Is v1.76 stable or test?

Post by JazHaz »

As per the subject, is the new release of Oolite, v1.76, the non-mythical stable release, or just another test release?

Ahruman's announcement post, points to it being stable, but my log doesn't:

Code: Select all

It is stable. The "test" in the log refers to the build configuration.

I want to thank the developers for 1.76. It seems so much faster especially on Mac. The Beta versions had problems with large textures. This problem seems gone now. Fab job !

Should someone update the Wikipedia entry for Oolite accordingly?

Current content in 'History': "Current test version is 1.75.3 which was released on July 11, 2011." Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oolite_(video_game)

Also, I see there are comments in the Discussion section suggesting enhancements to the page's content.

Current content was put on by me, so I think I'll update it now! :)

edit: now updated
edit2: SandJ's link was wrong, sorted it in the quote above
