Finally, the 0.7.1 release is here! We received a lot of feedback from the release candidate and the 0.7 beta/0.7.0, so it took a while to fix and polish it all. With the game smoothed out and stable, the downloads were updated here and on teeworlds.com.
The following is an attempt to list the most important changes since 0.6. You can also check the detailed changelog.
General
- new gametypes: "last man standing" (LMS) and "last team standing" (LTS). survive by your own or as a team with limited weaponry
- 64 players support. official gametypes are still restricted to 16 players maximum but allow more spectators
- new skin system. build your own skins based on a variety of provided parts
- enhanced security. all communications require a handshake and use a token to counter spoofing and reflection attacks
- new maps: ctf8, dm3, lms1. Click to discover them!
Client
- animated background menu map: jungle, heavens (day/night themes, customisable in the map editor)
- new design for the menus: added start menus, reworked server browser, settings
- customisable gametype icons (browser). make your own!

Server
- broadcasts overhaul, optional colours support

Graphics
- sharper graphics all around (no more tileset_borderfix and dilate)
- refreshed the HUD, ninja cooldown, new mouse cursor

Keep in mind that, as with every major version, backwards compatibility is broken.
Merry Christeemas!
