I've sticked and renamed the thread (http://ufoai.ninex.info/forum/index.php?topic=5559.0) now so it should be easier to find in the future. Do we want to put the patch on our news page or even the download page? Everyone who plays 2.3.1 will be affected.

Replace the files in the v2.3.1 downloads.
Is there a reason not to?

The fix doesn't even require re-compilation, and is platform independent.

I understand that, of course,
but it's no reason to have a "broken" latest official release...

If this minor fix (or rather, rollback of the map's files) causes an issue with terminology (version numbers),
simply call it 2.3.11, or whatever.

Currently the latest official release requires a patch to be playable, and it doesn't look good...
Just offering my point of view here. Naturally it's your call, eventually.

The number after 1 is 2. 11 is after 10 witch is after 9.

Alright, now you're just making fun of me...  =)
The number is not the issue!

I get the feeling this counts as "just another bug" for you, which doesn't justify a new release, even if providing it is a 5-minutes' work.
Never mind, then, I guess.

PurpleCaterpillar,
that's just bayo's special humor.

imho that issue IS serious and we should have a 2.3.2 soon.
Unfortunately, a 2.3.2 release is quite some work...
