See news entry for all new features.

We are hoping to get a 8.1 bugfix release out soon, since we are streamlining the release procedure every time, so be sure to report your problems.
Parent - By Luchs Date 2018-02-04 22:01 Edited 2018-02-04 22:05
Here's a crazy commits graph I created while waiting for the release to finish :)

It shows commits per week, separated by changes to the engine (src), to objects or scenarios (planet), and other stuff (e.g. documentation).

Edit: Unfortunately, the server isn't properly configured to serve SVG files :(

And the mandatory issue tracker breakdown:

By the way, am I the only one to whom this backlog of bodensatz bugs/feature requests is somewhat of a disincentive?
Parent - - By Zapper [de] Date 2018-02-05 19:52
haha true :D

but many of those are also feature requests and not necessarily real issues with the game
Parent - - By Maikel Date 2018-02-05 20:15
Do we really have 1500 open issues?
Parent - By Newton [de] Date 2018-02-05 20:18
240
Parent - - By Clonkonaut Date 2018-02-05 23:50
I was wondering where to better put (i.e. to forget) those far-fetched feature requests from the beginning of OC when everything was 'let's make all the things we never had in CR!'.
Parent - By Newton [de] Date 2018-02-05 23:52
I'd rigorously close them. "Would", because that is up to the developers who are currently active.
Parent - - By Sven2 [us] Date 2018-02-06 03:36
We could put them somewhere else (e.g. dump them all into a wiki page or trello board), so the feature tracker becomes more manageable.
Parent - - By Zapper [de] Date 2018-02-06 08:07
How is it unmanagable?
Parent - - By Sven2 [us] Date 2018-02-06 16:59
I wouldn't say it's unmanageable right now. But it would be easier to use without all the old feature requests.
Parent - - By Zapper [de] Date 2018-02-06 17:23
How? That's not meant to be sarcastic or anything. Do you mean that you find feature requests when using the search and that's unwanted?

If that's the case, we could put all old feature requests to priority "none". Then they could be excluded from the search
Parent - By Sven2 [us] Date 2018-02-07 04:50
No, but they show up whenever you just reset filters to default, and they show up in the burndown charts. They're just annoying if you are a perfectionist and want to reach something like "Zero issues open, everything green!"

>We could put them somewhere else (e.g. dump them all into a wiki page or trello board), so the feature tracker becomes more manageable.


Even the trello boards are like over flooded, right? And we have several of them. It probably would not be too bad to restructure them somehow.

This also can be answered to Zappers post, but I can really see why it can be unhandy to have the important and the trivial, the bugs and the features, the wildest ideas and the must dos all together in one place. We probably could separate them.

If we continue to work with trello (and we didn't for the last year or so), how about we structure it in a way that all the features and wishes are excluded from the normal working environment?
Parent - By Marky [de] Date 2018-02-06 20:11
There are only 89 of them anyway, I think that is manageable in the current bug tracker.
Parent - - By Maikel Date 2018-02-06 22:52
For me it would already help a lot if this page is cleaned up.

We can remove 7.X and 8.0, it would be good to have an 8.2 and 9.1 already. Maybe we should also have a feature category which is sorted at the bottom of this page.
Parent - - By Newton [de] Date 2018-02-06 23:00
8.2 and 9.1? What for?
Parent - - By Maikel Date 2018-02-07 08:05
8.2 because this bug warrants a quick 8.1 release and then hopefully we can also do an 8.2.
Parent - - By Sven2 [us] Date 2018-02-08 02:34
Damn, we should have tested the installer :(
Parent - By Clonkonaut Date 2018-02-08 03:45
I did test it but I already had the platforms folder in my old release folder :(!
Parent - - By K-Pone [de] Date 2018-02-08 18:12
We should fix it quickly I guess. (...since we hyped this feature in the past and now it's not working properly in release...)
Parent - - By Caesar [jp] Date 2018-02-10 02:23
So, who is going to do that, and when? (I'd like to avoid having our Linux maintainers do two version bumps in a short time…)
Parent - - By Clonkonaut Date 2018-02-10 13:31
Personally, I don't really know how to fix this. :/
Parent - - By Sven2 [us] Date 2018-02-10 20:22
For Windows, just add the folder to the installer script here: https://git.openclonk.org/openclonk.git/blob/HEAD:/tools/install/oc.nsi

I don't know if there's anything to be done for Linux and/or Mac.
Parent - By K-Pone [de] Date 2018-02-11 00:18
Linux users reported it to be working properly out of the box. I might check that on a fresh Ubuntu/Debian/<insert distro here> Linux VM if necessary.
Parent - - By Luchs [de] Date 2018-02-11 09:00
Someone should merge this pull request so that it's actually possible to build on Mac, although more work by some Mac developer is necessary to fix the game itself.
Parent - - By Clonkonaut Date 2018-02-11 11:57
In that case, we only need to find a Mac developer!
Parent - - By Caesar [jp] Date 2018-02-12 02:35
Why? The patch doesn't look like it would make anything worse. Why not just merge it? What do we have to lose?
Parent - By Clonkonaut Date 2018-02-12 02:40
I meant after we applied the patch.
Parent - - By Clonkonaut Date 2018-02-11 13:52
Hm, yeah. I had a look at it and I have no idea how this would work. Where do the files come from that the installer installs? Don't you have to tell any kind of routine that constructs the installer to add all the qt files? Where are these located during the process?
Parent - By Sven2 [us] Date 2018-02-12 02:28
I would assume that make setup should create the files as part of the openclonk build. I will look into it; just have to revive my Windows laptop.
Parent - - By Zapper [de] Date 2018-02-06 23:45
Who is an admin in the issue tracker?
Parent - By Newton [de] Date 2018-02-06 23:49
I am
Parent - - By B_E [de] Date 2018-02-04 22:21
Has the the tarball been intentionally omitted? It was dropped between 7.0 and 8.0
Parent - By Maikel Date 2018-02-04 22:27
It needs to be added manually, which might take a little.
Parent - - By Luchs Date 2018-02-04 22:31
You can use the tarball from https://git.openclonk.org/openclonk.git/archive/openclonk-release-8.0-src.tar.bz2 or github. For 8.0, we removed unrelated files before tagging the release.
Parent - By Newton [de] Date 2018-02-05 18:30
OK!
Parent - By Newton [de] Date 2018-02-05 18:32
Wow, congratulations! :-D
Parent - - By ala [de] Date 2018-02-05 21:36
Yeah! A big thanks to all the people contributing and making 8.0 possible :)

P.S. Man, the updated music wasn't included! Guess, it will have to go into 8.1 then. Maybe that's a good reason to write more tracks after all.
Parent - By Newton [de] Date 2018-02-05 22:11
Why, the updated music is downloaded during installation from the website. Does the Music.ocg need to be updated which is provided on the website?
Parent - - By Newton [de] Date 2018-02-05 23:55
From the Music.ocg for download, 1-3 tracks from K-Pone are also missing. Tomorrow, I will pack a new Music.ocg.

Could you give me the links for the new/updated tracks that should be included?

This is what is there currently:

Parent - - By ala [de] Date 2018-02-06 09:30
Thank you, the music from me is here.

And Cavern from K-Pone, which also needs to be added to the license file.
Parent - - By Newton [de] Date 2018-02-06 23:04
Okay, download page updated. I also put a link to the popup player there, so you can all listen to the soundtrack at school/university/work :-)
Parent - By ala [de] Date 2018-02-06 23:06
Big Thanks :)
Parent - - By Caesar [jp] Date 2018-02-07 23:18
I made a little puddle in front of Gentoo's door (https://bugs.gentoo.org/646748). Any other distros/maintainers we should notify? Is pkern still around?
Parent - - By Caesar [jp] Date 2018-02-08 14:18
Yes, yes we should.
<Partmedia> Also, I maintain the FreeBSD port. Did an email to the port maintainers go out this time?
<Partmedia> I learned about 8.0 from a bot that checks for new upstream tarballs; otherwise I was quite unaware that there was 8.0.
Parent - By Caesar [jp] Date 2018-02-08 14:50 Edited 2018-02-12 02:36
I just wrote to pkern, but he probably already knows. https://qa.debian.org/cgi-bin/watch?pkg=openclonk

[Edit:] I'll just leave a transcript of the conversation here, I'll update it whenever.

Hm, wie sollte sowas aussehen? Wir hatten ein RC1 und RC2, aber das hat
vermutlich die überwachungsskripte nicht ausgelöst…

2 Jahre. ;)
Ich hab dir mal ein Dockerfile angehägt, mit dem's bei mir compiliert,
vielleicht hilft das.

Viele Grüße
