Release Notes

This is Release 0.2.9.3.0 from the 0.2.9 branch of development. Our current releases are derived from here.

It’s all libxml’s fault

The main reason for this release is that the default installation of libxml removed http fetch functions we were using, and that starts appearing in mainstream Linux distributions now, such as Ubuntu 26.10. On such systems, we now use libcurl as a replacement. Binary builds are unchanged, they still use the old libxml.

But hey, you also get a better framerate indicator. And it seems the bugs Alex Bagnall fixed made the bots a little more competent.
