This
is
the
biggest
stable
release
for
a
long
time
with
almost
a
month
since
the
last
one
as
there
were
a
lot
of
changes
that
could
not
be
partially
implemented.
The
new
Amphibious
factory
is
arguably
the
biggest
change
and
took
significant
development
time.
This
version
also
includes
a
months
worth
of
small
fixes
and
balance
adjustments
that
is
normal
for
a
stable,
the
delay
just
means
there
are
more
of
them
at
once.

This factory should diversify and flesh out the underwater combat in sea as well as acting as another flex factory on mixed sea-land maps. There are a few new unit concepts in this factory so it may even be land viable (similar to hovercraft). Remember, at this point balance is not expected!

This release corresponds with an engine release (from 85.0 to 87.0). Here are some fixes that should be visible to players, full changelog is here https://github.com/spring/spring/blob/release/doc/changelog.txt
|
|
|
136 |
* Fix Brawler/Blackdawn weapon jam when set to hold fire.
|
|
|
137 |
* Fixed excessive unit bouncing while pathing (replaced with high frequency, inconsequential, bouncing).
|
|
|
138 |
* Fixed permanent unit speed reduction after a "move at slowest speed in selection" command (Hold Ctrl and give a move comand).
|
|
|
139 |
* Aircraft no longer take off and disappear if killed while landed.
|
|
|
140 |
* Fixed a rare bug in which antinukes would fail to fire.
|
|
|
141 |
* All terrain units no longer give up on move orders while climbing steep cliffs.
|
|
|
142 |
* All BeamLasers could shoot through the surface of the water. This has been fixed and we're lucky noone noticed. Stiletto is now significantly better against ships because previously any beam that did not score a direct hit would explode on the sea floor. Now they explode on the sea surface so can hit via AOE.
|
|
|
143 |
* Fixed rare invulnerability that would occur if a jumpjet unit becomes paralysed at the end of it's flight.
|
|
|
144 |
* Units in transport are hittable again.
|
|
|
145 |
* Reduced occurrence of jumpjet units becoming stuck on opponents.
|
|
|
146 |
* Units under construction within factories are much easier to select.
