Re: [Rails-devel] 1.0.7 problem seen in 18AL (invisible move, attached)

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

Hi Jim,

I found this bug report today in the Tracker.
The cause is a bug in 1.0.6 that causes AB&C getting the first turn 
in OR5.1 rather than M&O. The latter is correct.
I see in the tracker item that you have already picked this up.

For other people's interest, if you encouter bugs in 1.0.6 that
don't exist in 1.0.7, you can follow the same procedure as I
recommended to Jim:

Best advice to players is:
- Undo moves with 1.0.6 until before the (first) error 
(or reload a previous saved file),
- Save and exit,
- Reload with 1.0.7, 
- Enter any previously undone moves.

Erik.
