HLstatsX:CE Version 1.6.8 Released

Version 1.6.8 has been released.

As usual, download links are up at our Google Code page.

The 1.6.x series is still in maintenance-only mode as we slowly continue to work on our major 1.7.0 release. Therefore, version 1.6.8 is mostly bugfixes with some minor game support updates. There have also been updated version of the SuperLogs plugin for Team Fortress 2, CS:S and Insurgency recently posted over at the AM site. The full changelog for HLstatsX:CE 1.6.8 is available below.

As noted, the next slated release with new feature will be 1.7.0. We are still very early on with development of 1.7.0, however it is shaping to be the largest release we have pushed to date. If you are interested in helping us alpha, or later beta test, please sign up for our HLXCE Beta Testers Google group.

Note: We now offer .tar.gz in addition to our .zip files. The contents of the packages are identical, however the .tar.gz is suggested for Linux as it has the necessary permissions already set.
