1.08.02 issues

[MarshallEllis]

Hey guys:

I have found some naval problems (thanks to a few brave souls) that have been created by 1.08.02 so I am creating a 1.08.03 image. This will slow the general release a bit but the naval issues (And perhaps a few PBEM combat issues I am looking into) are too major to release! Apologize for the delay!

Hey guys:

I've identified and fixed a few issues that I seem to have created in 1.08.02!

PBEM combats were hanging up at the battles conclusion and not allowing the battle to be properly ended!
Minor fleets were not attacking with their major power!
There were some repeating die rolls in AI involved battles.

I have created a 1.08.03 image today and will be submitting to the testers tonite!

Hey guys:

FYI, I have run into some potential simul diplomacy issues for PBEM in 1.08.02 and am trying to work through these for 1.08.03 which is delayed a bit now! This will be a monster version change (Going to 1.08) so I really want to this be a little cleaner than what it is today!

Thank you for your patience!

Marshall, I know I've asked you this before but can we please have a longer run at testing 1.08 (03 or 04 or whatever) before it goes to "final" release? I'm finding many bugs in PBEM 1.07 that I wasn't able to identify playing solo. I think the same is likely with 1.08. I'd rather have a few games of 1.08 going PBEM and have a few more rounds of bug fixing before we go to general release for all games.

I have a couple of games that are going to 1.08 beta, and a few that are not, but that should be a useable test group.

Is this still in the process?

I'm inclined to agree with you Del! 1.08 is a massive PBEM change and we've foud a few large gotchyas so let's do this and delay general release. 1.08.03 will be the next release which I am fixing a few things up before I public BETA.
