Version 0.6
Fri Mar 04, 2011 7:32 pm by hivltg

On a tip, I dug into the warsow SDK to get the weapondefs. Not everything listed is new in 0.6 as I just compared 0.5 to 0.6. I guess it's an abridged 0.5->0.51->0.6 weapons changelog. I have starred the only thing I know was in 0.51 that has changed, if a mod cares to they can add a star where it's appropriate.
I only added the lines after "Weapons have been slightly balanced since 0.5" beginning with +, but I'm posting the whole changelog because it took me a little looking (in the press pack!). The spoiler is the changelogs from before 0.6 (everything from 0.42->0.5 to 0.072->0.1).
