2.50 RC2

[_L_]

I hereby declare this to be the 2nd release candidate. Although, this doesn't mean that the remaining RC1 bugs will be ignored - rather, it merely means that the current piles of fixes since RC1 are in need of some scrutiny and confirmation.

Mac OS X Leopard (Intel): http://www.shardstorm.com/zc/alphas/...sx-Leopard.zip
Linux: when Saffith pops in and edits the link into this post.

By the way, I compiled the Windows build myself, so any peculiarities with it are on my hands.

Thank you for your continued support of ZC, and may God have mercy on us all.

Thanks, _L_. I've just downloaded this build and will start trying it out.

I don't have mod powers, so I can't edit the post. :p

Also, I don't know the answer to this:

to confirm, it still needs Snow Leopard, right? those cat names are silly and confusing. pretty sure my Mac 10.4.11 won't be able to handle the thing.

Awesome! I will be testing this with my re-release of Hero of Dreams. I am going to advertise the hell out of my game, so I am hoping to bring new faces here to ZC, so I am hoping everyone tests! Thank you guys for the updates!

Also, I don't know the answer to this:

The answer is you need the Intel version of 10.5 or 10.6. I'll figure out making universal binaries sooner or later.

What does being a Release Candidate mean, since there are multiple of them?

[Saffith]

The idea behind a release candidate is normally "this is it if no serious problems turn up." This one's not really a proper RC, though, as we know there are still bugs that need fixed. We just needed a new build, as RC1 was too badly broken to test thoroughly.

[Imzogelmo]

It has been mentioned that there are still some bugs and that there will be a RC3. What are the remaining bugs that the developers are aware of as of RC2?
I sense that it's getting very close, so it would be helpful if we could have a more focused bug hunt.

[Nicholas Steel]

As people test and scrutinize the program more bugs are almost bound to be found. Also everything listed on Shardstorm since the previous RC will be included in RC3.

[Imzogelmo]

What I mean to say is what bugs are known but haven't been addressed due to either unclear description, unknown causes, or simply arise from unproven code? In other words, what bugs need more eyes on them so we can help the developers to make sure things are fixed?
