[!] Attention! Online play in HotA with HD+ is only possible if all players are using 4.100 RC10 or higher.
[-] Bug: It was possible to dismiss the last stack of creatures in the hero window. [-] Bug: The info panel in the adventure window showed the incorrect amount of mana added to the hero if Intelligence was the first skill in the list of learned skills. [-] Bug: In the info panel of the adventure window, it was possible to control the army in an allied city. [-] The original bug has been fixed again (the fix was lost in one of the updates): crash when viewing a turn if the pink player had previously dropped out without managing to capture a city within 7 days. [-] HD+ bug: In auto-battle, the player did not use magic even when the corresponding option was enabled. [-] HD+ bug: When replaying a battle, the secondary skills of the AI hero were not reset after his victory. [-] OH bug: After completing the OH by date, the "end turn" button could be available for the blue player who was waiting for their turn. [-] Bug: The end date of the OH could be displayed incorrectly in the scenario information. [ ] Changes for compatibility with a future version of HotA (fixing the effect of the "water of life" not being reset for the blue player during OH)
[-] Fixed a bug in HotA: after completing a HotA game by date, the "end turn" button could be available for the blue player who was waiting for their turn. [-] HotA: fixed a bug that prevented playing online without HotA and a number of related HotA bugs. [ ] Changes for compatibility with a future version of HotA (fixed the issue of the "water of life" effect not being reset for the blue player in HotA).
[-] bug: with varying probability (on some systems up to 100%), the game could close upon startup with the message "Unable to initialize resources - possible disc problem."
HotA: [!] Attention! Network play in HotA with HD+ is only possible if all players are using 4.200 beta 1 or higher. [-] Some HotA bugs have been fixed. [+][!] Simultaneous turn is available for any number of players of any color. [+] New display timer. [ ] changes for compatibility with a future version of HotA
The beta status is only because I don't have the time right now that I usually spend on testing before release. In any case, the reworked HotA needs to be tested, including for 2 players.
[ ] Now, the brief information about the number of players and map sizes is displayed more accurately in the template name, plus the information about the sizes changes depending on the selected water abundance (this was actually done in beta 1) in the RMG settings. [ ] In the RMG settings window, it is now absolutely impossible to select non-working settings. (now H, XH, G map sizes are fully correctly taken into account; buttons for invalid sizes and quantities become unavailable; unlike previous versions, map sizes are correctly compared, for example, L+U is larger than XL) [ ] A player who joins the game now sees which template and which roads the host chooses, i.e., they no longer see the original RMG settings window. [-] fixed a bug with the overview in Overlord mode [ ] changes for compatibility with the future version of HotA
***
In the final version, a number of new features will also be transferred to SoD (new displayed timer, RMG settings)

In general, I shouldn't be releasing these betas, as absolutely no one looks at them or tests them. Since there have been no crash reports or complaints in a month, I will assume that everything works perfectly and I will add all the latest new features to the final release without additional testing.
It's better to provide test versions to specific players after предварительная agreement with them about what they will test. Apparently, everyone thinks that the software will be tested without them :)
Or, yes, just release it directly in the official version.

I think these releases should be included in automatic updates. Not everyone follows the website and new patches to specifically look for and test them.

Exactly, either mandatory auto-updates or... otherwise, everyone will have different versions :) For the player, the most important thing is that the compatibility of previously saved games is not affected by this.

The save format is changed drastically (with no possibility to load old saves) only in case of extreme necessity. The last time such a necessity arose was a long time ago, after I accidentally released a debug version that automatically inserted passwords.
It also rarely happens that the save format changes slightly, but the ability to load a game from an older version is preserved!

Today, Vitaly and I were playing, and we still couldn't figure out how to do a quick restart. Of course, we both updated the mod. Or is this feature only for HotA?
