Being informed of updates to the snapshot builds

Post by MagikGimp »

Hi all,

Is there an Exult mailing-list or RSS feed or something informing everyone when there's a new snapshot build to be downloaded? The updates seem pretty regular so it'd be handy to know when there's one without having to check the page every time I want to play the game.

I checked on Sourceforge but it seems you can only sign up to a feed for the 1.2 files (useless) as the snapshot builds aren't listed there. Am I not looking in the right place or is this indeed the case?

Many thanks,
John.

Yes, snapshots are not done via the sourceforge download site but our download site(see the links on top of the page, on the download site scroll down to the snapshots.
There is no feed for this, but Windows snapsots are done on the following day of changes to the source, sometimes, pretty much a couple of hours after a change.
Mac snapshots are done on a not so regular basis, because a) osx snapshots are not yet automated and need some manual work and b) it depends on me being on my mac machine which is currently (until the 12th) not the case.
The Windows and Mac snapshots have a time stamp, so you know when it was created/uploaded. When there is no up to date WINDOWS snapshot that mostly means there were no changes to the source since the last snapshot.

The source snapshot is probably automatically updated on source changes.

You can subscribe to our SVN Mailinglist, so you know when there have been changes to the source and to expect a new Windows snapshot (as I wrote at the latest the following day).
