Changelog:

Welcome to the changelog of the latest version of Mani Admin Plug-in.

The new Mani Admin Plug-in features are:

Changes since the release of 1.2V:

• The plugin ignores the old clients files if a clients.txt file already exists.
• Broke out the sigs from the binaries to the gametypes.txt for easier updates.
• Added cvar mani_hlx_prefix to allow people to customize the prefix for the the HLStatsX ( now gameME ) output.

• Added support for using quotation marks on ma_browse and ma_hlx_browse.
• Updated/fixed gametypes.txt portion of DoD:S game.
• Fixed timed menus not responding correctly on OB version.
• Introduced cvar mani_hint_sounds to allow disabling of "swish" sounds when information is printed to the hint bubble in Orange Box games.

Previous changes from 1.2U to 1.2V:

• Fixed autocreate VDF from adding "_i486" on Windows version to reenable the plugin_load console installation method on Linux as well as on Windows servers
• Fixed the IP banning/unbanning crash issue
