Fwd: [ggz-announce] GGZ Gaming Zone Snapshot 0.99.1

[Josef Spillner <josef ggzgamingzone org>]

Hello,

the message below informs about the GGZ snapshot release. The API might still 
change here and there so it's not recommended yet to make use of it, but if 
you do, #if GGZCORE_VERSION_MINOR >= 99 will do. Feel free to give the server 
a try and tell us what you think of it and where improvements would still be 
needed.

Josef

The GGZ Gaming Zone Project is happy to announce an important milestone
on the way to GGZ 1.0: One year after GGZ 0.0.14 was released, a
snapshot for developers is now available, comprising some of the base
components of GGZ:
* libggz 0.99.1
* ggz-client-libs 0.99.1
* ggz-txt-client 0.99.1
* ggz-server 0.99.1

Those four packages make up about one third of the GGZ codebase. Later
snapshots will add additional packages, especially for development in
C++, Python and Ruby in addition to C. In addition, GGZ libraries are
included with KDE 4.0 and GNOME 2.20 and will soon offer more online
gaming facilities for free desktop games.

The snapshot series information page is available at:
	http://www.ggzgamingzone.org/releases/snapshot/

The changes so far in the four packages is summarised in the NEWS file:
	http://svn.ggzgamingzone.org/trac.cgi/browser/trunk/ggzd/NEWS

Packages can be downloaded already from:
	ftp://mirrors.dotsrc.org/ggzgamingzone/ggz/snapshots/

Meanwhile, critical bugfixes continue to be backported to the stable
ggz-0-0-14 branch in SVN, which is still the recommended version for
distributions.
