Wondering where one can find the source repo these days. Given that it's required to be released it should at least be mentioned somewhere on the site

 

NVM: Found it @ https://github.com/jkanewmod/NewJK/commits/master

 

Looks to be missing a few commits from upstream =]

Download 1.2.0 update

Release notes for 1.2.0:

• Added the new cvar cg_drawSpecInfo (defaults to: 0). If enabled, when you are a spectator, on supporting servers, displays each player's name and bars representing their health, armor, and force above their head.
• Added the new cvar cg_drawFreeSpecCrosshair (defaults to: 1). If disabled, hides the crosshair while in free spectator mode.
• Force power selection now defaults to Force Speed at match start.
• nm_timer labels now respect your font choice from cg_hudFont.
• CTF flag status icons are now shown in free spectator mode.
• Fixed cg_weather setting not persisting across map restarts.
• Fixed a bug where teamoverlay locations could become bugged under certain circumstances.
• Improved update rate of team overlay.
• Removed the cvar cg_offsetSiegeTimer and integrated it into cg_drawSiegeTimer; read the documentation for that cvar for details and new options.
• Auto-download will now automatically reconnect if the download takes a long time; should help prevent the "reliable commands" error.
• Fixed an issue with flickering flag carrier information under certain circumstances.
• Fixed crashes that happened under certain circumstances.
• Miscellaneous bug fixes and improvements.

Remember that users running both Newmod and NewJK should update both.

1.4 relased: https://jkanewmod.github.io/download.html

Changelog:(sorry, I forgot to put 1.3 changelog before)

• FPS:
  • Improved FPS by optimizing the code in several places.
  • Added the new "FPS Saver" cvar (cl_fpsSaver), which improves FPS by reducing particle effects.
• Alerts while minimized:
  • Added the new "Alert" cvar (cg_alert), which you can set to flash your minimized JKA window on the taskbar whenever certain customizable events occur, such as when a vote is called, when you receive a PM, when 4 players have joined the server, etc.
• Time nudge:
  • Enhanced the base "Time Nudge" cvar (cl_timeNudge) by adding a new "auto" option, which dynamically changes your timenudge amount based on your current ping. For example, if you set time nudge to auto=40 and your ping at some moment is 61ms, a time nudge value of -21 will be used at that moment.
  • Negative time nudge values are now automatically corrected to zero while spectating, following someone, or watching a demo.
• Weapon selection:
  • Restored the base JKA behavior of the weapon 10 command to cycle through explosives. This was a popular request we received from people who didn't like our switch to individual explosive selection. You can still select individual explosives by using the "Weapon Group" command (nm_weaponGroup) with a single argument, e.g. nm_weaponGroup thermals.
  • The weapon 11 and 12 commands now cycle through explosives, too. As above, you can still select individual mines/detpacks with nm_weaponGroup mines or nm_weaponGroup detpacks if you prefer.
• Demos:
  • You can now pause demo playback by pressing Esc, or by setting the base "Time Scale" cvar (timescale) to 0.
  • Added the new "Demo Restart" command (demo_restart), which restarts the current or last-played demo.
  • Fixed a bug where auto-recorded demos couldn't be saved if the filename contained some invalid characters : * ? " < > |
• Chat:
  • You can now type percent signs and quotation marks into chat.
  • The chat box is now limited to the actual maximum number of characters that servers will accept (149 digits). As you approach the maximum, it will display the number of remaining available digits.
  • Fixed a base JKA bug where chat messages could be cut off at different lengths depending on the name length of the sender.
• Console:
  • Removed the large amount of base JKA console spam that was printed in between maps.
  • Vanilla executable only: greatly increased how much text can be stored in the console when scrolling up, making it equal to NewJK.
• Siege:
  • Added the new "Display Class Changes" cvar (cg_drawClassChanges), which displays siege class changes on the HUD.
  • Siege techs looking at teammates now see health/armor/ammo bars with absolute sizing (e.g. 50/50 health and 100/100 health look different).
  • You are no longer forced to view the scoreboard upon death in Siege.
• Miscellaneous features:
  • NewJK only: added the new "Raw Mouse" cvar ( in_raw), which allows you to toggle raw mouse input. It defaults to enabled (just like older NewJK), but now it can be disabled to simulate vanilla-style mouse input (allows Windows mouse acceleration, etc).
  • Vanilla executable only: added the new "Doppler Effect" cvar (s_doppler), which toggles simulation of the Doppler effect for moving sound sources (rockets). This was a base JKA intended feature that was never completed, and already exists in NewJK.
  • Added the new "VSTR Queue" command (vstrq), which queues a VSTR to be executed after a delay.
  • Added the new "VSTR Queue Cancel" command (vstrqcancel), which cancels a queued VSTR.
• Miscellaneous improvements:
  • Major overhaul of the Newmod menu. All new features are highlighted to make them easier to find.
  • The "Speedometer" cvar (cg_speedometer) has been enhanced with dynamic max speed scaling, and now shows 1 second of speed data (previously showed ~0.4 seconds).
  • NewJK only: Your gamma (r_gamma) setting now only affects the JKA window, i.e., not your desktop or other windows. You can optionally disable this by setting the "Gamma Shaders" cvar (r_gammaShaders) to 0.
  • Numerous other miscellaneous improvements.
• Miscellaneous bug fixes:
  • Fixed the base JKA "ghost corpses" bug which allowed invisible corpses to block shots and detonate projectiles.
  • Fixed some base JKA bugs where parts of character models were invisible at certain angles.
  • Fixed improper alignment of base JKA crosshair #6 and Newmod's dot crosshair.
  • Numerous other miscellaneous fixes.

I've been trying the mod and the truth is very well done and it's quite interesting, but I would like to see some menu with the options of the camera, you know, Range and those things, and also the Zoom. I love the zoom, it allows to take fantastic photos, it would be great if I added it to the mod. 

 

Being following this project, the truth is pretty good looking

• Chat translation

  • You can now automatically translate chats. Set a player to be translated with the Player Tracker command (nm_playerTracker) using the format: nm_playerTracker translate <client number> <their language>.

  • Set your own native/preferred language with the Translate To cvar (cg_translateTo), which defaults to english.

• Vchat

  • You can now send custom (non-base JKA) voice chats to other players with the new Vchat command (nm_vchat). Modders can easily create vchat packs compatible with Newmod, which you can send and receive on compatible servers (none are included with Newmod).
  • You can choose which categories of vchats to enable with the Vchat cvars. Vchats are one of three categories: teamwork, general, or meme.
  • You can mute vchats from a particular player with the Player Tracker command (nm_playerTracker) using the format: nm_playerTracker mute <client number>.

• Key binds

  • NewJK executable only: You can now bind key combinations using an Alt / Ctrl / Shift modifier key. For example, bind ctrl+x kill will make Ctrl + X perform kill.
  • NewJK executable only: You can now bind the right-side Alt / Ctrl / Shift keys separately from the left-side keys. For example, bind rctrl kill will make the right-side Ctrl key perform kill. Don't worry, your existing configuration is still 100% compatible — if no binding is specifically set for the right-side key, then the generic binding is used. The left-side key always uses the generic binding.

• Miscellaneous new features

  • Added the new Sky Portals cvar (cg_skyPortals), which controls whether to render sky portals (distant mountains/buildings, etc.). Disabling this cvar may improve FPS on some maps.
  • Added the new FPS Test command (nm_fps), which measures average FPS over time.
  • Added the new Mute command (mute), which toggles playback of all in-game sound.
  • Added the new Chat Beep cvar (cg_beep), which controls when to play the chat beep sound.
  • Added the new Fast Sky Color cvar (r_fastSkyColor), which changes the color of the sky when the base JKA Fast Sky cvar (r_fastSky) is used.
  • Added the new Language Fixes cvar (cg_languageFix), which applies fixes for certain languages (French, Hungarian).
  • NewJK executable only: added the new Force Game cvar (fs_forceGame), which forces the fs_game cvar to a certain setting, preventing annoying servers from changing your game mod folder.
  • The Gun Display cvar (cg_drawGun) now supports decimal numbers between 0 and 1 to display your weapon with partial opacity.

• Miscellaneous improvements

  • You can now type the Euro symbol € in the chat. This replaces the useless/troll "WSI FONTS" character.
  • You can now see scoreboard data any time while watching a demo; you don't need to wait until the person recording the demo opened their scoreboard or died.
  • Added improved support for CTF race mode on base_enhanced servers.
  • The strafe helper speedometer (cg_strafeHelper) now also shows your speed from the last time you were on the ground.
  • The FPS Saver cvar (cl_fpsSaver)'s 2 bitflag now saves even more FPS.
  • The Siege Help cvar (cg_drawSiegeHelp) has been enhanced to display floating 3D messages in the game world (requires server support).
  • While connected to a base_entranced siege server, siege class information displayed in the "Join" menu now displays accurate data sent from the server.
  • Numerous other miscellaneous improvements.

• Miscellaneous bug fixes

  • NewJK executable only: fixed mouse getting stuck in the center of your screen when minimizing JKA immediately after startup.
  • NewJK executable only: fixed pressing AltGr and another key causing certain behaviors erroneously, e.g. AltGr + V performing paste.
  • Fixed CTF flag capture HUD notifications from the Capture Display cvar (cg_drawCaptures) using the wrong color. Correct colors are now used (e.g. when red team scores, red color is used).
  • Fixed a base JKA behavior where your own vchat sounds would be stopped by jumping or rolling, despite other players being able to still hear it.
  • Fixed the "phantom saber hum" bug, where you could occasionally hear saber hum sounds from dead players.
  • Fixed the removeOnDeath parameter of the Countdown Timer command (nm_timer) not working.
  • Numerous other miscellaneous bug fixes.

• New features for power users

  • Added the new Random Command command (random), which executes a random command from a list.
  • Added the new String Substitution command (strSub), which executes a command, substituting in the contents of cvar(s).
  • Added the new If Cvar command (ifCvar), which executes a certain command depending on the setting of a cvar.
  • The Shell Command command (shell) has been updated to set a cvar to your command's output.

• 1.5.1 hotfix notes

  The 1.5.1. hotfix release includes a few QoL improvements from 1.5.0.

  • Disabled and muted vchats are now 100% silent and hidden (previously, their sound was simply changed to a beep).

  • The default setting of the Meme Vchats cvar (cg_vchatMeme) is now 3 instead of 2. This means that by default, you will no longer see non-installed meme vchats whatsoever.
