A very mysterious and serious bug (the server crashing after someone makes a move in a game) has disappeared as mysteriously as it appeared. I think all I did was reboot.
Anyway, this means that Epoch 0.2.1 might get released before the year is out. Almost all of the work was done on the server, removing the STL code and inserting glib code in instead. The binary is smaller and it might be faster. But it puts me in a good position to get a windows port started.
The other major thing in 0.2.1 will be CX4 (Connect 4). I have to make another look at the code but it is about done. Gaze at what it looks like here.
