Due to a security issue that requires an immediate update to the SA-MP cilent and server, SA-MP version 0.3b is being fast-tracked to release. We are making an unrestricted client/server available for server owners to start testing their scripts. You will at least need to recompile your server script with the latest includes. Expect documentation on the scripting changes to appear on the SA-MP wiki soon.

Here is an overview of the updates in 0.3b:

Updates for players:
- Important client security updates
- Updates and fixes to the SA-MP server browser, including host name lookups for your favorites and samp:// URL handling.
- Improved player and animation syncing
- Chat logging
- Chat time-stamping with the /timestamp command
- Files, including screenshots, now save to the GTA San Andreas User Files folder
- No restrictions on screen resolution size
- Any frame limiter changes are now saved
- Several crash fixes

Updates for servers:
- New vehicle velocity and rotation functions
- Ability to track applied animations
- Players can be scripted to hold objects
- A threaded HTTP client for pawn (beta)
- New object limit of 400
- The ability to change the draw distance of objects (up to 300 units)
- NPCs can now record custom set animations
- Increased PVar lookup speed
- Many bug fixes

Things server owners need to know:
- CreateObject/CreatePlayerObject now have a default parameter for draw distance as the last parameter. You do not need to change any of your code, although you must at least recompile your script with the 0.3b pawn includes, otherwise your objects will not show. This new addition may break existing plugin-based streamers.
- We have found that changing the draw distance of objects that contain lights or particles can cause crashes or fps lag.
- The format for onfoot NPC recordings has changed and there is no way to upgrade the format. You must re-record all onfoot NPCs. This doesn't effect vehicle recordings.

Other types of bug fixes and requested features:
As mentioned above, there is a security issue that needs to be patched immediately. I know there are servers owners that have bugs which effect their script, or want a specific feature for their server. These things will have to be put on hold until any future release. Please be understanding about this fact and only post bug reports in 0.3b if they are new bugs and may prevent people from being able to play the game properly.

Перевод от [MURDER]'а: "Примечание: Это - тестовая версия для владельцев сервера (RC). Полный версия появится сразу, как только мы проверим, что нет никаких серьезных ошибок.

Другие виды исправленных ошибок востребованных функций:
Как упомянуто выше, есть проблема безопасности, которая должна быть немедленно исправлена. Я знаю, что есть владельцы серверов, у которых есть ошибки, которые производят их сценарий, или хотят определенную особенность их сервера. Эти вещи должны будут быть исправлены до любого будущего выпуска. Пожалуйста, поймите этот факт, сообщайте об ошибках в 0.3b, если будут новые ошибки, они могут препятствовать тому, чтобы люди были в состоянии играть в игру должным образом."
