zBlock 4.5 RC1

[proximo]

This is our release candidate for 4.5 of zBlock, after Counter-Strike: Source's update to the Orange Box version of the engine we were in a bit of problematic situation. Prior to this change a lot of work had already gone into developing some new experimental features for the plugin (some of which have made it to this release) and we took the time to re-design and re-build the code from the ground-up so now we will be able to maintain it better in the future.
