Fullscreen bug, well, can't switch to certain resolutions bug - and I think
you are not the only one with this problem(?) .. but the only one who
can reproduce it :)

That would be good!

Just from my timelime: I don't have much time now (till Thursday, 1st deadline),
the I will be busier between end of Feburary and April (2nd deadline), and 
won't have any time anymore starting in June :)

So a good time for a release would be mid February. Main point would be the
new physics (and fixed handling of driving off track). Perhaps we can get some
additional player visible changes in? E.g. one more collectable (glue??),
or replay?

I think I can fix all physics issues by then (auto rescue is already
fixed, commit should follow soon) - so it's mainly wheelies/zipper, and then
improve the rockets (which are not too good atm). All of this shouldn't take
too long, I hope to have this ready beginning of January (fingers crossed).
This would give us one month for release candidates and bug fixing. Main issue
would be to get a Mac RC package, so that all the addictes fans on the Max
forum could do some testing - with Xeno not having an internet connection
atm that might be a bit of a problem. Hopefully he will be back to normal
soon :)

[then again: this is off topic and should go into a separate thread :) ]

Cheers,
