    Version 92.2 (Build 333) 2017-09-05
    • Fix incorrect 91.1 Windows executable being released
    • Now compiled with luajit, should increase lua script performance by 10-40%
    • Fix crash with BOMB explosions
    • Fix particle debugging breaking .life when doing it while unpaused
    • Fix illuminati symbols appearing when rescanning stamps
    • Fix issues sampling colors on the Windows version
    • Add sim.takeSnapshot lua function
    • Fix crash in luasocket setoption function
    • Remove 'r' recording shortcut
    • Add tpt.record function to start / stop recordings


    New version, mostly to fix the Windows version being compiled with the old cross compiler instead of with msvc. This means the windows version is faster and smaller again. Last minute I also decided to use luajit. This should make scripts a lot faster. I know people have reported some strange bugs, mostly with the deco editor / crash on exit, affecting 91.1. Hopefully compiling this correctly fixes this, I have no idea. I couldn't reproduce any of them except for the high negative value bug in the deco editor.

    Edit: can confirm that one deco problem was fixed by using the correct compiler.

    I'd love to just do the scaling ourselves instead of relying on SDL's bad method of doing it. This way, the maximize button would work.

    TPT isn't always realistic, I don't think it makes sense to change POLO and URAN.

    I'm not sure what you mean, can you post an example save or describe it more? (or show what a fix would be)

    v92.2 linux binary is broken.

    ./powder64: error while loading shared libraries: libluajit-5.1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

     

    link it statically plz, this package isn't included in standard distros.

    Very strange that it wasn't already static, I compiled it myself. Probably should have checked that to make sure though

    Version 92.3 out. luajit is now properly static in the Mac and Linux versions. This has been released as a beta. To enroll in beta updates, go to your profile settings

    someone on a mac please test this and report results, so I can release it as an official version

    Edit: It wasn't tested, but I released it anyway

    The page counter at the bottom of the favorites menu shows more pages than are actually there.

    That happens when saves you have favorited get deleted. It's a server-side glitch, so I can't do anything about it.
