> Any objections to a Friday release?

Excuuuse me, I think you mean "Any objections to a Friday release candidate?"

Anyway, yes I do; I've been meaning to post the following, Things To Be Done
Before Release:

-change resetgame
-change get/setboxborder
 (since these are breaking changes, they really should be done before the next
stable release)
-determine whether the default graphics backend should be changed to gfx_sdl.
(bug 766, bug Complaints of phantom keypresses when using gfx_fb are coming in
thick, and faster all the time; so far I only know of one person who actually
tried an alternative backend (and said that fixed the problem).
In addition since gfx_directx is done, and is far superior to all other
backends, it would be great to see whether we can use it by default, and fall
back to something else if the user doesn't have DirectX 9 support. This is
definitely worth delaying release for a couple days for.
-I have not filed it on bugzilla, but NP and I ran into what appears to be
another slice tree memory corruption bug while testing the A* pathfinding
scripts for his game. I just keep getting distracted.
-Add an error reporting level selection in Custom. I'm actually very pleased
with how much easier it's become to debug scripts - as long as you use the
-errlvl commandline option.
-I was going to add "Fix the current directory problem properly", although it's
not very important. The problem was that the current directory is used for many
different things: placing the log files, the default import directory when
browsing, the export directory for screenshots, tilesets, textboxes, etc, and
who knows what else. Changing the current directory was the wrong solution,
instead the current directory shouldn't be used.


I've got several large things in progress in my working copy, but which I can
finish up quickly.
