Quick update from the frontlines, 4.36
-
<p>@MaxWaldorf I’m in touch with @101-Spyder since some weeks. All is coordinated with Vaicon :-)</p>
-
<p>Is there any news on 4.36? Did the dev team forget hahaha</p>
-
<p>@asleepwater thanks, now resetting 3-4 weeks… geez </p>

<p>@asleepwater no we don’t…<br /></p>

<p>Another quick update, since I mentioned we would release by mid march. Again, I missed. Despite that, while I am on the team I will never give up reaching the deadline: it is important to get some concrete progress and get to a finished state product, otherwise we just keep adding stuff and we never reach a stable state.<br /><br />So, what happened since my last update?<br /><br />The quick answer is: too many serious bugs. More than we expected. Some CTDs were freaking hard to understand, some heisenbugs that rarely happened and more… sigh… race conditions.<br /><br />On the bright side, we also added one cool last minute change related to IR displays, but this also added to the delay.<br /><br />Please, believe me, we have been working very hard. That is also one of the reasons you are not hearing much from me here lately (aside from the fact that I was on vacation as well).<br /><br />The concrete news is that we built a RC yesterday (so far, so good, 4 MP bear trap missions, all worked as expected with lots of action). There are minor bugs, but those can wait. Fingers crossed all goes well with this RC and final testing works as expected.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></p>

<p>@Seifer <br />No worries mate, release when you feel it’s ready. Good things come to the patient ones, who can wait :)</p>

<p>@Seifer <br />Thanks a lot. Not just for this update, but because you’re keeping on being frank and honest.<br />About the release date… <em>“Chistmas will come at its own day, not before nor after”.</em><br /><br />With best wishes to you and all the devs. and the beta testing crew, and best regards.</p>

<p>@LorikEolmin As a very, very low level coder I can only imagine the headaches of overcoming this (and no doubt the satisfaction when you do) and commend all the devs for the untold hours they put in on what is obviously a labour of love for them. THANK YOU ALL!!</p>

<p>@Seifer Amazing effort. We’re patient; after all, this is a free update to a free mod. Still boggles my mind the amount of talent going into this. Thank you all.</p>

<p>I just started a 4.35 campaign a couple of weeks ago and getting amazed with what included in 4.35 now. <br />I can wait even a half year for 4.36 release.<br />Thank you for your efforts. Please take time as long as you want and need.<br /><br /></p>

<p>Awesome news, amazing what you do for us and for the world of combat sim!!!</p>

<p>Very quick update: code has been frozen for a while, so far no critical reports. All bugs reported will wait for a future update (yes, there are quite a bunch of them, but they can wait). I’ve been playing MP campaign frequently with 2-6 players, so far so good. We are mainly in test phase now and some internal matters are being sorted out.<br /><br />If nothing else critical shows up in the next few days, we can pack and get our blessing. Don’t expect anything in the next few days, though. There is some bureaucracy work that needs to be done, so this will still take a couple of weeks.</p>

<p>@Seifer <br />Thanks a lot for this new update, dear mate.<br /><br />What? Bureau@@@@######? Even here? This can’t be definitively serious. Bah.<br /><br />With best regards.</p>

<blockquote>What? Bureau@@@@######? Even here? This can’t be definitively serious. Bah.</blockquote><p>If I’m not mistaken, every time they ship a new major version of BMS, they have to get an agreement with the<br />actual licence holder of Falcon 4.0., but I’m not really sure.<br /><br />Anyway, good news Seifer and thanks for updating us. <img src=“/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f44d.png?v=opoh9i0f0lo” alt=“” class=“not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji–+1” /> </p>
