NOTE: This is not yet live on the lobby server, you still need 0.82.3 to play online!

Some more issues have been fixed since the last release, so hereby we present the next build, which we plan to be the last of the 0.82 series.

Whoops, 0.82.2 contained a major packaging bug.

By accident different base content had been released in the Windows installer and in the Linux packages, causing much confusion and so called "lobby desyncs".

Therefore we release this hot fix release, that should correct the issue.

Detailed changes since the 0.82.2:

Engine / General:

Some more issues have been fixed since the second release candidate, so hereby we present the next build, which also happens to be the real release: Spring 0.82.2

For the last time we'd also like to remember game developers to test their games against this build of Spring, and in particular think about the following breaking changes:

• Removal of start unit spawning (replacement gadgets in the linked thread)
• Dropping support for modinfo.tdf (modinfo.lua is the alternative)
• Removal of AllowUnsafeChanges (everything will be allowed by default now)

To players: due to these changes it may happen that old games are not listed anymore in your lobby client, or that no start units are spawned. In both cases, this is not your fault nor a bug in Spring, but the result of the game not being up to date with these breaking changes in Spring.

In such cases, please download an up to date copy of your favorite Spring game or prod the author to release an update.

Additionally I'd like to highlight that this release will allow mid-game join and rejoin (by replaying the game up to the point where the real game is).
