Smoke Alpha channel messed up

You also should have added the big fat warning on the website. Neither the downloads box nor the release announcement mentions anything about development snapshots. They say "release", which means more-or-less tested code, which isn't the case, it seems. This is a perfect way of loosing users quickly. I'm sure lots of people who downloaded this "release", saw this very apparent bug (which is already known and fixed in svn for months now), and said "vdrift sucks", later also said "open source games suck" and "linux suck".

Now I checked the "about vdrift" page, and it really mentions in the end that "So far, every release has been a testing/development quality release. For this and other reasons, dates are used instead of version numbers. "

By the way my experience is that the longer a code is in a perpetual beta stage, the less likely it is to reach a stable release.
