Re: [Rails-devel] 1856 in Rails 1.1.0 -- error starting 1856 game

Adding the ability to play a whole new game (1856) was a a significant amount of work that really couldn't be pursued incrementally. Unfortunately, save file compatibility is something that occasionally will need to be broken. We don't like doing it, but this time around, it was unavoidable. Now that there are more people actively playing and testing, we're finding more bugs. Some are new, and some have probably been lurking around a while without being found. Overall, this is a step in the right direction. ---Brett.

(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.
