Alpha 0.20-TP3

Release Version: 0.20-TP3
Release Codename: none (bugfix)
Release Date: August 24, 2004
Changelog:

• Changed .amxx plugin format - changed compression from LZO to GZ

 -Note on the above - old .amxx files will not work, recompile with the new compiler.
 -The compression will be 30-80% better, but that's not the reason for the switch (which was licensing issues)

• Fixed include files to be more backwards compatible
• Fixed bad compiling options in both AMD64 and Linux compiles (stdc++ dependencies)
• -This also fixes a crash bug in the cstrike package and load errors
• Fixed a very ubiquitous crash bug in MySQL
• Fixed a crash bug in Core when resolving certain strings
• Increased compiler line buffer
