Is there a changelog for the new release?
We forgot to add it to the release, so it's on GitHub for now.

With all the patches, fixes and additions since 0.53 pre-release, shouldn't we do a proper release?

Just need some more reviewers on GitHub.

Here's the latest IVAN release, 0.54: https://github.com/Attnam/ivan/releases/tag/v054
You'll notice there's a new binary available for Mac!!! (thanks to iology (is that mimic on the forum?)
Sorry I missed my September deadline... maybe we need to replace me with Steve the Robot?

And you're much better than any Steve the Robot.

In the next IVAN version (0.55) we will have a new victory condition courtesy of red_kangaroo's latest contribution. I'm looking forward to playing that one

Shall we have a Christmas release?

Oooh, a new win condition! I am looking forward to the new release!

Shall we have a Christmas release?
Yes we will have a Christmas release. Since the mxe package server is down until further notice [0], we are unable to use our continuous integration tools to build the Windows executables. Instead, it will need to be done "old style", with someone compiling the game on a machine and releasing that. That someone will probably be me, using the msys2 compiler. Unfortunately msys2 doesn't do static compilations very well, so I will have to package a whole bunch of dlls with the exe, which may take some time. If I don't package all the dlls in the zip file, some users will report being unable to run the exe.
So, I will attempt a build by the end of the week, and once it appears can you please let me know if it works for you on your various platforms?
[0] I understand the maintainers of mxe will try to get a new package server up and running on s3 (Amazon), BUT this first requires the packages to be compiled for a suitable platform, such as debian, and that process takes over one hundred hours, a truly gargantuan task, so is unlikely to happen before Christmas. Hopefully they come up with something at least by the new year...

You're great. I never got the hang of Windows compilation.

I have run out of time today. Can someone post the changes and I will copy them to the release page?

Sadly does not seem to work on Windows 10. Prompts for a missing libpcre-1.dll, but crashes even if you download and add it separately.
Changes: * Added Freedom for Tweraif victory: It is now possible to win by bringing freedom to Tweraif, and then making sure it stays free. It is a low-ranking win, but at least your village will be safe. * Considerably reworked Lobh-se. * Added new shields, amulet, wand and artifacts. * Added several new materials. * Buffed regeneration. It now both regrows limbs and speeds up restoration of HP. * Stamina cost reworked. It will decrease more slowly, balancing powerful artificial limbs better. * Mana attribute decreases cooldown of magical items. * Scroll of body switch is once again unwishable. * Decreased frequency of magical equipment. * Improved stethoscope display. * Tweak the effects of prayers. * You may only become the champion of either Valpurus or Mortifer. * Increase effects of Wisdom on prayers. * You can now attempt to steal from shops. * Added crafting. * Move saves, bones and config to user directory. * Add LGTM code quality badges. Fixes: * Backtrace. * Broken vials are no longer fixed into bottles. * Fix wizard mode autoplay mode. * Fix heap-use-after-free in go::Handle(). * Harden bitmap::Fill(). * Fix first person being used in crafting messages. * Fix dialogue of Terra.

+1 for missing libpcre-1.dll on both Win7 and 10.

Changes: * Scroll of body switch is once again unwishable.
Well, this is a good change, but I am still pretty sad... Playing as a mistress whip champion was very fun, but overpowered as hell. I should do smth else now. Maybe a run with natural limbs or only kick run, that sound fun.
Changes: * Considerably reworked Lobh-se.
Lobh-se always seemed kinda unfinished to me... Is there a reward for killing her now?
Changes: * Added crafting.
But... Why?

Before going to kill her, cause Revolution in NA and then talk to Keathos.

I updated the release, adding libpcre-1.dll. I always miss this one for some reason. I should have checked the exe with Dependancy Walker before I shipped

Does it work for you now?

Thanks for all the hard work guys!

Dec 20, 2018, 5:22 pm
Works on Win7 now, cheers!

The next release should be back up to the usual standard. Should be out before the end of the month.
