506.1242 (Notes)

Many multithread fixes. We'd appreciate feedback on those testing large games with threads enabled. Really want to get this stable!

506.1243 (Notes)

This version includes some server optimizations that will hopefully improve larger games. It also has prepwork for the aforementioned modern compiler, and we will provide a version of that build (VS2013) for testing tomorrow.

This is still considered "beta" but it should be stable, and we will move it onto the stable track in a few days if there are no major complaints (so please speak up).

We've elected to _disable_ the multithreading by default, once again, since it is _still_ quite buggy. That said, we'd still really appreciate further testing on this, so for those of you willing to help, you can re-enable the multithreading either on the command line via:
DreamDaemon [game] [port] -threads on -map-threads on ...

or in your daemon.txt:
threads on
map-threads on

You can omit the 'map-threads' if you want to test the level-1 threading only. Do this if you experience problems with the 'map-threads on' so we can isolate.

We have compiled a version of the windows BYOND using the newer VS2013 compiler, which will give us much better third-party support down the line (with the initial project being to explore ChromeEmbedded to replace the built in IE webbrowser control). This version should work for WinXP SP3 / Win7 / Win8.

This may be found under the Beta section of the download page ("updated toolset") or directly here: http://www.byond.com/download/build/506/ 506.1243_byond_mfc120.zip

Simply install it alongside your existing BYOND (on your Desktop or whatever). Please let us know if it works.

In response to Tom
507.1248 (Notes)

Windows beta test, at the bottom. Linux & BSD forthcoming, as well as a small post.

Note that this has been compiled under VS2013, which will be our future compiler for all windows builds. It requires XP SP3 at a minimum. This will give us better options for third-party support in the future.

507.1249 (Notes)

First round of fixes (No notes on doc yet, but you can just look in the beta bugs forum for fixes).
Aug 30 2014, 1:43 pm
507.1250 (Notes)

More fixes. Those who downloaded earlier testing versions of this should redownload.

507.1253 (Notes)

A few big efficiency improvements. Also have located (but not yet fixed) a showstopper bug on some mobile platforms, so we're hopeful to get that working better soon.
