Do these regressions make the games in question unplayable and/or severely crippled?<div><br></div><div>If not, then we can just put them in the README/news under a "known bugs" category - </div><div>all software, commercial or not, has such a category in each release, reserved for bugs</div><div>or glitches which are known, not very severe and quite time-consuming to fix.</div><div><br></div><div>In any case, peres doesn't have enough time to work on these bugs, so in my opinion</div><div>it would be best to release ScummVM in the regular release cycle (i.e. every 6 months),</div><div>so that more people can test it and play around with it. Therefore I'm all for releasing</div><div>a stable release now, mentioning the known regressions, and hopefully have them fixed</div><div>in the next stable release.</div><div><br></div><div>Out of curiosity: if we know the commits that broke Nippon Safes and introduced these</div><div>regressions, can't we #ifdef the offending code for the stable release, and put the old</div><div>working code in? (at least I think this is doable for the sound loop regression in the</div><div>Amiga version, since that's a 1-line change).</div><div><br></div><div>Regards</div><div id="aeaoofnhgocdbnbeljkmbjdmhbcokfdb-mousedown">Filippos</div><div id="aeaoofnhgocdbnbeljkmbjdmhbcokfdb-mousedown"><br><br>> Date: Thu, 1 Apr 2010 11:11:55 +0200<br>> From: eriktorbjorn@telia.com<br>> To: max@quendi.de<br>> CC: scummvm-devel@lists.sourceforge.net; kirben@optusnet.com.au<br>> Subject: Re: [Scummvm-devel] ScummVM 1.1.0 has been tagged<br>> <br>> Max Horn wrote:<br>> <br>> > (Where "all open regressions means" all bug repots of priority >= 7;<br>> > everybody is asked to add other items to the list of regressions)<br>> <br>> We have a whole bunch of priority >= 7 bugs, but are all of them really<br>> regressions?
