Sorry, cheat keys are gone again. :~)

As I've been saying on nearly every build, the UPGRADE INSTALLER WILL OVERWRITE YOUR DATA. I think maybe some people are copying their .dat files from a previous build into the current build directory. I can't blame you for trying, but it will just cause you data problems since our latest builds require .dat files to be in a matching format. To do it properly, see instructions for getting your data imported from a previous build in the "Testers please" post. Hopefully, the data format will stabilize soon and we will be able to have upgrades that don't require this hullabulloo.

The build 30 upgrade installer will upgrade from build 27 or greater. If you have an earlier build installed (or no build), you'll need to run the full install.

About the new multi-line text editing box...

There are some nitpicky things about it that are going to be different than what you are used to in Windows or whatever O/S. Since we are short on time, I would like it if you would consider just the following criteria when evaluating it:

1. Am I able to edit my text without problems?
2. Is there anything confusing or unfriendly about how it works?

Left off this list:

3. Does it work like the text box I usually get?
4. Does it have all the editing functionality I would like to have--i.e. copy/paste, control keys, etc?

These last two we will get to later. We are battling for our release now!

We think these bugs were fixed in build 30. Please tell us if you think they still need work.

I believe the sound doesn't work in build 30. This is a known issue that will be fixed in build 31.

In that case, I'll skip build 30. Smashing roaches without the "splat" sound is no fun.
