Re: [Rails-devel] [newbie] null pointer in PublicCompany?

[Erik V. <eri...@hc...>]

Apologies for this error. It was caused by work in progress.

I have somewhat reorganized the various XML fragments that dealt with 
tile laying and base token costing, and moved the latter into PublicCompany.
You catched me halfway this move....

I have just committed the above changes and some more bug fixes,
and things look well, although I haven't tested very extensively yet. 
Side-effects on games completed before occasionally happen, 
and we're always grateful for bug reports.

Erik.
