The "latest version indication file" has been updated, which means that if anyone launches an older client, he will be bugged with a message that a newer version is ready to download and he or she should upgrade. I am also updating the website at www.apple.com so be prepared for a whole lot of newbies. (which usually don;t stick arround too long... :-( The most important fix is the "freeze" when running (Snow)Leopard AND no one is playing on any server. (Tiger users get the embedded server) So at least the players stay in control of the app (good) but the embedded server is temporarily gone until i get around to building and including it again. 1.5 will also be the last branch to support power pc, i've decided to move to snow leopard which makes it even more difficult to test PPC apps then before. I have an old G4 Cube lying around for the 1.5 branch so bugs will still be done there, but main development will shift to intel. So there is a new client out and it will draw new players, but how to see when it is time to pull out your laptop and play? well you could take out your phone and fire this app up it's just a basic app that polls the meta servers, but hey: it saves you the trouble of booting up :-) I have some plans for mactrek 1.6 but moreover, the entire network layer has been ported over and tested on iPhone, i am seriously thinking about a MacTrek app for iPhone, which will crossover in MacTrek, though the touch interface is nice, it is limited, neverthelesss, i could image a MacTrek Scout Bomber app for iPhone since scouts need less controls i think. Regards and i keep you posted, development may be slow, but it is still there..

Can you give me a summary about which platforms 1.5.0 runs on? It's universal for ppc and intel, but will it still run under tiger, or do people need 1.4 for that? --akb ps: website updated for both 1.5 and the who plays netrek iphone app, folks feel welcome to make sure I didn't botch any links...
