This is really just a developer build, but still being in a transition state between Jenkins masters regarding to where the game launcher gets its releases from we don't do get a whole lot of dev builds out either, so it might as well be a release candidate! But it also definitely isn't a "stable" (lulz) release like our usual ones are meant to be (in our dreams, at least!)

But it is something, and it contains a ton of work, fixes, GSOC/TSOC, and more. JoshariasSurvival works (at least in single player) and is more deadly (watch out for signs that you're overheating or dying from cold!), MetalRenegades seems fairly stable even in multiplayer, and the same can be said for LightAndShadow which now has a neato new end game screen and other UI/UX improvements by Stefania (only a hosting player can restart gracefully at present though)

  • Caves rework by 4D
  • FlowingLiquids has been improved further and FallingBlocks is a thing now (for, well, falling blocks if they lack support), also by 4D
  • WeatherManger is getting really awesome, just still doesn't work reliably in multiplayer, RatMoleRat has been working on it as part of TSOC
  • ktksan's biome GSOC added to JoshariasSurvival (watch that temperature!)
    • See https://www.twitch.tv/videos/698367440?t=00h22m44s for an updated playthrough with deer hunting etc to help craft stuff to survive
    • Note: JS may hit severe performance issues until we stabilize this further, particularly in multiplayer. This seems fairly erratic. Sometimes it works great sometimes the world never loads, the host player may stall as a 2nd client connects, etc.
  • Lots of other GSOC/TSOC work of course

List is laughably incomplete and will hopefully be updated later. See also the Roadmap Trello in particular the GSOC+TSOC 2020 lists, in progress, and v4 ready. Which is also pretty incomplete, we still badly need somebody dedicated to track all that stuff 🤔
