The full notes for this version are its short notes: that was all that was written then.
1.9.0's release build failed on a flaky test, so this release also includes all of 1.9.0 (see its notes): the new scoreboard score, outline colours, sniper collateral, the tag colours and more.
Ranked instagib is now a free for all
- The instagib ladder plays FFA with a 5 minute limit; everyone on the server is rated by placement.
- Vanilla and laser vampire stay 1v1.
Expert bots
- Much better aim: faster reactions, tighter tracking, fewer lapses. They hit about 40% of rifle shots on a strafing target, up from 24%.
- They grapple around far more: up smaller ledges, across shorter gaps, and they retry twice as often.
Fixes
- The bot aim test strafed its target by the wall clock while the game ran sped up, so on a busy build machine it gave different results each run and blocked 1.9.0's release. It now strafes by game time.
