So should I wait to finish my games in 1.0 or can I move to 1.1 and finish them with it? -- To Boldly Go Where No Man Has Gone Before Top Quote

It's an explicit development aim not to break savegame and API compatibility between successive versions; if we ever have to do that again then the next version would be called 2.0. Compatibility is only guaranteed from each release to the next, so it won't be possible to load build21 saves in v1.1 or v1.0 saves in v1.2. Top Quote

You could move up to that. Top Quote

You could move up to that. It's 2024 and I'm still on Deb 10. : ) I had some grand plans on trying to catch up faster by installing 11 after a few months but that didn't happen. Anyways, 11 is as far as I'd likely go until 12 gets to something like say 12.5 or so. In any case I've now grown into flatpak and since I made the effort to figure it out a little I'll use it. It's really a good choice for Debian which rarely has up to date games. Oddly though 12 not only has the current widelands it even has the current wesnoth. I think it's just chance though. -- To Boldly Go Where No Man Has Gone Before Top Quote
