• We have added CLIRR plugin to Jenkins showing API changes between versions, e.g. example report.

• Planning4J (http://code.google.com/p/planning4j/) was updated and tested for both Windows and Linux environments. It now supports several planners including IPC planners (most of them under Linux) and ANA* - a fast planner for relaxed domains. See http://code.google.com/p/planning4j/wiki/SupportedPlanners for more info.
• We have created a tool called T3D generator that allows for easy procedural creation of maps for Unreal - it is primarily targeted at UDK. See http://pogamut.cuni.cz/pogamut-devel/doku.php?id=subprojects:t3dgenerator for more details.
• It turns out it is possible to run UDK server on Linux, thus you can run experiments on Linux machines. However it is still quite cumbersome - see http://pogamut.cuni.cz/pogamut-devel/doku.php?id=guidelines:udk_on_linux
• We are working on GameBots for Unreal Tournament 3, checkout latest version in Pogamut SVN
• Checkout new Pogamut Games Site containing game-like projects based on Pogamut platform (StoryFactory, SteeringGame, SimDate3D).
