New upstream version.
The old one isn't compatible with the online servers.

Testing:

* precise:
[x] Package builds without modification
[x] blobby-data installs cleanly and runs
[x] blobby installs cleanly and runs
[x] blobby-server installs cleanly and runs

No reverse dependencies

Thank you for requesting this backport. If the version in the release is truly broke, this should probably be an SRU. Are all the online servers switched over or just some?

All the official ones but you can host your own servers, play on the LAN or locally.
Is there a policy about SRUs of mutiplayer games with protocol changes?

The only precedent we have AFAIK is bug 852603 for hedgewars. I'd suggest asking the SRU team, I'm happy to approve this backport if they say no.
