Classic Marathon has been updated to use Aleph One 1.9.

This is a major release featuring dedicated servers, ping times for metaserver net games, a pregame network loading screen, automatic demos, and more fixes for M1 net maps.

Full release notes are available at https://github.com/Aleph-One-Marathon/alephone/releases/tag/release-20240712

We have updated Classic Marathon with a few fixes:

• Fix a crash with some older Marathon net maps like Villa Banzai and Rancid Cafe
  
• Don't disable achievements when accidentally activating the console, or just entering gibberish. Only executing a genuine Lua command on the console will disable achievements
  
• Print a message to the screen when achievements have been disabled
  
• Fix issue with loading games saved with achievements disabled
  
• Fix an issue with the default and basic HUDs displaying error messages in net games with a kill limit
  
• Allow passing args to Classic Marathon to assist debugging, for instance: adding -g will force Classic Marathon to use the software renderer, which works around the green lines some broken OpenGL drivers show over top of the game
