||unity-dev|| Unity 3 Update

Thanks for the info Colin.  I can't wait to get my hands on all the new AS3
support.  I am curious to know more about the "anti-flooding" feature.  Does
this mean some script kiddie can bombard the server from a program/script or
is this something where the server will only allow x number of messages to
be sent from the client to server in a given time?

Any news on when the "October" update for Unity 3 will be and --- perhaps an
announcement of a Unity 3 Server Alpha release :-)  Even if several features
are disabled and marked as such - as long as the demo chat program runs I'd
love to take it from there and experiment.  I'm sure there are others that
are very excited to kick the tires :-)
