Westlake Interactive updated their news page with the status of the upcoming 405b patch for their Mac port of Unreal Tournament. Here's the scoop:

The 405b (b is just an internal version number, it doesn't stand for Beta) Mac update for Unreal Tournament is currently being worked on, and will include all of the fixes from the PC 405 as well as several Mac specific changes. We hope to have all of the changes integrated and tested with in a week or two, so we can release it.

The current 400 version of UT Mac works perfectly well with 402 and 405 PC servers, so you can still keep playing UT on the hundreds of Internet servers while we're working on 405.

Among the Mac specific fixes we've implemented already are:

- Fixed a bug that caused custom skins & maps to not auto-download when joining a server.

- Added some extra code to the RAVE driver to boost performance on newer AGP Rage 128 cards.

- Added an option for dedicated servers that will detect if the server has stopped accepting connections (which can happen after 2 to 10 hours of running). If the server sees this has happened, it will relauch itself with all settings entact.

- Fixed remote web administration code, you can now change settings, kick/ban players, and even type directly into the server console of a Mac server all from a standard web browser.
