Yes! We're at the Release Candidate stage!

To coincide with the Mac OS X release candidate, here is the Linux RC containing all of the updates (except OS X specific) that the 1.62 OS X pre-release contains.

Play testing so far is showing good results with this build; I had a good long game (including being jumped by fifteen squillion Eagle fighers) and did not encounter any memory gobbling bugs or crashes. There are two issues at present: the Trumbles graphic (when you are offered them by the dealer - the new box graphic) isn't showing, and Thargoids are saying unusual things when they die (well, more unusual than what they normally say - i.e. things like just the word "famous"). The incorrect message when equipment is destroyed has been fixed, though.

Get it from the usual places:

rsync://rsync.alioth.net/oolite-linux-dev/i386/

It strikes me this could happen if either the entry in descriptions.plist for thargoid_curses or the shipdata.plist entry for the thargoid's death_actions became corrupted so they did not match.

It may be worth checking. An OXP with a similar error might also cause this.

I'm having problems updating with rsync:

Those are Vim backup files. Grr. They shouldn't be there.

Try it now, they are deleted.

Hrm. The Thargoids are all saying the 'right' thing now without me going to fix anything. Strange.

RC2 is now out. It contains all of Giles's fixes for the OS X rc2. Get it from the normal places (see the top of this thread).
