nice – i like having these kind of posts here 🙂 i dont look that often at openttd.org or throught the forums to find release info 😛
I like it too. Thanks pm for supporting this journal. 🙂
Indeed, nice to have that. Except the copy&paste of the changelog. A summary would be enough or a Link to the source self. 😉
@Ammler: true. The changelog would suffice here in a more condensed form… Next time 🙂
it’s not like we have to fight with space 😛
I think we have plenty of space here =3
but finaly a version I can play online wich has all the great functions and fixes but Wich I won’t have to update evry two days
Let’s hope many more improvments wil come!
Well. we will probably play with the latest nightly every PS game, so you will have to update regularly 😛
did we ever host ps games with the same version for over more than 2 or 3 games?
