They have more recent builds than that if you dig deeper - such as from this summer. You can also try betas of the new launcher I made, which uses .sheepvm bundles (see http://www.emaculation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5754&start=25 ). Either way, I suggest making a post on those forums asking them to put a sticky up with newer builds. Or you can build it yourself from source. Making builds is not as simple as it sounds. First, people want UB builds, which is a little painful to make since you have to compile twice and then merge them. Then, you gotta make sure they're compatible with Tiger, so you need a Tiger system. Then, you have to decide what the various options that people want in it are - there's too many for SS and I don't know what other people use. Additionally, a Windows build to correspond to the Mac one for the same date should be provided. And don't get me started on Linux and BeOS. Then, there's the issue with "official" builds and version numbers. Do I have the right to bump the version number to 2.4 just because I have CVS access? I don't know. Also, the only site that's official is Gwenole's, which I can't edit. Oh and when there's new versions, someone needs to go and upload them to sites like MacUpdate and VersionTracker and friends. So all in all, its a complicated story. Perhaps some part of it can be solved technically (like making scripts to build a Tiger-compatible UB of SS on a Leopard or Snow Leopard Intel system). -Alexei On Sun, Oct 4, 2009 at 2:13 PM, Kevin Jaques <kev...@hi...>wrote: > If only!
