New sauerbraten packages.

Will someone tell me what's up with the new sauerbraten packages? Were they rebuilt for compatibility? The date on them has progressed ... did eihrul really make a "new" Justice Edition with changes on 7-28? I'd really like to know.

Thanks.

Re: New sauerbraten packages.

Thanks for the reply, but that's for the new release, which used to be in the repos as 7/19. Now it says 7/28. It's not a rebuild in the traditional format, it's labeled like a new version, also called Justice Edition. So I was asking what the deal was there.
