- The vote menu and admin menu now animate on opening. This can be toggled with "sh_animateui".
- Number argument restrictions can now specify "Strict": true to block a player from using the command if they enter a number outside the allowed range instead of just clamping the number into range.
- All permissions are now cached, not just those for groups that inherit from other groups.
- All code relating to the old NS2Stats mod has been removed.

- Fixed commands with RestOfLine = true cutting off UTF8 strings early.
- Fixed server rates not always being set.
- Fixed client only plugins showing in the admin menu plugins list.
- Fixed afkkick and pingtracker not working correctly if reloaded mid-game.
- Fixed mapvote nominations claiming that nominating a recently played map succeeded when in fact it did not.
- Fixed setting the bandwidth limit too low by default in NS2: Combat (the default is 35KB/s compared to NS2's 25KB/s).

This is a rather large update in terms of code changes, hopefully I've not broken anything!

- Added the "sh_alltalkpregame" command, which allows you to toggle the "AllTalkPreGame" setting in game.

- Fixed map votes including the current map when "AllowExtend" is false.

- Added tooltips to most buttons in the admin menu to help explain what they do.

- Fixed a few minor script errors.

- You can now set a "chance" amount on maps for the map vote plugin. This value determines the relative chance a map will be chosen for a vote compared to the others. By default, all maps have an equal chance of 1.[github.com]

- The mapvote plugin now clamps the voting time so it can never be 0.

Initial release for NS2: Combat.

The mod is functionally identical to the mod in Natural Selection 2.

For ease of development, the mod uses the same files in both games. Certain plugins are incompatible and will refuse to load if you attempt to, such as the commbans, pregame and tournamentmode plugins.
