Update 1.4.0 added some under the-hood changes to the codebase to implement support for skin/helmet variations of the player character. With that the source code of the standalone multiplayer server software was also released.
Player helmets
Two new Helmet variations are introduced: the "Collector" and "Runner" helmet both of which can be unlocked ingame:
Runner
The runner helmet can be unlocked by playing and finishing one of the speedrun playlists in the game. (Either the Any%- and/or the "All Spheres" category.) You don't have to beat a specific time/medal to recieve this helmet. Simply finishing a run is enough to unlock it.
Collector
The collector helmet will be unlocked once the player collects all collectable spheres on all singleplayer/campaign maps in the game. (The same requirement as the "Collector" achievement.)
The multiplayer server as well as the replay formats for the leaderboards were all updated to support the new helmet/skin variants.
The helmet can be changed under options > profile > skin under the color adjustement options:
More variations might be added in the future.
Multiplayer server source code
With the 1.4 version of the game client the source code of the (standalone) multiplayer server software was also released on GitHub. This was done mostly for those who want to check out how a game server is written and for the purposes of modding so those with a programming background can experiment and/or modify the server functionality.
The server software is entirely written in the Java programming language.

Feel free to check it out and/or experiment with it.
From now on this will be the main repository of the server source code so fixes/adjustements (bugfixes,modifications, feature additions) will also be pushed onto this public github repository.
See you in the next update.
