there is info in finnish i know.
but can anyone translate it to english or something. (forgot to add this to thread!)

Estimated release time is during March 2012.

There are new game types, more functions for hosts in netplay, 2 new maps, more suit colours... and something else.  It is not a BIG update, but it gives something new to do.

There are also some fishes added.. for example at lake Vuontele there will be better perch fishing places in the northern parts of the lake.

You just have to make a rule to your router that uses net traffic to both directions and connects your intranet IP to outgoing IP. 

Good news! All the new features are done and beta-testing is about to be started.
