Request: 0.76b2

[imbaczek]

yeah, unitsync compiled by gcc 4.3 is kinda broken. use the original one. i have completely no time to update the package or pull new fixes, unfortunately...

[koshi]

is there any real reason latest commit shouldn't compile with gcc < 4.3 ?

Code: Select all

with this change it compiles perfectly fine on my gcc 4.2.1

I think we should consider having Spring set affinity to a single core by default on Windows which should be fairly easy assuming we can access Win32API through MinGW: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library ... S.85).aspx There's a couple other methods available as well. It probably won't be necessary in the next major version when the multithreading is introduced but we might as well do this as a temporary fix till then.

Which would defeat the point of the new rendering thread?

The bugfix release almost certainly isn't going to have that patch, thus setting affinity is a good way to fix performance issues temporarily.

[AF]

But setting affinity only affects a handful of people, and for some people it actually makes performance worse

I was under the impression there was a bunch of people complaining about it and I don't know if it actually reduces performance for people.

i think telling yoko that's it's about free time is... unnecessary he's a MOTU, after all.

anyways a 76b2 will happen, hopefully sooner than later.

Hello it is 2 months later can we have a 76b2 now?


Anyway would anything break if I did another pull off your repository and updated the Ubuntu package? It's about a month out of date at this point.

Install a bazeck build (which is posted on this forum somewheres).

I've only just finished my exams, have some RL stuff to catch up and then we can talk. Maybe svn showstoppers were fixed and we could go straight for 0.77? Any input on that?

[Satirik]

tobi is looking for someone to organize tests of the svn version so we could know if it's ready for a release or know what is missing to release it i guess you're perfect for this task ? :)

[LordMatt]

I am happy to help test SVN spring (and so is quantum).

[Masure]

I Can help too in playing svn version for testing.

Don't know if a specific lobby server is needed to run the test version. If needed I could provide this 24/24 on the same server used for backup.

[reivanen]

Make the info about the test event public, so anyone who wants to help could join and contribute!

I'd be happy to participate in testing.

[Beherith]

ooooh oooooh
Pick me! Pick me!

[Acidd_UK]

You're in your desk?!

[Beherith]

Well, considering Im 10 years old, I think thats as good a place as any.

[el_matarife]

Practically everyone in the US has a 3 day weekend this week since we get Friday July 4th off for Independence Day, so I'd assume a test day this weekend would work pretty well. If we schedule a time I'm pretty sure I can get a bunch of people to show up for a test.

Does the current SVN really have everything we want for a .77 release? Are we willing to turn around and do a quick B2 patch after we release it for any serious bugs? I don't want to make everyone sit around and deal with known bugs for 6 months again like we've been doing.

[Manoa]

where is this testing going to take place ?
