a completely new version of VC:MP.
This public server release also brings a
client update with the following changes:
Client — 12 July 2014- Fixed several potential crashes caused by misuse of freed memory
- Miscellaneous safety checks to avoid client crashes
- Minor improvements to performance through small code modifications
- Updated compiler and compiler settings to improve performance
