New stable release - 1.62-4

Post by winston »

Some (Oolite-Linux) specific bugs were fixed in -dev2 and were worthwhile backporting to the stable branch so...

A new stable release is up - it is a minor bugfix release, and is 1.62-4. It is available in the usual places:
ftp://ftp.alioth.net/oolite
http://oolite-linux.berlios.de

and by running 'oolite-update' in a Terminal window (which will save you a lot of time if you already have Oolite installed).

The fixes:

- Mouse control now works correctly when you don't have a joystick
- Taking a screenshot now saves in oolite-saves rather than in the bundle directory, avoiding a crash if the game was installed system-wide
- Giles's AI stack overflow check backported so the game throws an exception instead of using up all the memory in the instance the AI runs away with itself
