We released Gobby 0.4.2 today. It does not support that much new features, but fixes some annoyances people have complained about: The urgency hint (the window flashing when a user wrote something in the chat) is configurable, documents can be subscribed to by double-clicking them in the user list and the editor tries to keep the line you are currently editing at the same position within the viewport if others add or remove lines elsewhere.

Sobby, the dedicated server, supports initial loading of regular documents instead of serialized obby sessions. Just pass them on the command line as with sessions, sobby will detect whether its a session, and if it is not, it will open it as a document. Sobby now also allows autosaving individual documents into a directory, via the --autosave-directory command line option or the autosave_directory entry in the configuration file, respectively.

Grab them on the Downloads page on our wiki.

Furthermore, I will attend this year's FOSTEL on April 4-5 to represent Gobby there (Thanks to Openismus for making this possible). So if you ever wanted to talk to one of the Gobby developers, be sure to meet me there.
