TTDpatch 2.5 (between releases) - r2372

[WWTBAM]

It has been about 5 years since Lakie posted his release of r1934. This version is hopefully bug free. The aim of this is to make sure there are no bugs left that weren't reported to the bug tracker before Josef posts it as a Stable on the website. Any version of ttdpbase(w).grf since the version that came with Lakie's r1934 download will work with this build. A changelog will be uploaded later today.

Edit: Attatched changelog.

[WWTBAM]

Can anyone who has downloaded it comment on how it reported that version information was known or not. There should be no bugs left, so I would like to be able to send Josef the exes sometime tomorrow if people have no issues.

It starts fine without delays ...

I cannot really test it, as my NewGRFs are no longer compatible with v2.5 beta 9.

The (German) DOS version gives a memory protection fault:

I´m going to test the windows version later.

I think the exes I have may be broken in some way. Will investigate further in the next couple of days.

[WWTBAM]

I have rebuilt all the version information and rebuilt the exes. Can people try them again. If it says it has no version information, can you please send me the EXE. I think my DOS exes are broken. All the windows exes worked fine for me. The DOS Spanish,French and German exes tell me that there is no version information even though I built it with the version information for them.

[WWTBAM]

I have now fixed the version information for all the DOS languages and uploaded to the first post, only the DOS version is new. If no one finds any bugs in the next couple of days, I will build them again with the version string as "2.5" and send them off to Josef.
