From cubeengine.com: NEWS: 23 dec 2003 release out! new features include: demo recording/playback, new arena multiplayer modes, jumppads, improved mapmodel physics and configurability (bridges), mp3/ogg playback and a completely new cube soundtrack, many cool new maps and misc features (read history). It would be nice to have this version in portage.
man, that old ebuild was ugly as hell the new one is in portage and should be a lot slicker heh
