Version 1.17 of metamod has been released.

Notable changes in this version are listed below. See also the release notes for more explanation, or the full changelog for more details.

• Added support for recently added routines in the HL Engine (SequenceGet, etc).
• Removed mod recognition and entities for Master-Sword v1.3, at the request of the Mod's authors.
• Added mod recognition and entities for HL-Rally vBeta 1.0, Kanonball v1.01, Over Ground vBeta 1.0, Project Timeless vBeta 1.0, Underworld Bloodline v2.0.
• Additional entities for The Battle Grounds v1.2.1, Firearms v2.8.
• Additional entities "env_rain" and "env_snow" used on some CS maps.
• Added "metamod_version" cvar that can be queried from game browser clients.
• Added "meta" client command similar to the console command.
• Introduced basic config file to provide more reliable and more flexible options passing, in addition to the current +localinfo method.
• Added "meta require <plugin>" console command, to exit the server if the specified plugin is not found loaded and running. Intended for use in server.cfg or metaexec.cfg. Suggested by Florian Zschocke.
• Added GINFO_REALDLL_FULLPATH for mutil GetGameInfo, to return the (supposed) "real" dllpathname, ie in case gamedll is overridden. Needed specifically for plugin "SinglePlayer".
• Now recognizes "/dev/null" as valid for path options (pluginsfile, execcfg, configini, etc), for when an empty file _is_ desired.
• Fixed loading of plugins.ini to detect duplicate plugins (by full pathname).
