 Other changes include a power-up counter in the hud, new sprites for the door, a new tileset and several new badguys. But overall, this release is supossed to celebrate our anniversary (May 2000) with a little surprise Add-On, which can be found in the contrib levels!
 
+Since the last beta, the following things were changed:
+- A crash in levels with paths was fixed
+- A segfault that occurs on some graphics cards when `glFenceSync` is called, was fixed.
+- Translations were updated
+
+Please note that this is presumably the last release candidate before the final release.
