** Description changed:
+ IMPACT: Old versions of hedgewars are unable to engage in network play
+ with newer versions of the game, including most users of the official
+ network server.
+
+ DEVELOPMENT: Fixed by upgrading to 0.9.17, which was just synced into
+ Precise
+
+ FIX: Backport of 0.9.17-1. No other source changes to 0.9.17-1 are
+ required for Oneiric; debdiff from 0.9.17-1 will be attached
+ momentarily.
+
+ TEST CASE:
+ 1. Start hedgewars
+ 2. Enter a nickname if prompted
+ 3. Select network play (the globe with a missile shooting across it)
+ 4. Select "Official server"
+ 5. With the old version, observe that you are warned that Hedgewars is
outdated
+ With the new version, observe that there is no warning
+
+ REGRESSION: The behavior of hedgewars has already regressed, since
+ network play with current versions is affected. Hedgewars upstream does
+ not make separate features and bug fixes in these point releases - and
+ in fact it is generally new features which force bumping the network
+ protocol. This does mean that there is a priori more regression risk
+ than for a typical SRU.
+
+ ========
+ Original bug description:
0.9.16 is a major release involving many new changes:
http://hedgewars.org/node/3291
As with other releases, online play against older versions is not
possible, so it would be good for Ubuntu users to be updated as soon as
possible so they can play against Windows and OSX.
