GPL 1.2 and VROC?

Anyone got a clue as to when we'll see some 1.2 servers appearing? I will hold off installing until we get some. Cheers, Mark Reading, UK Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

They'd like to see an official announcement about GPL 1.2 from Papyrus. 2. They'd like support for GPL 1.2 in GPL Spy Boy. Hopefully an announcement from Papyrus is imminent. It seems unlikely that they would post the patch files on their public site unless they were planning to make them public. A GPL 1.2-capable version of GPL Spy Boy is undergoing private beta testing. Testing this week uncovered a couple of bugs, which are being worked on. We hope to have a version ready for release shortly. Note that the VROC applet, which displays the same races as GPL Spy Boy, has supported GPL 1.2 for some time. If you want to join or host GPL 1.2 races, you can do so through VROC. Simply go to: http://vroc.net Click on the GPL 1.1 race room. You can identify the type of server by the character displayed at the beginning of the line: * asterisk: GPL 1.2 + plus sign: GPL 1.1 BTW, I'll change the name of the room to GPL 1.2 as soon as the patch is official.
