At the offical ToH website they have a full thread of informations of the features of the beta:
And here are some new screens: Some of them showing the terrain (Paris/South Asia), another the map of Seattle and the others explaining some beta-features!
After using the camera in Mondkalb Window Of Opportunity I realised it was a nice smooth basic camera that could be used for High Command to overview the battle field, or any situation where you wanted a nice smooth RTS style camera to watch battles (I mainly play SP). There are some nice camera scripts but I found this one to be a good instant camera with smooth movement for overviewing. "Warfare Cam" was the name not because of warfare missions but that its a camera to watch warfare happen ...
Changelog V0.6
1. Camera Map is now small minimap thats less intrusive to still view battles from camera while moving around. NOTE: tested on 1440x900 16:10 & Interface Size "Small" (it may differ with larger and lower res).
If this is not right then let me know I can center it again.
2. Camera Map scale zoom is a little less when opened & contour info removed. 3. Map toggle key is now TAB (less reaching for the M key) 4. Reset camera view is now LEFT SHIFT key (less reaching for the backspace key) 5. Camera Icon change (cosmetic) 6. Removal of allot of unnecessary code from older Mondkalb's version thats not camera related & more tidying up, and no doubt more later.

Cloughy has informed us about Coop Mission 2-10 Operation Axis release.
2 SBS Teams on the hunt for a BM-21 site in the hills.
It needs 2 human player as group leader, and as many as you can get as the team. You may get away with 1 human. Mission wont break. No chance to test in SP. See readme for known probs, and issues.
I am releasing this as v1.00 (it wont get re-released next week with school boy error fixes in it, ie 'Update:player didnt have any weapons', as you see every day when ppl release un-tested missions), but i would say that if you find any probs or bugs let me know. It has been in beta test for a long time. But on the final beta test everything worked fine.
Short description: Town Clash is a small Squad sized mission with no respawn. Squad Leader player may direct teams using BIS 'HighCommand'. All AI groups are automated so player may freely select any slot in the squad and just follow orders.
Put in Missions for singleplayer or in MPMissions for Coop.

Loyalguard has released an ArmA Electrical Grids (AEG) Script Pack and Addon v 090 (Beta) on the BI Forums. CBA is needed for Addon version.
The ArmA Electrical Grids (AEG) project simulates electrical power grids throughout various islands in the ArmAverse. The simulation features power plants with smokestacks that emit smoke when generating electricity, substations or poles with transformer that emit a humming noise when energized and, street lights are turned off when power is cutoff.
FEATURES -Support for Chernarus, Utes, Takistan, and Zargabad. -Power plants with working smokestacks and power plant noises (currently only on Chernarus). -Electrical substations that emit a transformer humming noise when energized (currently only on Chernarus). -Area/City/Town/Neighborhood pole mounted transformers that emit a transformer humming noise when energized (Currently only on Takistan, Zargabad, and Utes). -Ability to interrupt power by destroying components or, if enabled by mission makers, by manually tripping circuit breakers via the action menu (if tripped, breakers can again be closed to restore power). Manually switching circuit breakers can cause arc flash explosions if enabled by the mission maker. -Mission makers can enable players to remotely logon to grid control software and substation video feeds via custom dialog (Currently only on Chernarus). -Grid redundancy - if certain components go offline, power automatically switches to secondary circuits when available (Currently only on Chernarus). -Built-in task/objective support via global/public variables (with examples). -Fully SP, MP, Team Switch, JIP, and persistent mission compatible. Each mode is optimized for minimal performance impact. JIP is self-contained and does not require onPlayerConnected code. -Backward compatibile with CEG (Chernarus Electrical Grid) for functionality purposes on Chernarus and conflict avoidance. -Extensive documenation for mission makers and players. Easy implementation into any mission. -Fully featured demo missions for each supported island (separate addon and script versions). -Available in script only (no addons required) and addon versions. Addon version automatically adds AEG to any mission on supported islands. Addon signed with v2 signature and includes server key.
