[Rails-devel] Rails releases for 1880

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

I suggest to have alpha/beta-releases still from the 1880 branches.

As soon as the 1880 has stabilized either Mike or myself will merge 1880 
into the master branch for an official release of 1.8.0

After that most likely there will be a few bug fixes occur, so after 
some weeks of testing I will incorporate the 1880 changes into the 2.0 
branch.

For the latter it would be helpful if Mike could provide a bullet list 
of the major changes that effect the baseline Rails code and either Mike 
or Martin one or more test game files for 1880.

The main one right now is that I did add in the ability to have multiple
start rounds.

I also added in a way to add a value to the company's total run within the
calculator.  (In 1880, depending on your position in the stock market, you
may get a bonus to the total of the company run.)  I'm not sure what I did
was the right way to do it, but I didn't see another way to add in a bonus
that wasn't tied to a specific hex or hexes or an additional train.

I will come up with the complete list in a little bit.

I'd guess that it might be on the order of a few weeks before the problems
with 1880 that I'm aware of are completely fixed.

The best way to add that kind of bonus is to implement the 
StaticRevenueModifier interface.

That is what we tried at first, but I didn't see how to do it.
addRevenueBonus seemed to only work if it was tied to a vertex, and seemed
like it would apply to each train, which isn't what we wanted.

Could be that I missed an interface in there, tho.

Sorry, you are right: As it only should occur once for the company and 
not per train, best way is to implement the RevenueDynamicModifier.

Take the Pullman-Modifier as an example how to use it in a similar (only 
slightly more complex) context.

Using the Revenue interfaces is best practice as it guarantees to have 
no impact on the calculation in the other games.
