User:Hendrik Brummermann/Temp: Difference between revisions

There have been lots of changes in many different areas. This is really cool and I am excited about them.

But I have trouble to catch up after being away for a couple of weeks. I'd like to have a release rather soon.

In my opinion we should deactivate anything for Stendhal 1.17, that is not perfect at this time. Those things can go into Stendhal 1.18. I hope to do Stendhal 1.18 a lot sooner than 1.17.

Branch creation planned for: 2015-04-09
