New Stable release 0.46.1 (January 2020)
« on: 17 January 2020, 12:18:27 »
While we are busy plugging away at new features over on the 0.47 branch, here is an update to the 0.46 stable branch. It does not include any of the new features since 0.46, but a slew of fixes for bugs discovered after 0.46.0 was released. Unless there is a serious bug discovered after this release, this will likely be the last release from the 0.46 branch, since the more the branches diverge the harder it is to maintain both.

As a reminder when moving between versions:
1)   Make backups of your campaigns and customs.
2)   Always treat each release as a stand alone release and only copy your data forward from older versions.
3)   This thread is for discussing the release. Bugs should be reported by opening an issue on the appropriate tracker on GitHub. Anything reported here is likely to be buried in the discussion and forgotten by the time we get a chance to work on it.

Hurrah! Cheers!

Think I'll celebrate this by spending part of this afternoon getting one of my lances scattered in pieces across a landscape again!
"That's Lieutenant Faceplant to you, Corporal!"

Things that I have learnt through clicking too fast on 'Move Done' on MegaMek: Double-check the CF of the building before jumping onto it, check artillery arrival times before standing in the neighbouring hex, and don't run across your own minefield.

"Hmm, I wonder if I can turn this into a MM map."
