Release process for 0.2.7.1

Website · Post by **Z-Man** » Tue Mar 01, 2005 6:08 pm

We decided ( OK, I suggested, klax supported the suggestion and Tank did not protest heavily enough ) to make the release process public so we get a bit of testing from the one or the other community member and can correct mistakes before we made the effort of a full release. The process goes as follows: I publish source tarballs and some others build binaries from that. Files will be published here, non-developers can download them, but on their own risk. Of course, we're more than happy about bug reports. Feature requests however should stay out of this thread. Even tiny ones.

So here's the third release candidate tarball.

Bugs fixed since rc 2:
- Rubber code was not the same for everyone, high FPS players still had an advantage
- Sensors sent out of the rim wall gave back wrong distance measurements, possibly confusing the AI and rubber
- CONSOLE_MESSAGE now adds a newline
- CONSOLE_DECORATE_IP works now
- the rc.d start/stop scripts should work now ( tested on gentoo and suse )
- german menu title corrected ( it read Armagetron Advanced Advanced... )
- correct version.h

The docs say they're not updated for 0.2.7.0, but that's true, too. It will be corrected if there'll be another release candidate.

Here are some RPMs I built from rc 3. I built them on Gentoo and tested them on SuSE 9.1 Personal. They're gzipped so the forum accepts them, I know it does not make them smaller

They require libstdc++ version 5.
Edit: systems that use GCC 3.3 will have that version.

These are not windows executables, these are linux files. (So far. I'll post windows binaries as soon as I can.)

Edit: I made a typo...

The first file is a SOURCE tarball. You need a compiler to use it.
The other three are RPMs. They are for linux only.

you were saying that:
these are windows executables and these are linux files

so i ask, which of them is the windows file(s)?

)

Here I post Ubuntu Hoary amd64 binaries (probably they will also work in debian).

Sorry but the windows builds have the Armagetron Advanced Advanced typo in german LOL

z-man: which files have u changed? It only showed Armagetron in english and I had to add Advanced to languages.txt...

I woulda gotten to making the rc3 installers soon, in fact, I would have done them right now had you not posted them...
