The GB version is compatible with Pogamut 1.21 and can be donwloaded from download section or here: [http://artemis.ms.mff.cuni.cz/pogamut_files/GameBots-090122.zip|Gamebots 2004, newest] .

Move commands now won't change bot actual rotation (only after approaching target location, the bot will turn to the direction of the movement - not if turn command was issued during the movement.)

Well what CMOVE command does is simply the bot will start moving to the direction he is facing. So when you send TURNTO command during this movement the bot will continue to move and will steer according to TURNTO command. I like this behavior, becauese it features nice steering movement. If you want your bot to move to some specific location + facing another spot, use RUNTO command or STRAFE command.
