AlliedModders - AMX Mod X 1.71 Released, Contest Extension

I'm pleased to announce that AMX Mod X 1.71 is released. This is a bugfix release targeted at the few major issues found from 1.70. The biggest new feature added is "Binary Logging", a powerful solution for scripters who need assistance tracking down crashing problems.

Get 1.71 at the new and improved downloads page:
http://www.amxmodx.org/downloads.php

Also, since a few people asked for natives/fixes directly related to the Obfuscated Coding Contest, I'm gonna extend it by a week to April 9th! If you like writing bad code, you've still got time!

Lastly, my apologies to any Gabe Newells we offended with our April Fool's Joke. Note: No Gabe Newells were harmed during that production.
