+Well I vote to be updated, why ? global game servers are currently
+running 0.6.0, and by personal experience over several years (omg how
+much time wasted on this) these FPS games need to have the same
+client/server version, in some cases different versions won't work at
+all (ie. Urban Terror 3.7 -> 4.0 -> 4.1, Warsow 0.5 -> 0.8 etc).
+
+I just did the test of running a 0.5.0 client on a 0.6.0 server and it
+works, but a big and annoying yellow announce floats across the screen
+remaining you that a new version is available. I also talked with one
+dev over IRC and he told me that there could be issues when running
+different client/server versions.
+
+So just to be on the safe side this new version should be pushed. If
+not then probably we will need to do it later as an update if any
+problems arise. I commit my self to test the new version, I know very
+well how this game works.
