November 24 Release Notes

Additions
 * A third person spectator mode has been added. When connecting to a server, you will be asked whether you'd like to spectate or play. In spectate mode, you will initially start in the free roam camera mode we used to have. By pressing the left or right mouse button, you will toggle to a 3rd person camera allowing to rotate around the target player. Pressing the left or right mouse buttons will cycle through the next or previous player. To return back to free roam mode, press the Space bar. Note that server admins now have an additional option to limit spectator players to only see players of their team (for Demolition, Extermination and Freeze Tag game modes).
 * Hacker item, the Energy Pad, has been added. Once placed on the ground, step on it and you'll instantly regain Energy.
 * An objectives panel has been added, explaining the particular game mode set on the server. It updates in real-time and also offers stats (example: frozen teammates/enemies on Freeze Tag) depending on the game mode. This panel may be disabled by unchecking the Show Objectives Panel checkbox under the Graphics tab in the Settings panel.
 * An infinite weapon scrolling option has been added under the Mouse tab in the Settings panel. When enabled, scrolling down with your mouse will cycle through all weapons from top to bottom and start over from the top.
 * A zoom toggle option has been added under the Mouse tab in the Settings panel. You no longer have to hold the right mouse key to remain zoomed if you have this option enabled.
 * Horizontal and vertical sensitivity multipliers have been added under the Mouse tab in the Settings panel. (If you set an identical parameter on both axis you will have a mouse movement similar to CS for example).
 * Two alpha hour countdowns have been added to the welcome screen. No matter what time zone you live in, you’ll now know how many minutes are left before an alpha hour playtest begins.
 * Weapon inspect animations have been added for the Coxi, Ammo Box, and Explosives Box items. Most items now have an animation. Various animations have also been improved.
