Most Stable Version?

Post by TheHairyOne » Mon 25.04.2016, 13:56

Which version of the code is the most stable/bug free?

I am beginning work on a variant and I would like to start with the best possible code base. Currently I have been working with the 1.1.2 source code.

Clearly the 1.1.4 branch. The 1.1.3 is roughly the current code, but doesn't include the latest fixes. If you plan on working on a MAngband variant, I'd suggest getting the 1.1.4 source and checking every now and then for further fixes until 1.1.4 is released.

On a side note, my variant PWMAngband is based on a mix of current code (1.1.2 and onwards) and experimental code (1.2), because 1.2 added some nice features (especially resizeable client). However, since I ported a lot of stuff from regular Angband, its structure now looks more like Angband than MAngband, and clearly I won't be able to port the latest features (commands, network code) due to too many structural differences.

My only concern with moving from 1.1.2 to 1.1.4 is any new features or gameplay changes. If its just code fixes, then that is clearly the best way.

Is there a list of what is different in post 1.1.2? I dont mind reading build notes if you link them.

And where do I get the 1.1.4 code from? Where are the Dev notes for 1.1.3 and 1.1.4 so I can see what has changed?
