* The new feature "replays" produces wrong replays for network games that go unnoticed by the player. Also version changes don't invalidate old replays so they might or might not replay correctly. As replays is the most noticeable new feature I don't see a point in releasing beta5 without replays. A prominent Warning when starting a replay about those bugs might be an option in my opinion as we need to show progress. |

* Online games can still desync, with some difference in building priorities. A nice feature to have when debugging desyncs like this would be human-readable replays, but the replay engine as it is now would need to know that the replays will be saved in human-readable form in advance in order to be able to do so, or a major rewrite would be needed. Also, "human-readable" is only slightly readable. |

* there was something more. please spend an hour on reading the most recent mailing list posts prior to releasing beta5! |

Revision as of 08:41, 26 July 2010
Things left to do prior to releasing beta5:
- Beta5 is in feature freeze so any new features will earliest go into beta6
- Beta5 is still open for translations and slight modifications in the map files
- The new feature "replays" produces wrong replays for network games that go unnoticed by the player. Also version changes don't invalidate old replays so they might or might not replay correctly. As replays is the most noticeable new feature I don't see a point in releasing beta5 without replays. A prominent Warning when starting a replay about those bugs might be an option in my opinion as we need to show progress.
- Online games can still desync, with some difference in building priorities.
