3 | Chat control( silencing and kick voting )
4 | Fixed the rip bug, clients sent game time of cycle commands
5 | new cycle sync code: server sends more data to identify which client command was last executed. Shaped arenas and non-rectangular turns added.
6 | Client support for server formatted chat messages.
7 | Doublebind countermeasures. Proper cycle speed and acceleration handling and syncing.
8 | Server bugfix: turns that were accepted from the client, but not yet executed, are not claimed to be executed in sync messages.
10 | New server controlled voting items to add voting items that only require code on the server.

Note: Some protocol versions were only available in CVS, so not every protocol version corresponds to a Armagetron Advanced version.
