In addition to that, there's some Linux-specific changes in 1.6.6:</p> <p><ul><li>Important: There was an export bug in the Linux version of 1.6.5 that may cause import errors if you try to import the exported files. This is fixed in 1.6.6, of course. If you want to be sure not to lose any saves when upgrading, don't use export in 1.6.5. Tell the installer to not overwrite your data, or (if you've got the new requirements installed) simply download the new executable and replace the old one.</li> <li>Automatically makes writable copies of all data in $HOME/.caravel/drod-1_6 if any data is detected as read-only (can be used to automagically give every user their own copy of the dat files).</li> <li>New and better resource/data finder. DataPath.txt (a file listing where data and resources can be found) was moved to $HOME/.caravel/drod-1_6.</li> <li>Thanks to some optimization, the Linux executable is now 500k smaller! (Windows exe should be smaller as well.)</li> <li>Upgraded to SDL 1.2.7, FMOD 3.7.3, Expat 1.95.8 and Zlib 1.2.1. If you don't have these, don't worry, they're included in the installer.</li> <li>Linux installer: You can now select if you want to overwrite existing data or not (default is no). The data format didn't change during 1.6, so there's no need to overwrite unless you want fresh dats.</li></ul></p> <p>By the way, if you want to do automated installs, the Linux installer has some options that can help you out. Run "./CDROD-1.6.6-setup.sh.bin -- --help" for a list."</i></p></ul> | DROD 1.6.6: Architects' Edition | updated | DROD |
