Version 0.1.5 is finally there! New programs UI, unlimited programs, more functionality for Sniffers, more simulation speed options, new functions in CBot! Also, we've added autosaving in case your game crashes! (You know, it's still an alpha...) And some new keyboard shortcuts are here too! Also we're starting to improve graphics, so now you have Anisotropic Filtering, MipMapping and even new (still experimental) engines based on OpenGL 2.1 and OpenGL 3.3. We've also added experimental dynamic shadows!!
