RELEASE

[RedKing]

Ah, I should say that I was talking about 17 releases over a short period being a bandwidth problem.  I think a release a week will probably be okay as long as I've got a few mirrors working.  I'm not really sure, since we haven't had a delay this long for this many people before.

So I suppose we shouldn't all be thinking the release is imminent, then? That's certainly what I got out of the latest dev_now, at any rate.

And guys, make sure you're reading that sentence right. He's not saying "in a week".

Arrgh. Damn you, prepositions!

<Shatner-esque pose looking skywards> INNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!

[Orkel]

Only one major crash left to fix? Release.. it's close? Holy shit.

[Qiu]

Is the Mac Version gonna come out the same time as the PC version?

oh god i certainly hope so. i didn't even think about that. now you're scaring me.

Torrents are a horrible network protocol.

[SmileyMan]

Compared to what?  SMTP?  If you're gonna crusade against a protocol, pick that one.

So, just to confirm, all that's left to do now is fix this mysterious crash bug, fix some weird little bugs as they come up, and make the 40d19 merge? Also, is there any chance that DF will get more sane version numbering anytime soon?

The version number is actually more sane than most. See http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/Version_number for a breakdown. In fact, you might be able to predict the new version number.

So there's some pretty delirious biznasty sweet imagery going on if you use Firefox's TTI thing. I dunno if this has to do with the shape and amount of black space in the water squiggles or what, but check it out @_@:

Got it! Must be a new game. So my answers are:


Back to topic:
Will we be able to use totems as statues? Will the trade depot "take goods menu" have a new category for them and the mugs, instead of just searching them by key-words?

... release ... week ...

And guys, ... you're reading that sentence right. ... "in a week".

A Weeek!

Oh, sure, if you make it sound trivial.. Just look how long it's been for the two greens in that category.

Note to everyone: Sheesh! Cool down.

Also, version numbering is very sane. What we need is release titles for major bocks (2D, 3D, 40d, df2010, etc), which will become less of an issue with the promised faster release cycle.

I knew it, it sounded like the release was mere days away!

On the other hand, since it seems that Baughn is working on a 40d20 release still (dat's a lotta dice, mang), there seems to be a possibility that the merge won't happen until after the "2010" release, and we'll get a, say, 55a1* beforehand.

*55a being a rough guesstimate by Footkerchief much earlier in this thread.

I would be okay with having bugfix releases every week or so, sounds like Toady has most of the bugs dealt with.

The weekly updates might cause problems with the succession/community game forts, depending on what it is, but I assume all of the savebreaking stuff is already made and so won't cause issues that way.

Edit: fixed wierd typo, heh
