Something came up, and I won't have time to produce the RC1 builds on Thursday, so I've postponed RC1, but only until Friday.

New deadline for RC1: Friday, July 10th 2020, 10am UTC

Everything else remains unchanged.

Suggestions for Key Changes would be useful.

At a quick glance what you've included looks reasonable. If no more suggestions come in, looks good enough for me.

Important update: Fixes for all pending issues have been merged and cherry picked, the last one was #3081 . As that isn't a complete and proper fix for 3042 , #3042 will stay open and get assigned to the post release milestone, provided #3081 actually did fix #3042 sufficiently for the release. Ther...

I used Framasoft's instance of Jitsi Meet (framatalk.org) on Firefox and didn't notice a problem ? Apparently Firefox implemented WebRTC differently, and that allegedly can cause problems (not only for the one using FF, but for the other participants of a group call as well). The only thing I exper...

I'll delay this weeks pre-release test builds, so that maybe #3087 can go in before. Currently the changes since the last test builds aren't that much, with #3087 at least another bugfix would be included.

AFAIK, chromium based browsers strongly recommended. Firefox has issues.

Amen. I'll make a PR for Experimentors changes only.
Players can always adjust cost factors easily to accelerate or decelerate game progress.

Thanks!

Future process improvement: make master insufferable to use during releases.

I LIKE that idea!

Wouldn't it be sufficient/better for the 0.4.10 release to just adjust the parameters for the Experimentors? So that they appear at later turns and/or with less monsters. I'm a bit wary about tinkering with the default scaling factors, as that might need even more subsequent balancing adjustments. A...

Update: We still got one open PR ( #3044 , which will hopefully be merged soon) and two open issues ( #3042 and #3059 ) which need to be addressed for 0.4.10. Please focus your efforts on fixing these remaining issues. Also, to all our playtesters, please focus your playtesting efforts on the pre-re...
