Oh yeah, and have a Happy New Year!

[Matthew Bluefox]

Thanks a lot for this release! A really lovely "Happy Meow Year" purrsent.

[Freedom]

just takes me to a page asking me to sign up for file den, don't see any offer of a beta.

and exactly what is this anyway, what makes it different from the last beta on the change log?

Is this like.... there will never be a stable release, so take this and pretend?

edit... the mediafire mirror works, but still.... what is different about this release?

[Saffith]

Hm, maybe they'll need to be hosted elsewhere.

Functionally, this is the same as build 1352; the only difference is the text in the "about" box. It's just a milestone, really. There's still some stuff left to fix, certainly, but we believe we're getting close to being done.

[Freedom]

I got you.
so is this considered an "official release" then, like say 192b183 or the 210?
I ask this to know if quests built in this would be considered for addition to PureZC's database as released in a "official" version.

By the way, thanks guys for all your hard work, and happy new year.

That's a price you pay when trying to get this thread up right at the new year: Nothing wants to work properly, including hosting. :p I've replaced the links with something more proper. If anyone wants to mirror them then feel free to do so.

freedom: "Officially" there is no definitive consensus to exactly how far the next full release is. / It'll be done when it's done. / (I'm required to say that by article 3-C5.2F) ..That said, the current progress is very good and is well deserving a landmark release of some sort. Is it good enough to be considered akin to 2.10 and 1.93? I don't know, It's only been out for a few hours...Is it?

[Saffith]

I ask this to know if quests built in this would be considered for addition to PureZC's database as released in a "official" version.

You'd have to ask them, but I don't think Pure will accept quests until the final version. Barring any yet-unknown bugs, however, there should be no differences between quests made in this beta and the final version.

[XMuppetSB]

As it seems, there are only 18 bug remaining, not including the NES Inconsistencies, which are on hold until 2.6. Either way, I am so glad we are so close to an official 2.5 release.

[Joe]

Not much info here. If I install this beta release will it play quests ceated in previous releases of Zelda Classic? It would be nice to delete about 20 Zc engines I now have installed on my pc.

Thanks - Joe

It ought to. If it doesn't play 2.10 and earlier quests correctly, that's a bug. If it doesn't play quests from older builds and betas correctly, the quests should be updated.
