I just uploaded a new version of LAC. This is version 8.47, archived as "Lac08p47" in the "Files" section of our SourceForge pages according to the usual pattern. This new version was written to support ongoing efforts to publish LAC in official "Repositories", commencing with Debian LINUX. Accordingly, users that are already enjoying use of any version since Lac08p44 will have little need to update. There were just 3 tiny changes. Here is the relevant portion of the associated "WhatsNew.txt" file:

  1. The "Makefile" was enhanced to eliminate an error message that was only seen if the operator issued the "make clean" command when there was no executable file to delete.
  2. Default key mapping for "Fire Secondary Weapon" is now set to the "Alt" key immediately to the right of the spacebar.
  3. If the "DefaultHeightMap.LAC" file is missing, the logic that tries to find a copy elsewhere in the filesystem has been made even more intelligent. Now, in addition to searching filesystem areas that have proven handy in the past, it also looks for a new folder at /etc/LAC, where Repository-oriented installation activities may have left a copy.
