Weekly Release Notes / Up-to-date Test Snap

[Ophiuchus]

This is the current build of freeorion master branch (~160MB) as a snap published on https://snapcraft.io/freeorion

Install via root/sudo:

Code: Select all

snap install --beta freeorion

Run via

Code: Select all

snap run freeorion.freeorion

or simply

Code: Select all

freeorion

Update if a new version comes out or switch to this build:

Code: Select all

snap refresh --beta freeorion

Remove if you want to free the space:

Code: Select all

snap remove freeorion

I will push weekly builds using the same revision as the other test builds to channel 'beta' (probably mondays or tuesdays).

The current official release is available at the channel 'stable' instead
There may be more recent builds at unpredictable times at channel 'edge'.
In a coming official snap I want to automatically push the current successful build of master branch to the edge channel.

edit1: info about weekly builds going to --beta, releases to --stable and the intenteded use of the --edge channel for inbetween builds

edit2: use freeorion name instead of freeorion-agrrr3 ; remove last revision 2019-01-14.076fc4b

edit3: add url https://snapcraft.io/freeorion

Looks like PPA info should be updated as well.

You mean adding o01eg's PPA?

Yes, PPA mentioned on the page is too old.

[Vezzra]

Ok, I've edited that section on the "Download" wiki page and added a link to the "Ubuntu PPA" forum thread. Are these changes ok?

[Ophiuchus]

Released weekly test build:

freeorion 2019-02-03.23f627b rev=8 channel=beta

[Ophiuchus]

Released weekly test build:

freeorion 2019-02-11.d02d04f rev=9 channel=beta

Some changes for FOCS scripters:

• Added CombatTarget condition, which (similar to Location condition) matches objects that are matched by the combat targets condition of the specified content (by Geoff). I think this is a preparation for species also getting a combat target condition to be able to compose target conditions in weapon parts.

Some changes for players:

• Multiplayer enhancements by O01eg
• Defenseless Planets with shields get attacked again (regression bugfix) by Ophiuchus
• French stringtables update by Ouaz
