Patch 1.6 status & other news

Harvard-EAP had posted the latest news about patch 1.6 status in the official boards.
Here's what he had to say:
Dear C&C Generals players,

First off, sorry it's been a while since I posted. Between moving to LA, selling a house & working on --------- it's been chaotic. I thought I'd just update everyone on the status. The community managers do a good job but I'm in the trenches and able to give more "up to the minute" data.

1. Patch 1.6: We are wrapping testing and hope to release this week. I don't have a specific day and it really depends on how solid it is. However - it is looking really good.

1. FIREWALLPORTOVERRIDE INI ENTRY - repaired this entry so it functions correctly.

2. Burning Barricade cheat: Fixed in 1.6

3. Generals powers cheat: Fixed in 1.6

4. Special Surprise Feature in 1.6: We have added a "right click mouse command" option for those players that just prefer that set up. We realize that players can have a hard time switching between RTS games due to the control set up - so we thought we throw in this little present.

5. Ladder Kit: We have a new engineer starting Monday. We'll have him get on this. I apologize for the delay but there have been some internal issues I've been addressing so we can get this done asap. I'll have more soon.

6. June Announcement: Sorry, my bad for saying it would happen in June. However - keep your ears open this upcoming week! Scout's honor!

That about does it for now. Keep your ear to the ground this week!

The patch should be out this week I thinkā€¦ should be good!
And they are working on the Ladder Kit as well... That's great news I think.
