Source Code: https://download.bzflag.org/bzflag/source/2.4.26/

This release mainly fixes a few client bugs:

• Audio pops should be fixed.
• Positional audio in observer mode now uses the camera direction.
• Fixed a regression that caused some textures to render skewed.
• Fixed the Machine Gun firing continuously when the mouse wheel is used to fire.

[WHAMMO!]

any hope of fixing machine bug within Mac OS version?

The mac version of 2.4.26 hasn't been released yet. Once it is, it would have that fix.

The macOS builds are posted. As usual, we are not yet signing and notarizing the builds, so you will need to right-click (or ctrl-click) on the application and select "Open" from the contextual menu in order to bypass Gatekeeper for the first launch.

For the nerds among us, both builds still ship with the following small patch to the included SDL 2.0.20 framework to correct an issue with switching from fullscreen mode to windowed mode (later versions of SDL are not fixed by this patch, but I hope to look into that later):
