Is it Christmas already? I've lost hope this would ever happen.

Great!

The newest files in the archive are from early 2012!? Did this version play WSCC/WCCC 2015?

My hopes do not go that far. Richard probably feels that there is no danger now in publishing a 3-year old engine but he's going to keep the fresh one to himself.
I assume it does not come with sources, does it?

Where is the "eyeball in the hand" logo?
We can't have a new Baron release without it.

Yes, without source code and only Windows binaries.
