Hmm could you make it non-minor release so that it forces update on all?

(Better than forcing modders to modify chat widgets to support both frames and mission authors to remove that localhost for people with older engine etc)

a .8 is also in the planings, for i guess not too far in the future (maybe a week or two).

I've had the problem of "Added point" being cut to "dded point" since the update. Ice UI hasn't changed, I looked through it anyway, and it seems fine.

Also why have tags been disabled in this forum section?

Can we get some proper Ubuntu 10.10 packages built, the last one had dependency problems so we cannot update and this isn't in the repo yet.

they're already up in my ppa, just waiting to be copied into spring's

On the job as always, appreciated!

Is it launchpad that does the copying itself or does someone who owns springs ppa need to approve it?

one of https://launchpad.net/~spring/+members#active has to copy them

Please do not change existing unitsync functions in non-mandatory updates
Third parameter addition in Init in 0.82.7 wasn't such a big deal because at least it was a mandatory update...

Yeah non mandatory updates can be the most evil because it means we have to support both engine versions at once..

Btw Bibim there is GetEngineVersion in unitsync you can use to get version and use different init based on version but its meh to hardcode versions and decide based on it ..

I hope that .8 will really be in a week or 2.

you would have to use GetEngineVersion() together with GetEngineVersionPatchset() (new function) to work around this.

yeah and those dont exist in .7.0 ?

GetSpringVersion GetSpringVersionPatchset

Yeah so we should modify and deploy at least

SpringLobby
TasClient
Zero-K lobby
SPADS
Springie
MissionEditor

to do ifs with hardcoded spring versions -
now seriously - isn't it simpler to just make it mandatory release?

It takes no extra effort ffs, unlike hacking around this

Fedora test builds are at:

F13: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buil ... dID=213357
F14: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buil ... dID=213356

Both should land in Fedora's updates-testing any time soon. (Most likely tomorrow morning UTC).

Please test them.

Nobody said a word about waterline tag behaviour change.
Before 0.82.7 all units that had waterline >= 5 got it's waterline increased by 10. In current version that part was removed and is causing all subs to dive too close to water surface, and sea labs are sticking out of the water too much, and many other weirdness.

Technically speaking, it was in the gitlog, but it was buried yes. It is easy to fix mods to accommodate the change though, and it was very much a needed change.
