I reckon we "need" only save 1 win + linux + mac build / year, or something. If I remember correctly, robn did builds every night, or every time stuff was merged. I remember we had the "luxury" problem of only being able to make one release / day (since release was date stamped)....

robn notified us that Sourceforge told him they will remove our old builds on sourceforge. He will not take any action, thus it will default to purge.

Do we want to preserve any of these builds?

If so, to where?

"We’ve removed the four-pole composite video and analogue audio jack from the board."

Buuu! That's how I connected it to my CRT TV/monitor.

Got me thinking of Dwarf Fortress, where the whole point of playing seems to be to then share epic story / log of unbelievable things happening, and building up a rich and deep story.

So a stats-tab? Why not? Note: the three tabs is a hack because we already had three tables that stored data on each jump, as of several years ago, but they were never used for anything (I think they were meant to be there if any mission scripter needed them), so I just barfed them out to three tabs...
