OpenTTD 1.0.1 RC 1
Posted: 18 Apr 2010 00:21
More users result in more bugreports, which result in more bug fixes, which result in more releases. So, it's time for the first release candidate for 1.0.1 
For the new users, who are not yet aware of OpenTTD's versioning schema: 1.0.1 is going to be a bugfix release, so do not expect any big features.
You can find the download in the usual place at the top of http://www.openttd.org, and next to the download you can also find the changelog. Most noticeable are some desync fixes. So please help testing the release candidate, so 1.0.1 becomes as stable as possible.
Finally a note for some Unix/Linux/OSX users:
Content download will not work for users of zlib 1.2.3.5 to 1.2.4. Either downgrade zlib, or wait for the next release of zlib which is said to be expected in a few days. This issue affects all versions of OpenTTD that have content downloading, i.e. everything since 0.7.0.
Users of our precompiled Windows binaries are not affected by this.
