[Scummvm-devel] ScummVM 1.1.0 has been tagged

[Filippos Karapetis]

Do these regressions make the games in question unplayable and/or severely crippled?
If not, then we can just put them in the README/news under a "known bugs" category - all software, commercial or not, has such a category in each release, reserved for bugsor glitches which are known, not very severe and quite time-consuming to fix.
In any case, peres doesn't have enough time to work on these bugs, so in my opinionit would be best to release ScummVM in the regular release cycle (i.e. every 6 months),so that more people can test it and play around with it. Therefore I'm all for releasinga stable release now, mentioning the known regressions, and hopefully have them fixedin the next stable release.
Out of curiosity: if we know the commits that broke Nippon Safes and introduced theseregressions, can't we #ifdef the offending code for the stable release, and put the oldworking code in? (at least I think this is doable for the sound loop regression in theAmiga version, since that's a 1-line change).
