Why was this released to fast?

Edit: I really like the improvements in the mod downloader and the text-shadow for the fonts! Great work! I can't say much about the shaders because my laptop is too slow for them ;)

Wow...yes that was a fast release.

I have a similar problem. It doesn't happen every time, but approximately half of the time.
Also the game crashes sometimes while loading a world.

Wow, that was quick. Nice work dudes! Thank you so much for your hard work!

Ehm in my eyes is this the fastest but the one with the most bugs after release.
I'll better wait for 0.4.9-dev or even 0.5.0....

pretty cool

I'm not having any trouble with it, but I'm running Linux

Posted: **Sat Jan 04, 2014 00:17**

not having much trouble either aside from server list sometimes disapearing but doesn't happen much i'm on windows

Posted: **Sat Jan 04, 2014 02:02**

0.4.8 came out on 2013-11-24, now we have 0.4.9!

Posted: **Sat Jan 04, 2014 09:53**

Very cool, but I have many wrong textures in the inventory! and some textures in the inventory are simply blue! I can't really play because of the wrong textures!
-> I mean that for example the dirt with snow node has the dirt with grass texture in the inventory and so on!
Has somebody else this problem?

Did you enable the waving leaves/plants/water? Toggle those, maybe it helps.

i try have enablrd only four things :particles,3d clouds,Preload itm visual,smooth lighting but its red too so i delete 0.4.9 and i have 0.4.8 now

Posted: **Sat Jan 04, 2014 13:19**

Only thing I now can think of is to check your minetest.conf, just to be sure the changes in the settings are also in the minetest.conf file.

Edit: as far as I can read it a bit, there were no changes of the shaders when going from 0.4.8-dev to 0.4.9-dev

Posted: **Sun Jan 05, 2014 19:55**

He used the "minetest.conf" of desktop.
what are the changes??
minetest is in difficult times

Very good Minetest 0.4.9, just thought strange noise it makes when you walk on the sand.

Posted: **Thu Jan 09, 2014 05:51**

good job, but what about changes wich are more viewable? I mean something the player can see while playing? for example a new node? or a new biom ( for example snow)? This would be great! Or some nodes could be deleted?
can I find a list with changes which will happens next?
Thanks for your answers!

Posted: **Thu Jan 09, 2014 11:36**

Nodes, biomes etc this all belongs to modding. This is engine only.
