Apologies, I got caught up with real life these past couple months and haven't been able to work on the release. It's still on my radar, and I'm hoping to scrounge time together to get to this soon.

I've published version 1.2.8.398 to the Caravel Games RPG web page and the forum Downloads page.

The build number is updated beyond the previous patch to match the current posted PR version of the codebase, but there should be no additional changes beyond the fixes that were made and discussed for 1.2.8 last year.

If you would, please confirm the patch installer appears to work for you.

Also, please confirm the demo version and full version installers appear to install and run the game correctly.

Following basic smoke test validation, I'll provide the new build to partner sites (e.g., GOG) and update the Steam build.

I downloaded and used the patch installer and can confirm it updated to 1.2.8.398. I did a quick basic playtest and all seemed fine.

Then I uninstalled the game (leaving all my custom files around so I wouldn't lose anything).

I downloaded and installed the demo. Can confirm it was version 1.2.8.398. Again a quick play test seemed OK. Then I unistalled that too.

Finally, I downloaded the full installer and installed it in the same location I previously had it installed, so it would pick up my old dat files. It is also 1.2.8.398 and again, a quick playtest appears fine.

Thank you, Kieran!

(You have, doubtless, a stalwart's bravery.)

Really appreciate the smoke testing. Alrighty, then! Time to get 1.2.8 released everywhere.

Thanks so much for your patience getting to this point. Now we can focus on 1.3 in earnest. (hyperme has been making some nice feature improvements to the codebase, and it's time to get out another 1.3 binary for testing.)

Matt, did you want to run any demo/version scans at this point?
