UMark (UT2004 Benchmark) / News: Recent posts

The third beta version of UMark for Linux has recently been released.

This release cuts ties with Gnome dependencies, as it has been redesigned with only Gtk+ widgets, also making the compiled binary over 160KB smaller. Beta 3 features support for timedemo benchmaking, UT2004 demo, as well as a slew of interface and functionality improvements.

UMark Beta 3 development build 20050401 has successfully submitted the first ever Linux benchmark score to UMark Online just recently. However, don't expect to be submitting scores yourselves just yet, because the authenticity hashes (for cheat protextion) haven't yet been completed.

UMark for Linux Beta 2 has been released. This release addresses compiler issues and scanning of installed UT200x versions and their proper directories, as well as other, minor improvements. Testing, bug reports, and/or confirmation it is working are very much needed, as it is currently only tested on the development machine.

CANADA--OCTOBER 20, 2004--Jeffrey Bakker, an open source software programmer, today announced the long awaited release of UMark version 2.0.0 and UMark Online. Version 2.0.0 of this Unreal engine 2 benchmarking software boasts dozens of improvements, and incorporates the submission of scores to an interactive online bencharking database.

Development on the next version of UMark has started. The program will have reimplemented features, as well as completely new features including a new account-based service called "UMark Online".

This release (v1.2.0) fixes problems that have appeared when the UT2004 retail version was released. Changed the SpecatorOnly option to equal '1' instead of 'True', which worked in the demo, but was changed for the release.

Thank you Joel Hruska, CPU reviewer from sudhian.com for pointing out the change.
