This release had a few additional features and some fixes.

• World weapon API has been revamped, including new bz_eServerShotFiredEvent and bz_eAllowServerShotFiredEvent events.
• New showMotto permission to control which players are allowed to set a motto.
• Custom BZDB variables defined by plugins no longer require using -setforced to set them from configuration file.
• The number pad keys are now treated uniquely for key mapping with SDL2.
• Antialiasing now works when starting the client windowed.

The full Changelog is also available.

Enjoy!

The macOS binary was recompiled with an older Xcode version and re-posted. Nothing else was changed, but we discovered that building with the latest Xcode tools causes some issues with the program, such as the inability to iconify with F4 on macOS 10.13 High Sierra.

If you are not running macOS High Sierra then you do not need to re-download the game, but if you are then you may want to do so to avoid running into that problem.

I also noticed I had messed up the source archives slightly, so I have re-posted those. The only difference was that the originals had outdated title.png/title.psd and BZFlag.nsi (the Windows NSIS installer script) files showing version 2.4.13.
