Dear God...
"d00d!!11! LIEK THAR IS TEH NEW VARSION 1.0951672893473281748923164782614[/b/! LIEK ITZ WAY BETTAR THAN 1.0951672893473281748923164782613! U R TEH LOOOOOSE!"
Seriously, all these tiny updates are fucking retarded. If it was an automated process, like "Software update" then it would be fine... but I don't think that's realistic for SRB2.
I refuse to upgrade until I see a reason to, for example new Single Player levels, or a version that won't totally ruin compatibility with the existing WADs I love to play.
I wouldn't bitch about this if it wasn't for the compatibility issues, like these ones. New versions are fine, new versions with extremely few changes that ruin compatibility are not fine.
I can't keep updating the mac version to my server-that ruins my bandwidth, and it's all to assure compatibility with WADs and multiplayer?
>_>
Not fun.

They're included in 1.09.3.10 too. All you have to do is run the 1092 to 1093 patch, then unzip the 1.09.3.X ZIP file, whichever one is the current one. All the ZIP does is extract the current EXE and PLR files.GCFreak said:
Basically, here's what's going on: We're releasing a bunch of incremental versions in an attempt to make sure 1.09.4 is as bugfree as possible. You know how everyone is always drooling over betas. Well, that's what 1.09.3 is. Help us beta test it, and therefore, when 1.09.4 comes out, it'll have less bugs. 1.09.4 really will be the last release before 1.1, so if you want it to not be buggy, here is your chance.

These new versions are not intended to be full upgrades - I believe AJ himself uses the 'this is a beta version' caveat, and is the reason that this is not on the main website. Much like a public test server for an MMORPG, it is running new (and potentially buggy) EXEs that require wide-scale testing. It is very strongly advised that you keep a spare copy of 1.09.2 for playing a majority of netgames - as such, for your MAC port, I'd also strongly suggest waiting until you the 'official' 1.09.4 is released. ;)

The features are required for continued enjoyment of multiplayer content, and some of the features are very useful for us (such as custom axes in NiGHTS levels), and make for more exciting levels. We could theoretically bang them out in a few days, but they'd be of poor quality and wouldn't really have any specific set pieces or unique enemies (yes, the game ISN'T going to be comprised entirely of Crawlas, Buzzies, Jetty-Synns and Eggmen =P) which is what we're really looking for.

Well, Mystic has said SRB2 is Sonic-2-with-the-best-of-3 in it and both of those had a lot more variety in enemies than just the amount of enemies in SRB2, ATM. ;)

But why can't they do what Mystic did in Mystic Realm? He started off by making some quick levels, but later he fixed them up a bit.
