- spectate mode (first person or free camera)
- wide-screen support

- removed limit of packfiles
- improved Scoreboard with Kills/Deaths column
- information about killer's weapon in chat
- option to disable level ambient sounds

- improved game performance
- votes support for dedicated servers
- hit-sounds support for dedicated servers
- other usability and stability fixes

Major changes in version 1.6.0:

- a lot of improvements in the level editor which makes it a good replacement for REDPF
- better support for DDS textures
