The new DotA version will be released today. This update is a technology update only. While it has no new content, it is a required step that we have to take because it is not possible to update maps on Warcraft 3 after 1.24 patch due to the new code architecture.

I've rewritten most of DotA over the past 1-2 months to the new code base. If everything goes smoothly, this will enable updating to occur normally once again.

Because of the amount of new code in this patch, I recommend that tournaments wait at least a few days before adopting this version.

Thanks to everyone that participated in testing the new code.

6.62 Changelog:
===========
* Full map rewrite to the new 1.24 code architecture

6.62b Changelog:
=============
* Fixed a major exploit that was recently discovered

Awesome as always,thanks for working so hard on DotA =)

IceFrog · 08-25-2009, 04:53 PM

Once we iron out any remaining technical issues with the patch (hopefully there are none), a balance patch (6.63) will follow.

Bovver · 08-25-2009, 04:54 PM

Very nice

when the map will be out?

IceFrog · 08-25-2009, 04:55 PM

Should be within the hour, depending on 1.24b.

^^DragonFist^^ · 08-25-2009, 04:56 PM

I doubt he will give you a convenient reply...any reply on the date will put pressure on him,especially with the DotA community...

Or not =)

Blazzu · 08-25-2009, 04:56 PM

No thanks.

Sky · 08-25-2009, 04:57 PM

Thanks IceFrog!

IceFrog · 08-25-2009, 05:30 PM

Ok Warcaft 1.24b is out. 6.62 can now be downloaded as well.

Cp6uja · 08-25-2009, 05:51 PM

Downloading now! Thanks! GG Hackers!

georgian · 08-25-2009, 06:00 PM

does this means it's over with 1.24 testing and coding and you concentrate now on next map(balancing,new concept,etc)

IceFrog · 08-25-2009, 06:02 PM

Yes, unless 1.24b/6.62 have more problems. We'll find over the next couple of days.

GoD_Tyr · 08-25-2009, 06:06 PM

Downloaded it already, got the notice on DL they are fast lol.

Hillo · 08-25-2009, 06:24 PM

With this update, a lot of people have to update their outdated Warcrafts, which will probably lead to the end of collided maps. (Which is a good thing

)

Can you tell us the next 6.63 release date?How much should we wait for it?

Lycan · 08-25-2009, 06:25 PM

Great Job Ice and the rest!

I don't know the release date. If we don't need a 6.62b, then 6.63 will immediately start development. It will be mostly balance changes, so it won't be a long time like the previous ones.

Lacalos · 08-25-2009, 06:32 PM

Thank a lot icefrog.

and my local biggest DotA server here..just plan to change TFT to version 1.24a......

6.62 can't play in 1.24a right?

IAmNikZ · 08-25-2009, 06:39 PM

Thanks a lot Ice!
