Well, I've got a bunch of other stuff to still get ready for posting but I figured you guys would want to see this news right away. John Carmack has an extremely long .plan update that covers all sorts of stuff. The biggest news being a new Q3Test is scheduled for release in the middle of September which will feature all the latest fixes AND DM BOTS. Yup, we finally get to see the fabled bots for Quake3.

The current plan is that we will have another test release around the middle of next month. This version will be running game/cgame/ui with the virtual machine, and will include single player play against bots. No new maps.   I will be releasing the source for all the VM modules with it, and setting the executable up so that it will allow modified modules to be used.
