NEW NEW FEDTERM FIXES SOME OF THE KNOWN BUGS

by Hazed

When we released the new version of FedTerm we gave you a list of known bugs – that is, the things we knew needed to be fixed before it could be deemed ready for proper release.

Alan has been working his way through the list and has fixed a couple of the issues, as well as some problems that we found after release, so we’ve put a new version of the program up on the test page.

The fixes are:

  • SpyNet Report: in old FedTerm when you requested a report, the name and rank of the player appeared on the title bar of the panel at the top of the screen, but new FedTerm doesn’t have that panel so there was nowhere for the info to go. It is now included in the text.
  • Dealing with logon problems: new FedTerm now copes with logon problems such as sending the wrong password.

You can download the new version of new FedTerm from the FedTerm test page – there’s an upgrade zip that just contains the program file.

If you haven’t yet tried new FedTerm, give it a go! Get the full installation from the same page.

I’ve added some new pages to the test area on the website:

  • Version notes, so you can see what’s new in each upgrade
  • Changes, which lists the way new FedTerm differs from the old version
  • Known bugs, which lists problems we already know about.

If you find any bugs then email the details to feedback@ibgames.com. Don’t forget to put “Fed2” somewhere in the subject line. Even if you don’t find any bugs you could mail us to tell us how much you like new FedTerm!
