505.1235 (Notes)

Found a glitch that could cause crashes in both the stable & beta versions, so these have been re-released with a patch.
506.1236 (Notes)

(beta) Includes some leak fixes and a new built-in /database datum.
506.1237 (Notes)

(beta) More fixes. Still testing but hopefully we'll get this to stable this week.
506.1238 (Notes)

(beta) Some important thread fixes this time. Please retest!
506.1241 (Notes)

1240 was a buggy release.
506.1242 (Notes)

Many multithread fixes. We'd appreciate feedback on those testing large games with threads enabled. Really want to get this stable!
506.1243 (Notes)

This version includes some server optimizations that will hopefully improve larger games. It also has prepwork for the aforementioned modern compiler, and we will provide a version of that build (VS2013) for testing tomorrow.

This is still considered "beta" but it should be stable, and we will move it onto the stable track in a few days if there are no major complaints (so please speak up).

We've elected to _disable_ the multithreading by default, once again, since it is _still_ quite buggy. That said, we'd still really appreciate further testing on this, so for those of you willing to help, you can re-enable the multithreading either on the command line via:
DreamDaemon [game] [port] -threads on -map-threads on ...

or in your daemon.txt:
threads on
map-threads on

You can omit the 'map-threads' if you want to test the level-1 threading only. Do this if you experience problems with the 'map-threads on' so we can isolate.
We have compiled a version of the windows BYOND using the newer VS2013 compiler, which will give us much better third-party support down the line (with the initial project being to explore ChromeEmbedded to replace the built in IE webbrowser control). This version should work for WinXP SP3 / Win7 / Win8.

This may be found under the Beta section of the download page ("updated toolset") or directly here: http://www.byond.com/download/build/506/ 506.1243_byond_mfc120.zip

Simply install it alongside your existing BYOND (on your Desktop or whatever). Please let us know if it works.

Some more optimizations and fixes. Includes an updated vs2013 (mfc120) version with some fixes as well: http://www.byond.com/download/build/506/ 506.1244_byond_mfc120.zip
In response to Tom

Windows beta test, at the bottom. Linux & BSD forthcoming, as well as a small post.

Note that this has been compiled under VS2013, which will be our future compiler for all windows builds. It requires XP SP3 at a minimum. This will give us better options for third-party support in the future.
507.1249 (Notes)

First round of fixes (No notes on doc yet, but you can just look in the beta bugs forum for fixes).
507.1250 (Notes)

More fixes. Those who downloaded earlier testing versions of this should redownload.
507.1253 (Notes)

A few big efficiency improvements. Also have located (but not yet fixed) a showstopper bug on some mobile platforms, so we're hopeful to get that working better soon.
