eXtreme+ 1.7 still born....but 2.0 lives on.

In a bit of a shocker, the eXtreme+ mod version 1.7, has been abandoned due to bugginess.

Version 1.7 was in Beta when, apparently, the number of bugs in 1.7 overwhelmed events and the eXtreme+ team decided that the fixes would require the mod revision to be flipped to 2.0.

Among some of the issues was a problem with the DRM module that was talked about by Joker in Episode 22: Return of the Joker. As well, there was a report that configuration files could not be altered.

The bugs are being squashed as we speak and the eXtreme+ team will re-start the Beta process all over again by re-issuing the mod to selected server managers. Software releases are a tricky process and this happens to the best of them. To me the commitment and optimism of the great folks at eXtreme+ are the news in this story.

Here is what Tally (eXtreme+ Support Crew member) had to say about this issue in extremecod.com's forums today:

1.7 no longer exists - it will now be version 2.0. We did this because we did so many version changes while testing that we got up to 2.0.

We are finishing up with the testing, cleaning up things, and fixing bugs that we have discovered while testing. this caused us to miss our dealine of last weekend (the one just past). Sorry about that.

Will be out very soon, and please believe us when we say: you are going to love what we've done!
