</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> please let in xonotic-0.6.0
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> It's just a game that impacts nothing else.
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> Niet.
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> That's bugfix or security fixes.
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> Well I vote to be updated, why ? global game servers are currently
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> running 0.6.0, and by personal experience over several years (omg how
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> much time wasted on this) these FPS games need to have the same
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> client/server version, in some cases different versions won't work at
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> all (ie. Urban Terror 3.7 -&gt; 4.0 -&gt; 4.1, Warsow 0.5 -&gt; 0.8 etc).
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> I just did the test of running a 0.5.0 client on a 0.6.0 server and it
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> works, but a big and annoying yellow announce floats across the screen
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> remaining you that a new version is available. I also talked with one
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> dev over IRC and he told me that there could be issues when running
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> different client/server versions.
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> So just to be on the safe side this new version should be pushed. If
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> not then probably we will need to do it later as an update if any
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> problems arise. I commit my self to test the new version, I know very
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> well how this game works.
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> IINM we have some kind of exception regarding games for their client/server 
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> relation regarding updates vs backports? if so, then perhaps we could have the 
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> same policy wrt updates to version freeze?
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Yes, we do. Version policy (i.e. no-new-versions-in-updates policy) has
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> an exception for &quot;Software that is version-bound to an online service
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> (games, virus scanners?) and will only work with the latest version.&quot;
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> This doesn't 100% fit xonotic, though, as online play doesn't *require*
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> a specific version. However, as it does impede the online playing
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> experience and (AFAIU) online-play is a significant part of xonotic, I'd
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> side on the 'update' verdict here.
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> What do other people think regarding this aspect?
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> If this is the case, then I say that xonotic should be allowed to be updated.
</I>I'm not about to be okay with that, a version Freeze only accepts
updates on bug fixes and security warnings, so RC to Release is OK but
not to revision's change, otherwise that would mean that if fate xonotic
in version 0.7 just before the Release we should built.
To me this should be pushed Backport, to limit the update after Release

Cheers
Xavier
