die ist legal, von ea in taiwan glaub ich, veröffentlicht, aber halt nicht final, einige änderungen sind dabei:
NETWORK/SERVER FIXES
-Optimization of server priorities to improve Net Performance
-Smoother object movements
-Remote Control Improvements
*Sending strings instead of ascii. If you start the remoteconsole
with -m it will not wait for the server to respond for every
key press.
-No Lag prediction if soldier is sitting in vehicle. This fixes
the problem of pilots getting shot out of the cockpit when in a
plane.

#Optimizations.
-Decreased Loading times for the game and map changes.

#AI optimization
-Bots are more concerned about close range enemies than long range

commands that the bots do not respond to.
#Menu
-Message window has been modified and is now separated into three
parts:
1) User generated chat (radio and chat text) - 4 rows
2) Game Info (capture control point etc.) - 2 rows
3) Kills (x killed y) - 3 rows
The number of lines for each message window can be changed as
long as it is at least 1 line and the total amount of lines
for all message windows do not exceed 12.
These chat windows can be manipulated through new console
commands (where 'int' is any number between 1 and 12)
chat.setChatMessageSize <int>
No. of lines for chat messages display
chat.seGameInfoMessageSize <int>
No. of lines for game info display
chat.setKillMessageSize <int>
No. of lines for kills info display
chat.setChatHistory <int> <int> <int>

-New Ignore input Commands
You can ignore radio messages, radio sounds and also ignore
specific players using the following commands:
chat.ignoreRadioText <0 or 1>

chat.ignoreRadioAudio <0 or 1>
If 1, No radio sounds are played.
chat.setIgnoreRadioAudioAndText <0 or 1>

chat.getIgnoreRadioAudioAndText
Prints status for these settings
chat.addToIgnoreList <user id>
Ignores a specific user's chatting.
chat.removeFromIgnoreList <user id>
Stop ignoring a specific user's chatting
chat.ignoreList
Returns the list of ignored players

-Implemented TK Forgive and Punishment system.
By default, players have to wait 1 extra spawn wave for every TK
they commit and when they have made 5 TK's that are not forgiven
they will get kicked from the server.
By default, the server is in punish mode.
There are 2 modes:
1) If you are killed by a teammate, you can forgive the killer.
The forgive options expires when you die again (auto-punish)
2) If you are killed by a teammate, you can punish the killer.
The punish options expires when you die again. (auto-forgive)
Admin Console Commands:
admin.spawnDelayPenaltyForTK <value>
The number of extra spawn waves applied
(1.0 = wait 1 spawn wave,
1.5 = wait 1.5 spawn wave.. and so on)
admin.banPlayerOnTKKick <0 or 1>
When set to 1, players are also banned when kicked for TK
admin.nrOrTKToKick <value>
The number of punished TK's before being kicked
admin.tkPunishMode <0 or 1>
0 : Punish Mode - Players are punished by default, until the
victim forgives the TK
1 : Forgive Mode - Players are forgiven by default, until the
victim punishes the TK
Client Console Commands:
game.TKPunish
Punish a TK (works only in Forgive Mode).
game.TKForgive
Forgive a TK (works only in Punish Mode).
-Vote announcement has new text color and icon.
-Possibility to tag specific players as a 'buddy' and make them more
visible in the minimap
Client Console Commands:
game.addPlayerToBuddyList <playerId>
Add a user with to the buddy list
game.removePlayerFromBuddyList <playerId>
Removes a user from the buddy list
game.buddyList
Prints a list of your current buddies.
#Rendering optimization
-You can disable tri-linear filtering by adding the line
"renderer.useTrilinearFiltering 0" to your
Settings/VideoDefault.con
-SiS Xabre support
-Stripping and vertex-cache optimizing terrain patches.
Increases performance for vertex cache enabled T&L cards that are
vertex transform bound in BF. I.e. it reduces slowdown somewhat
when lots of objects are displayed on screen.
-Optimization of the font writer, decreasing memory usage.
-Possibility to add lightmaps on ships and boats which can highly
increase the visual effect.
