Here is the Changes for v0.3

I've really got to update the gallery though, those screenshots are pre v0.1! Anyone willing to take some new ones for me?

Or a Youtube video even? I'll link the video on the site

Also, I'm willing to replace the Canyon Arena (kdm1) multiplayer map with a better one. Anyone want to take up the opportunity to have your map included in Kurok?

Sorry for the huge change list!
