5.8 Released!

[Edgar1898]

5.8 has been released! You can download the source or the compiled windows versions here:

https://sourceforge.net/project/show...group_id=88515

The only thing that I know of that doesnt work is AA's, I have been working on them but I wont have time to finish them until this weekend, so instead of holding up the release until then we decided to go ahead and release this version. Thanks to FatherNitwit and Wiz, I believe this is one of the best releases we have ever released. 5.9 should follow within the next couple of weeks with fixed AA's as well as some other goodies.

** EDIT **
New Map Files for every zone can be found at <a href='Http://www.rogean.com/maps/'>Http://www.rogean.com/maps/</a>
