This week's experimental release page does not list the updates but notes "View the full revision history on our SVN server. See the access instructions here. ".

How do I access the list of updates on the SVN server?

Good question indeed. I´d like to know what has changed since the last Revision before I try it, just to be able to compare (which may come in Handy, if I run into a bug) :lol:

Cheers, Markus

Well, if you click on that word ( here ) you will find it is a hyperlink to the instructions to download and use TortoiseSVN. I use the SVN server with Tortoise all the time. It also gives the ability to move back to an earlier version should you so wish. Handy if you do find a bug, because you can backtrack to find the first time it happened if needed.

But where is the list of modifications which are included in todays experimental release?

You follow the link and it is explained.

However, the missing change list would be a bug in the automated experimental release which I'm looking in to.

Oddly enough, on my side, TortoiseSVN only shows the last modifications until 1880 when on the ORTS site and SVN site do indicate there's a X1881. Also this was reported before: On X1880 the version number of the main menu still says its 1878.

Fixed the missing revision list; I'd forgotten to reinstall 1 component used in that part of the update, so it shouldn't happen again.

These are completely unrelated issues (to each other and to this thread).

The in-game version is out of date because people have been forgetting to commit Revision.txt and even the entire executable in one case; the "missing" version in TortoiseSVN is because you're looking at one specific directory (I presume http://svn.uktrainsi...s/trunk/Program) and it will only show versions with changes in that directory - X.1881 is the version where the executable is missing (along with Revision.txt) so nothing changed in the Program directory.

Thanks for clearing that up, James! ;)

Also worth pointing out, just in case anyone doesn't know: the automatic experimental builds are newly built executables - they are not just whatever is lying around in Program in Subversion. This means that the X.1881 experimental build will appear as that version and include that version's changes, unlike if you just update from Subversion yourself.
