> Hard to say what the best time for a new bugfix release is. Some motherhood and apple pie here- With all the good development going on in Rails- naturally enough, but unfortunately- there's also enough associated bugs/issues that crop up constantly, that I hope you can move toward "faster and smaller" releases, in an agile style. It seems like 1.1 ended up being a bit of a 'waterfall' style release. That still puts artificial pressure on the developers and players to upgrade 'more stuff'- just, more desperately. More frequent 'minor/stable' releases/bugfixes/updates would be welcome, particularly if more could be done to help with release-to-release compatibility. (Eg, right now I can't upgrade my 1.0.6 games to 1.1, and can't load my 1.1 games in 1.0.6, etc- that's awkward and it would be a good area to improve iteratively, where pragmatic.) best, - jim On Dec 20, 2009, at 1:59 PM, Erik Vos wrote: > Actually, I just found the problem with UpgradesPanel: > replacing repaint() by revalidate() did the job. > Swing isn't so easy on certain aspects... > > Hard to say what the best time for a new bugfix release is. > At one hand, we have this incompatibility with tile #4 > (which will show up rotated when an old save file is > loaded into the new version), and the danger of any more > lurking (or newly introduced) bugs, on the other hand > the OR-start bug just fixed is serious enough for a > new release. > > Perhaps we should just go for it. > > Erik. > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: brett lentz [mailto:wak...@gm...] >> Sent: Sunday 20 December 2009 21:35 >> To: Development list for Rails: an 18xx game >> Subject: Re: [Rails-devel] 1856 in Rails 1.1.0 -- error >> starting 1856 game >> >> Ok.
