Surprise! I did not expect the exit now! fantastic! thanks for the nice gift!

The cart has two bugs:

1> Do not stop if I left click.
2> has no collisions with the player ??? I thought it was resolved?!?

I look Changelog. I'm curious to find out all the news. I noticed that this version has many more MB. Good job guys!

PROBLEM:
I can't get it D:
I have Xubuntu 16.04.
The window says Minetest 0.4.15 but the game itself is not.
I used sudo apt-get upgrade minetest and yes I have the devs/stable ppa. When I installed 0.4.14 it worked...
help! :((
EDIT: SOLVED!

Very, very brief and horribly incomplete summary of Minetest Game updates
  • Corals in warm and shallow ocean water
  • Keys to share access with other players to locked chests, steel doors, steel trapdoors and other locked things.
  • Carts which run on rails
  • Powered rail, brake rail
  • Bushes with bush leaves and bush stems
  • Silver sand, represents cold desert
  • Complete rework of fuel times with many new fuels added
  • Stone Block, Sandstone Block, Desert Stone Block, Obsidian Block (+ slabs and stairs)
  • Some new updates to flint and steel and igniting stuff. I guess you can light a permanent fire on coal blocks
  • Simple Fast Inventory: Provides Lua API for mods to add more tabs into inventory

See http://wiki.minetest.net/Smelting for the updated list of fuel times.

Minetest Game documentation
I am too lazy to update the other parts of the wiki to explain the new items in-depth, sorry. :P This means, I have mostly broken with my past tradition to work like crazy on the wiki after every Minetest release.

Reason: I focus my documentation work now on the Help modpack.
If you use the Help modpack together with doc_minetest_game, you will get help texts for all new items. doc_minetest_game is not complete, especially not for 0.4.15, so expect to see updates.
If you're a wiki editor, feel free to copy anything you like from these mods (license: MIT).

Edit: doc_minetest_game is now updated and should contain contain pretty much up-to-date information by now.

I'm on Ubuntu MATE 16.04, with PPAs my default install upgraded as well as minetest_game

An alternative would be simply to git clone http://github.com/minetest/minetest_game ~/.minetest/games/minetest_game ?

Hi ! Really fantastic Christmas gift ! Thank you everyone :D Hope to read the changelog soon !

On little question : I French and as a lot of French, I use an azerty keboard, wich means basically that I don't use WASD to move but ZQSD, but the Z is supposed to be used to Zoom, is there a possibility to change the zoom's default control ?
It works and zoom in the same time I walk...I really need to change the zoom control x) it's impossible to play like this.

EDIT : I solved my own problem, the minetest.conf file had added the line keymap_zoom = KEY_KEY_Z, we can change the control there.

@alcyone ... you can use any keys you want. Do ESC from inside a world and (in the last version) there is a button to change keys.

You're right, I didn't notice first. I guess I checked before activate the zoom privilege, the button in the menu appeared after I did it and I didn't check after because for example you don't need fly privilege to choose a control.

Thank you :)

interesting changes some I like some I don't, minecarts but I don't like them anyway (I get motion sickness)
and others are plain meh
but as a whole it's pretty good
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diubaOKUzLs&t=1338s

but for a massive change when I updated I somehow managed to save my world so unless I cheat and go onto creative or generate more world a fair whack of the environment changes don't apply to me yet

Here is my Minetest 0.4.15 changelog featuring interesting parts (from older to newer)

Some interesting bits on engine:

  • PostgreSQL backend / May 14 2016
  • Tolerate packet reordering in the early init process / 22 May 2016 / potentially fixes some obscure server stalls
  • Big refactoring of mapgen code / May 28 2016 / mapgen developers rejoice!
  • Always carve river channels in mountain terrain in Mapgen v7 / 30 May 2016 / this one should produce very nice canyons and tunnels in mountain terrain that looks very awesome
    Pic: https://i.imgur.com/WT4qok1.jpg
  • Color chat / May 31 2016 / mod makers rejoice! coloured text can be used in game now.
  • Sapier's fix for the RESEND RELIABLE problem / 3 Jun 2016 / important workaround that fixes some very annoying server stalls (slowly dying server symptom), if you have strange server lock ups or stalls - be sure to try out newest dev build.
  • Initial Gamepad support / 3 Jun 2016 / initial support, more work will be done later
  • Dungeons: Generalise use, add capabilities, various modifications on 17 Jun 2016 / this one allows to customize and tweak dungeons even more. Example of ultra dense underground dungeon below.
    Pic: https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/ass ... dbcf43.png
  • Remove cinematic toggle on F8 / 5 Jul 2016 / some people may dislike this, but you can set it back in game settings
  • Replace game profiler / 12 Jul 2016 / finally old mod profiler was replaced by a new, improved version. Mod profiler is built in tool that allows you to analyse execution speed of lua code of mods and games.
  • You can now Zoom in like in optifine by pressing Z key / Aug 10 2016 / works if you have zoom privilege.
    Screen: https://i.imgur.com/rwQGUAt.jpg
  • Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.
    Code: Select all
    [opacity:<r>
    texture modifier, that makes the base image transparent according to the given ratio / Aug 12 2016
  • Fix updateFastFaceRow tiling issue / Aug 18 2016 / people who have weak videocards may benefit from this (less triangles to draw).
  • Disable pre v25 init sending by default for clients / Aug 22 2016 / Disable the ability to connect to old servers by default to improve password security. If people still want to connect to old (0.4.12 and earlier) servers, they can flip the send_pre_v25_init setting.
  • Make plantlike drawtype more fun / Aug 26 2016 / Adds several new ways that the plantlike drawtype mesh can be changed. Useful for mods and default game.
  • Higher frequency limit for view/hand bobbing and footsteps / Aug 26 2016 / useful for sprinting mods, faster walking - faster view bobbling for example.
  • Disallow registering users with the same name / Aug 29 2016 / Prevents duplicate names: 'NickName', 'nickname', 'NICKNAME'. Skips already registered users, so they can connect as usual.
  • Anticheat: Use the physics_override modifiers aswell / Sep 9 2016 / This should allow you to use anticheat with speed booths and other custom physics.
  • Throw error if node 'light_source' > core.LIGHT_MAX / Sep 17 2016 / light_source = 15 in mods causes light glitches, so modmakers should avoid it for now.
  • Do not serialize empty NodeMetadata / Sep 21 2016 / This fixes curious bug that added some unnecessary "garbage" into mapblock data.
  • Builtin/falling: Add fallback vector in case of nil 'wallmounted to dir' / Oct 3 2016 / Some people reported this annoying bug causing server to crash, should be fixed for now.
  • New settings to prevent spam in chat (chat messages length limit, message rate before limiting, message rate before kicking) / Oct 5, 2016 / Very useful for server administrators
  • Added attached particle spawners / Oct 13, 2016 / As requested by modmakers
  • Use range-based fog instead of z-plane based. / Oct 14, 2016 / Now fog rendered is more properly, equally in all direction
  • Enable mod security by default / Oct 16, 2016 / Protects against rogue mods, at the moment breaks some mods, disable if problems arise
  • Don't use day light sky unless noclip and free_move are enabled / Oct 17, 2016 / Now if you fly underground your background will look properly, enable noclip and fly to see bright background
  • Damage flash: Reduce maximum alpha. Avoid fade overload / Oct 21, 2016 / Now you can see better in combat when you take damage
  • Harmonize Irrlicht and shader fog calculations / Oct 24, 2016 / Fog fixes, since those recent changes it looks so much better
  • Improved lighting and other / Oct 27, 2016 / Lighting algorithm fixes, famous water on water drawing with bucket bug is fixed
  • Optionally disable optimization that causes underwater and cave rendering / Oct 31, 2016 / Now you can disable optimisation and enjoy much better rendering of ocean and caves, it costs some fps though
  • Only give singleplayer 4 basic privs / Nov 7, 2016 / No more outright cheating in singleplayer, only basic privs are available
  • Fix bugs caused by 'ignore' nodes / Nov 7, 2016 / Related to massive sand collapsing errors
  • Don't use reduced vertical limits for mapblock send and generation / Nov 7, 2016 / Player will see blocks to higher heights.
  • Occlusion culling: Fix 'end offset' distance, half this for centre point / Nov 8, 2016 / Adds a bit more occluded blocks causing slightly faster FPS
  • Retrieve mapblocks from the server in a sphere, not a cube / Nov 8, 2016 / Should reduce amount of stuff sent over network
  • Draw bottom of the sky box in 'cloudy fog color' / Nov 8, 2016 / Fixes very old "bug", now bottom part of scene is blended into fog nicely.
  • Fix incorrect distance computation for visible blocks / Nov 11, 2016 / Some mapblocks not rendered for people on very low rendering ranges, fixed.
  • Highlight selected face / Nov 12, 2016 / Feature, that allows you to highlight given face of the block
  • Add control information to player interacts / Nov 12, 2016 / Useful for modders
  • Rename nodeupdate and nodeupdate_single and make them part of the official API / Nov 14, 2016 / Useful for modders
  • Mgv7: Add optional floatlands, disabled by default / Nov 16, 2016 / If enabled, floatlands will start at 1280, they look quite nice, large in size, have biomes and water.
  • Enable tool breaking sounds / Nov 18, 2016 / Support for breaking sound of tools is added to engine
  • Fix superflous shader setting updates / Nov 22, 2016 / Important fix, improves FPS by about 40% (when shaders are enabled, as in default for PC)
  • Various fixes to mod security / Nov 24, 2016 / There are still some things to fix in mod security.
  • Allow overriding the hand / Nov 26, 2016 / Now you can override your hand via mod with something else
  • Limit light_source in the engine / Nov 28, 2016 / This commit limits nodes' light_source to 14 due to crashes
  • Optimize/adjust blocks/ActiveObjects sent at the server based on client settings / Nov 30, 2016 / Servers will greatly benefit from this in terms of bandwidth and load, basically, players with smaller v_ranges (for example slow PC, phone or tablet) will request only mapblocks they see.
  • Liquids finally alive and flow! / Dec 7, 2016 / Long awaited and important fix. Yes, no more stuck liquids! Waited for this for years...
  • Simple deco: Allow setting param2 value on placement / Dec 7, 2016 / This adds a `param2` field to the simple deco type that is checked to be between 0 and 255, and put to the placed node at mapgen.
  • Various view range fixes / Dec 7, 2016
  • Make mgv7 the default mapgen / Dec 12, 2016 / Mgv7 is now default mapgen for new worlds
  • Fix camera jumping on Android when panning past 0/360 mark / Dec 12, 2016
  • Fix segfault on startup error on Android / Dec 12, 2016
  • Mgv7: Change default cave width to 0.09 / Dec 13, 2016 / After some complaints caves were made slightly bigger.
  • Wider tunnels in mgflat, mgfractal, mgvalleys / Dec 14, 2016 / self-explanatory
  • Make mgv7 the default in UI / Dec 16, 2016 / Mgv7 is now default mapgen for new worlds, featuring updated biomes
  • Fix unnecessary block loading and duplicating objects / Dec 18, 2016 / Makes the game load blocks only if they are not in the memory. Fixes infamous item duplication bug.
  • Mod security fixes / Dec 20, 2016 / More fixes of mod security
  • Disable mod security by default / Dec 21, 2016 / Mod security was delayed and is disabled by default in 0.4.15 stable
  • Avoid crash when object pos over limit / Dec 21, 2016 / Game should no longer crash when objects cross map limit.

Some Minetest Game changes:

  • Convert plants and saplings to use node timers / 25 May 2016 / IIRC this should be a big thing for everyone, now plants will grow even when player is not around, allowing you to harvest more.
  • Enable ignition of tnt, gunpowder and permanent flame above coalblock using flint and steel / 4 Jun 2016 / now flint and steel has some more use! also, for people who like permanent fires... rejoice, by using flint and still on coal block you can light permanent fire on it for use in decorations (be safe with fire though).
    Pic of eternal flame enclosed in obsidian structure: https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/ass ... 31d9e5.png
  • Add mossy cobble slab and stair / 15 Jun 2016 / welcome addition, to have it in survival you need to create cobblestone stair/slabs and put them near water to convert into mossy variants.
  • Make brick and plank nodes rotatable / 29 May 2016 / finally you can rotate them to align with full block counterparts.
