Engine Testing

[Licho]

I copied this version to master too to fix downloading.

So you can test simply by joining iridium autohosts with zero-k lobby on main server too.

Updated from 0.82.6.1-80-gf81067b to 0.82.6.1-119-g172334e; see first post.

added a new `channel` argument to Spring.PlaySoundFile in current master:

May worth that someone tests it.

Updated from 0.82.6.1-119-g172334e to 0.82.3-2297-g26b01f8; see first post.
Do not get confused with 0.82.6.1 -> 0.82.3. This IS a newer version, we just did bad version tagging.

This test release is mainly intended for Game developers to make their game roughly compatible with the upcoming release. There are still many, many known and unknown bugs in there.

important changes

• removed n's in array-like Lua tables
• game end condition moved to Lua
• 3do solid colors appear as black (see Kloot's comment)

TODO add more docu here (other spring devs, please PM me!)

Can't you do this as a new thread? These sandwich threads are frustrating both readIng and posting to

Changes
since 0.82.7.1 (latest changes are at the end of the list)

Is it possible to get a human version of the changelog, instead of linking to the sourcecode?

[hoijui]

it is a commit log, which is a change-log. it is not source code.
There are no human crafted change-logs for testing versions.
You can look at doc/changelog.txt, but it is totally incomplete (misses like 50% of the changes right now), and already contains changes that are not in the testing version.
Game devs might be interested in Make your game ready for the next release! [0.83] too.

I guess that's what I meant, the important things in a thread.
