A new year has come, and it starts with the release of Ares 0.A, the latest version of the expansion dll for Yuri's Revenge!
Last year had only a single release, the ill-fated Ares 0.9. It was not bad in itself, just the experience I had with it was not as good as it should have been in my opinion. Anyhow, for this release cycle I was very much pleased with all the testing that happened in the last few months. Thank You all who participated to make this possible!
I'm sure you know what Ares 0.A has to offer (if not, the announcement at LaunchPad is a start), so I concentrate on the non-obvious internal bits: Ares 0.A is the most efficient release yet, with many improvements to older features and several changes to the internal structure. This means, Ares is more compact, and has a lower memory footprint than the last versions. All these optimizations sum up so Ares 0.A has an observable positive effect on game speed (compared to the previous versions).
All in all an inconspicuous release, but under the covers it's a piece of software i'm quite proud of.
Happy New Year, and also Happy Modding!
