[size=75]Can we consider it as “official” 0.74b dev.release and test/report based on it, or do you prefer that we continue testing on 0.74?[/size][/quote]

[size=75]Use 0.74 if possible, especially for crashbugs. This 0.74b was a quick build to allow testing the console, I haven’t stored debug symbols for this build, so dumps from it would be worthless. However it can be used to check if issues said to be fixed are really fixed. If you notice by the way any new regressions, please also report them.

I’m still going to make “real” dev release, with more fixes and changelog but I’m now unable to say when it’ll be ready. (Time, time, time… and there are still a lot of things I want to do).[/size]

[size=84]The PC issue you had must have been quite a blow, which now probably makes December 1st a deadline pretty hard to meet for 0.75 (surely not with all the features you may have had in mind for it). However, just in case you are still considering it, here is what I could do from my part:

If you manage to prepare 0.73c with debug symbols and latest fixes (plus fix for #223) by Thursday, from Thursday evening till Sunday evening I have a free long week-end, which I could spend checking each and every of the bugs reported as fixed. Probably I’ll even have time to check all other items reported as implemented. And on the way I’m sure I’d spot any other major bugs still in there (I’m planning for 20-30h of thorough testing). If you and/or the other devs would be around to fix what can be still fixed, then we may be able to release a pretty bug-free 0.75 on December 1st. If we manage that, the testers may have a VCMI they could enjoy during the holidays and happy-hunt for minor bugs, and you may have a more relaxed time to work on the major features you have in mind for 0.8, without being “bugged” by crash reports and requests for dev. releases due to annoying bugs.

Of course, that may be just a hypothetic scenario, as I’m totally unaware of the time (and not only) resources that you may have these days. Otherwise, if there’s anything else I can help with, let me know… [/size]
