[Explorer-devel] Galaxy Explorer 2.9.1 enters beta

[Alexander S. <su...@fo...>]

Hi everybody,

Version 2.9.1 of the Galaxy Explorer entered beta tonight. The changes are
mostly technical and reflect the experience of porting the program to a
relatively fresh Linux box with RedHat 8.0 and respective gcc and libraries
(newedorf.net, that is).

The only big addition is the utility MapChk that, when complete, will allow
the Judge to
assess the quality of the map without having to look at it. Currently,
interhome distances are printed out and minima are indicated.

This engine will be used for running the game of Marathon, the initial
reports for which are due tomorrow.

Best regards.

Alexander
