Right now I'm in finals week. I expect a release out by the end of May. I'll 
post more about it to the list as development picks up to finalize the release.

If you want to help, the reason that a release hasn't happened yet is because 
we're moving to a new ENet back-end. This is the ENet branch of CVS, which will 
become the main development branch.

We currently don't have a Windows build environment, and we'd like to do a 
simultaneous release since we'll be breaking backwards compatibility.

Also, I believe that 1.1.13 actually has support for adding sounds, we just 
didn't document it. Correct me if I'm wrong Webb.

Another possible way to help get it out faster would be to implement a 
compatibility mode for 1.1.14 that will allow it to use the older protocol. This 
hasn't been focused on with development because, so far, people have expected 
that each new version would be incompatible with the previous. Moving to ENet is 
a way for us to prevent this in the future.

I would love any comments.
