Re: [Rails-devel] 18EU bug in 1.8.7, recommended to use 1.7.12 for non-1880 games

[Stefan F. <ste...@we...>]

Martin will most likely work on the 1880 problems with the xml and svg 
files this weekend (he told me via private mail). After this there will 
be another alpha which should have a testable version of 2.0 with 1880.
