Get it from the download site, Steam or itch.io. For Linux users, there also is Flatpak, Zero Install or the Ubuntu PPA.
Apart from the macOS builds now declared stable, there are mostly bugfixes in there.
And if you are wondering why there are already newer betas and release candidates, those carry adaptions for Flatpak, no new code.
0.2.9.2.3 released
Re: 0.2.9.2.3 released
I'm releasing a tiny update, 0.2.9.2.5. The main reason is that we need to update the PPA with current builds, because the ones that come from Ubuntu itself are (or were, I did not recheck) outdated and crash on start.
It's .5 and not .4 because .4 failed to deploy to Itch because they retired their download URI just at the wrong time between test deployments and the real thing.
And while I was at the Ubuntu bug tracker, I found out that someone else had a problem I had only experienced so far with deployed release builds: A startup freeze, with the only escape being to kill the program over the command line. And because only deployed builds were affected and it was quite rare, I never managed to catch it. Fortunately, that now happened much more frequently on the Ubuntu test VM, like one in every three launches, and with self-built release and debug code, too. Turns out, SDL does not like it if you initialize, shut down, then re-initialize the sound system in quick succession. I had put that in on purpose to work around some sound problems. I took it out, hopefully the original problem dematerialized by now.
I'm not quite done with the release process. Website and Github are missing. Flatpak failed to build. It was fine a month ago.
