Exactly a year since 2.44.1 was released, I've done a bit of bug fixing and released 2.44.02. Don't expect miracles, but it should be
slightly less crashy, especially for internet mode. As usual, go to the
FTP. If there's a crashing bug that I haven't fixed in this version, go ahead and post in the bugs forum and/or post in old bug reports that aren't fixed. There's still at least one simulation I'm aware of that crashes, using viruses. I might get around to improving it but no promises.
Changes:
- Bug fixes for IM
- Removed smiley mode
- Executable is much smaller since I packed it.
- Executable is available for download raw, without being wrapped in a zip (just save it to the right place and you're good to go)
- Will no longer crash when trying to remove species from an empty species list
- The vector magnitude function has been tweaked to be more robust against floating point overflows
- When IM needs to create a directory, it will alert the user that that is what is going on
- IM no longer crashes if you don't have a "transfers" folder.
- IM no longer crashes if there are too many files on the server.
- Fixed a bug where large velocities could overflow velocity sysvars and cause a crash.
