For clarity here, there are three preset build configurations:
- "deployment" (maximum efficiency build for just playing the game)
- "testing" (adds a range of test-oriented features useful to OXP developers and others, such as TAF, the console, etc.)
- "debug" (compile-your-own, only really useful for devs and people trying to track down crashes)
The change is that 1.77/1.78 will (on current plans, anyway) be built in "deployment" configuration by default, rather than the "testing" configuration used in 1.76, and this will be the recommended installation.
However, there will be an alternative download of the "testing" build for anyone who uses those features. I expect a lot of the people on this forum will want the "testing" build for various reasons, but the majority of the people who play Oolite won't miss the extra stuff and might appreciate a better framerate.
