Title: [New release] Simutrans-Experimental 10.8
Post by: jamespetts on January 29, 2012, 12:10:23 AM
A new version of Simutrans-Experimental is available to-day: Simutrans 111.0 Experimental 10.8. See here (http://forum.simutrans.com/index.php?topic=1894.0) for more information on how to download, install and set up the latest version. For those already familiar with the installation and setup, here are some quick links:

Edit: Added links to Linux binaries.

Note that the Windows binaries contain the Windows version of the no-graphics server and Nettool. Neither Nettool nor Makeobj have been updated for this version. This is a bugfix version, which fixes reported issues in 10.6. I have included the version compiled with IPv4 only in the Windows binaries, as some users were reporting frequent desyncs when using Windows XP in 10.4.

Simutrans-Experimental 10.8 (together with Pak128.Britain-Ex 0.8.3) can be played online. See here (http://forum.simutrans.com/index.php?topic=8969.msg83568#msg83568) for details of the server.

This is a bug fix release, with some small feature changes to assist in balancing games, especially online games; the feature changes are based on testing from the online game, information above. A full list of changes follows.

Changes since 10.7
Feedback and testing

Thanks also to all those who have tested Simutrans-Experimental and provided useful feedback: it is very much appreciated. Any feedback from this version would, as ever, also be very much appreciated, including (1) the new features from 10.4 (access, revenue sharing, player colour saving/transmission); (2) online play (see here (http://simutrans-germany.com/serverlist_ex/) for a list of Simutrans-Experimental servers); (3) general bug reports; (4) information as to how well-balanced that the game is; (5) any difference in approach/strategy needed for Simutrans-Experimental as over Simutrans-Standard; and (6) any other useful feedback.

Thanks again to all those who have worked to test Simutrans-Experimental, and happy playing!
