Re: [Rails-devel] Rails 2.0 RC1 1835 bug

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

I did check the code and it does explicitly store the prussian starting 
player (thus the owner of M2) for later (merging) rounds.

Maybe Erik could answer, if he consulted a version of 1835 rules that 
works like that?

Unfortunately fixing that bug potentially invalids (some of) the test 
games for 1835, so I am a little reluctant to fix that issue for the 
upcoming 2.0 release. In most cases the order of merging the privates is 
not very important for game play, so it is not that critical.

My preference is to fix that in rails_2_develop as soon as I have added 
the code to save Rails files as json files. This would allow to edit the 
save files manually and quickly fix them. So most likely it will be 
fixed in 2.1 or 2.2.

We have to address that code anyway to make it compatible with 1837, the 
current implementation does not look very undo-safe anyway.
