DevelopmentPlans/2.4.2
From BZFlagWiki
Contents
Overview
2.4.2 was the first maintenance release of the 2.4.x compatibility line. Its primary function was to be pushed out in order to get a complete debian package and having a new version number helps with that.
The release was completed in July 2012 as the BZFlag_2.4.2 release
Tasks
Many tasks were postponed to a later release in order to get the debian package out and due to general development apathy.
