Re: [Rails-devel] 1856: CGR Bug: selling 5% moves stock price

[Aliza P. <ali...@gm...>]

When are we likely to see a release with this bugfix in it?  Last
night I did a playforward of a live game I'm in where there was a
forced sale in the middle of an OR, and I guessed the victim would
sell a 5% share of the CGR rather than a 10% share of a company that
had not run yet.

(While I appreciate that this is a volunteer effort, etc., when the
other version of this bug was fixed we waited several months for a
bugfix release and then gave up and scrapped the game...)
