Is trunk now 0.9?


Problems running or configuring the software, commands & options, compiling, different platforms, using the interface, documentation, etc.

Is trunk now 0.9?

I just ran "git pull" on my linux box to update my source and get my trunk up to date, compiled & ran it, and now the program says I'm running 0.9.0-a0. The updated windows binaries are still 0.8.

My guess is I ran the wrong git command? Anyhow, now I'm not sure what git command to use to update trunk, and also what version I'm actually running. I do have Ogres with the new +3 apts.

Re: Is trunk now 0.9?

Trunk is now technically 0.9 alpha, yes, since 0.8 has been branched (so that it can be tested, and bug fixes applied to it without adding any new features that go into trunk) in preparation for its release. If you want to play the 0.8 branch locally then you need to do something like git checkout -b stone_soup-0.8 origin/stone_soup-0.8, which will get you the 0.8 branch locally and switch you to it (so doing git pull on it will keep you up-to-date with whatever fixes are added to the branch up until release).

Thanks. It's working fine, so I guess I'll just keep playing this.

Re: Is trunk now 0.9?

Thanks, I just noticed the same thing.

A bit off topic, but in Ubuntu, if you don't compile the source yourself but instead install DCSS via the Ubuntu Software Centre, you end up with tiles version 2.0... it would be great if that could be updated (unfortunately this isn't something I can do), as improving accessibility might lead to new players picking it up... DCSS is the best game available for Linux after all! :)

Doesn't ubuntu ship with 0.7? I thought so. We can't do much better than release in time for ubuntu to include or latest version in their new releases. That should happen if we keep a regular january/july release cycle.

No, unfortunately Ubuntu doesn't ship with any version of Crawl. Also, if an ubuntu user tries to follow the install.txt they run into errors as the source will not compile unless extra packages are installed. Following the debian instructions works, but many ubuntu users may not realise this.

by "ships with crawl" i assume galehar means that it's available via synaptic, which it is (unless i have some extra repositories set up on my computer, but i think it's not the case). it's 0.6 on my 10.10.

Re: Is trunk now 0.9?

Ah, yes, on the repo's it's version 0.6, not 0.2 as I thought. It's listed like this: Version: 2:0.6.0-2 (crawl-tiles)

Still, it would be nice if we could get a more up-to-date version on there - and even better if it came pre-installed!

Are there any plans to post the latest 0.8 "release candidates" on the development builds page any time soon?

Yes. We'll switch to the pre-release builds tomorrow, in reaction to your question actually, so thanks! :D
Please report bugs to Crawl's bug tracker, and leave feedback on the development wiki. Thank you!
