I am very pleased to announce that we have released Metamod:Source 1.7. This is a major update -- it is a single version that runs on all Source engines, including Left 4 Dead.

In addition we have started snapshots on the 1.2 branch of SourceMod. This branch will run on Left 4 Dead, and requires Metamod:Source 1.7.

You can get SM 1.2 snapshots here: http://www.sourcemod.net/snapshots-1.2.php
MM:S 1.7 here: http://www.metamodsource.net/

The versions are now:

• 1.0 is the stable branch.
• 1.1 is RC-quality and will be released early December (I really hope).
• 1.2 is alpha quality and is the new development line, and contains L4D support.

Metamod:Source 1.7 remains fully backward compatible and will run on all engines. SourceMod 1.2 remains fully backward compatible as well.

Wiki article for C++ developers: Porting to Left 4 Dead. Note that 1.7 is simply a merge of the 1.4 and 1.6 histories. There are still separate APIs, but they are now in one nice repository.

Huge, huge thanks goes to Scott Ehlert (Damaged Soul) for doing most of the L4D porting work. Also thanks to our many donors who sponsored this release, and LayeredTech for giving us a VM for testing Left 4 Dead.
