We want to thank the community for being so patient with us while we worked on this update! This release has been codenamed "potato", but has no relation to evil, domineering potatoes that have doomed us all.
The biggest changes in this release are the overhaul to the command system (giving much better errors when syntax is incorrect, much better autocomplete, and making our code much simpler) and XGUI (a GUI interface written by our very own Stickly Man!).
Here's the changelogs:
v3.50 - *(05/13/11)*
* [ADD] Autocomplete to ulx playsound.
* [ADD] Hook, "ULXLoaded".
