DDNet 18.1 is supposed to release in 1 week, assuming no bad bugs are found. Please test the Release Candidate to prevent problems being only discovered after release. Report bugs in the bugs channel or directly on Github: https://github.com/ddnet/ddnet/pull/8046 Windows 32bit: https://ddnet.org/downloads/DDNet-18.1-rc2-win32.zip Windows 64bit: https://ddnet.org/downloads/DDNet-18.1-rc2-win64.zip Linux x86: https://ddnet.org/downloads/DDNet-18.1-rc2-linux_x86.tar.xz Linux x86-64: https://ddnet.org/downloads/DDNet-18.1-rc2-linux_x86_64.tar.xz macOS (arm64 & x86-64): https://ddnet.org/downloads/DDNet-18.1-rc2-macos.dmg You can also test the release candidate in Steam by clicking on Settings -> Properties -> Betas and opting into the Release Candidates. This will automatically update you to a new release candidate when it is available, and to the next release when no new candidate is available. So you can always leave this setting enabled to help us test new releases earlier. See https://github.com/ddnet/ddnet/pull/8046 for included changes, ideally test their behavior specifically. But just playing as you do normally also helps. The highlights are:

[Client] Add tabs for favorite communities, separate country/type filters [Robyt3]
[Editor] Better map settings input (autocompletion, validation) [archimede67]
[Client] Render loading message/indicator for vote options and rcon commands [Robyt3]
[Client] Add flag search in settings [bencie]
[Client] Add team-lock indicator to HUD [dobrykafe]
[Client] Use icons for Internet, LAN and Favorites server browser tabs, use star icon for favorite servers [Robyt3]
[Client] More efficient HTTP usage [Learath2]
