Release delayed!

Post by kharnov »

We are delaying Alpha 39 for one week so that we can mop up some of the remaining bugs. A number of them accumulated over the last few release cycles, and since a significant number of users haven't been able to play, it wouldn't make much sense to make a release with the current state of the client. So far, we've already squashed a number of them, which you can see on our commit log. We've also restored color grading, which is nice.

If you're experiencing any bugs whatsoever over the last couple of releases, please post them here if you haven't done so already.

What about that bug that is not getting enough attention (https://github.com/Unvanquished/Unvanquished/issues/512) that completely breaks Unvanquished packages on Debian, Ubuntu, openSUSE, and many more? Also, why haven't you guys built packages for Debian Stretch yet? I can see you've made a Stretch repo, but it currently doesn't have any .debs in it, only sources.

Packaging the game for all platforms is beyond what we can do, we depend on external packagers to maintain that. Unfortunately our former Debian maintainer has vanished from the Internet. Starting with the release, the multi platform package (aka universal zip) should work on Debian though. In the long run we need a new package maintainer.
