Mr. Lugosi has provided us with the changelog that came with the Linux RC1 CS 1.4 dedicated server. The date indicates that CS 1.4 (nope, the date is not just the Linux version, that'll come the night before) is set to be released this Wednesday.
Nope, de_comrade isn't listed. Cliffe, sadly, hasn't told us if the map made it in or not. It won't be in the retail update for sure, thus explaining it not being included in the Steam BETA, but I doubt that comrade will get into the mod release, either. I don't think the map was really given a fair shot due to circumstance and it certainly deserves to get in to CS, espically compared to the incredibly unpopular CS 1.3 maps. It might get in, but it probably won't. It might make it in CS 1.5.. I won't be holding my breath.
A lot of the changes sound cool, so I'm looking forward to the update.
