Soldat Patch
The long wait is finally over!
It's been over 2 years since the release of Soldat 1.5, and a lot has happened during that time.
At the end of last year a new development team was assigned to take over the development of Soldat.
Since then we've worked hard on fixing many bugs and adding many wanted features in Soldat.
At first we were going to release the new version as Soldat 1.5.1, but over the months we've
added so many new features and fixed so many bugs, that we decided it's appropriate to call
the new version 1.6 instead.
I'd like to thank all the people who made this version possible:
Gregor A. Cieslak (Shoozza)
Jacob Lindberg (Fryer)
Michal Marcinkowski (MM)
Nick Cooper (EnEsCe)
Reko Tiira (reko_t)
