New Development Release 0.49.1
Welcome to 0.49.1 this release is all about bug fixes. Our 0.49.0 release was a very buggy release and while this release fixes a lot of bugs, expect bugs to continue for the next few releases. With all the new stuff in (and planned) for 0.49.x it will take us time to find and fix them all. But players that have been using the nightly builds are reporting things very improved over 0.49.0
MegaMek and Java 11
We’ve have officially made the change to Java 11, meaning to use the
0.49.x Development branch you’ll need to update.
Due to changes in downloading Java that Oracle has made, we are recommending
players use OpenJDK 11. We have a help page
for windows and
macOS. For Linux, you should be able
to user your package manager to install OpenJDK from their repositories.
As mentioned nothing but bug fixes and some new sprites and maps.
MegaMekLab
No changes from Stable 0.48.0
MekHQ
Bug fixes and continued improvements to Stratcon. Not sure what Stratcon is SEE HERE
We are also happy to announce we have an
Official MegaMek Discord. It will function like our
Slack but gives us better voice support for those who use the
official public servers.
Also a reminder to drop into the Slack channel to meet other
players and harass the Devs that drop in and out. If Slack isn’t your thing check out
these Discords with MegaMek channels -
Everything BattleTech and
Classic BattleTech.
Facebook - MegaMek BattleTech and
MegaMek
FOR MAC USERS
We think we now have a workaround for macOS.
Another reminder when moving between versions:
- Make backups of your campaigns and customs.
- Always treat each release as a stand alone release and only copy your data forward from older versions.
