PurpleYouko:
So, Am I to assume that the total and utter lack of overflows, runtime errors and other crap being reported for V2.37.6, is an indicator that it is finally stable?  B)

Or is everybody just too lazy to comment?  <_<

shvarz:
I am very busy at work and at home.  Next week I'll have more time.  

If you have time, maybe you could move some of the more advanced controls from Nums' 2.4 version (like fancier mutation frequency).  Stuff that would still keep 2.37 as 2.37, but expand on convience.

PurpleYouko:
Nums did a bit more than just put advanced controls in the options form.

I think he re-wrote a whole bunch of the mutations code.

Numsgil:
I wouldn't recommend touching the mutations code for the weak of heart.

Had I known the sheer complexity of the code for it, I wouldn't have redone it so lightly.  There are many, many special cases that mess with them...

Anyway, it's alot of work.  Since 2.4 seems more or less stable now and you like some of its features, maybe you should upgrade?  Mmmm?

shvarz:
I am waiting for C+ port.  Besides, 2.37 has its own place.  I would not call switching to 2.4 an upgrade, but rather a move sideways.  Here are a couple of comparisons that come to mind: "Word" is not an upgrade to "Notepad", both are text editors, but one is not an upgrade from the other.  

"Civ 4" is not an upgrade from the original "Civilization".  It has better graphics and somewhat more complicated and just different rules, but the original still holds its own.  In fact, with games it works quite well.  I just finished "Dungeon Keeper", a game by Peter Molinoux from 1987, and was impressed by it much more than by its (much more recent) "B&W".

That's why I want to to just move to C+ and call it DB-III.  This way it will be clear, that it is not just an upgrade, it is a different beast.  And it will leave room for 2.37.  My guess is that the new DB will be geared much more toward evolution, so for people who just want to have a battleground with simple rules,  2.37 might be a better choice.
