Warp Pipe: Alpha Pulled, Ramping Up For Beta

Alpha Pulled, Ramping Up For Beta

As many have already noticed, we have pulled our alpha software release. We have done this to avoid confusion when Mairo Kart: Double Dash is released, because the software is not compatible with the game and it does not reflect the progress we are currently in at the moment. We are focusing our efforts on beta which will function with Mario Kart: Double Dash, Kirby Air Ride, and 1080: Avalanche. As stated before, we are aiming to have beta out before the end of the year, so practice your carting and snowboarding skills.

Also, it has come to our attention that since we are no longer an open-source software effort, we cannot host our releases on SourceForge. Although this is regrettable, we can understand and we are currently in the process of terminating our relationship with SourceForge. We are currently exploring other avenues to distribute our software. Bittorrent is always an alternative, but we are trying to find donors who would be willing to mirror the beta release. If you are interested, please contact us.

Or maybe it was because they're in violation of their SourceForce agreement and can't release binary only versions, hence they had to pull it.

Come on guys, be honest with your community. It's hard to respect you guys when you try to gloss over everything.

Please read the second paragraph, as it addresses this oversight.

I own two domain names and i have a bunch of web space and bandwith. If you would like me to mirror the beta version please contact me. I am also workign on opening my own server so I might be able to hook you guys up with free hosting.
