UNIT: Main Branch
ACTIVITY: Game Update: 1.24 (Bootcamp Update, Launcher, Add-on Workshop)

Quote from: OldBloke;386240Server updated :D

Quote from: Sparko;387189Update has been released.  don't get caught out, its just under 1gb

info here (http://dev.arma3.com/post/spotrep-00030)

QuoteWe've just pushed the 1.32 update to main branch after over a week of dedicated testing. As you'll see from its gigantic change log, this was mostly about a huge number of smaller fixes and data corrections. The version does also introduce Weapon Inertia and includes a number of useful scripting commands and event handlers. Internally we have now applied our first 'data lock' for Helicopters DLC. That means its development is closing and we're doing testing and fixing only. In the past you may have noticed this also means Dev-Branch updates become a little smaller during that period. That is a good thing. By slowing down development, we enter a period of polishing. It also means we have more time to analyse things like multiplayer even further (based on the logs being gathered from public sessions by server admins across the world).

What about Dev-Branch staging of Helicopters DLC? Late this week is when the window for this opens. The sandbox content is ready for your tests, so the new helicopters and miscellaneous objects will be staged soon. The rest of the package is to follow closer to release. Unfortunately it will not be possible to purchase the DLC separately ahead of release (the DLC Bundle is available though). We're hoping to at least add ownership to the library of Supporter Edition and DLC Bundle owners. Other players will experience the Content Licensing restrictions while testing, and they'll be able to purchase the DLC after its release on November 4.
