Negative tmp SING was nerfed. It was very clearly a glitch, and often froze the game.
Here is the commit that fixes it: https://github.com/simtr/The-Powder-Toy/commit/94e635b65dd01a95b79d3269f2b782440f87cdb4
Note that it never took negative .tmp into account at all, so it was doing a loop like for (int j = 0; j < -100whatever; j++), which runs for a really long time ... sometimes freezing/crashing the game. Since negative .tmp SING can only be made with the console, it isn't really an issue to fix it. Stuff that happens when you set properties to negative values has always been unsupported, I don't think this is the first time we've fixed a bug with negative tmp. -
Ok. I thought it was over powered.
How about that eraser particle we talked about (or erase everything property for CRAY with BMTL). any chance you could slip that in? having a way to erase FILT and DMND Would be AMAZING.
Either way thanks for all your hard work.

May i ask how do i download previous snapshots? i want to download snapshot 32 and i am not sure how i find the link for its download. And when is 9.1 going to be released? is there a estimate?

In the dropdown on the download page, there is a link to all the older versions :D http://starcatcher.us/TPT/Download/Older
Also 91.1 will be release whenever Simon does it ... everything is ready. -
I have downloaded snapshot 32 yet it says that i could upload because beta block is gone yet i cannot uplaod because it is from a beta. Is this supposed to happen? and i cannot acces saves from snapshots in my 9.0 powder.

I'll test uploading saves when I get home later. It should be working ... Might have to make a website change because I bet it isn't allowing snapshots.
Saves from 91.0 won't open in 90.2, not much i can do about that. 91.0 has some new code so that this won't happen again unless you use new elements / features in any 92.0 saves.
If it is important you might want to try using my mod, where I replaced the "newer version" error with a warning instead.
But I think snapshot 35 is your best option right now. (Or my mod until I can figure out why the snapshot won't upload saves) -
Snapshot 37:
Rewrite threading / http requests in save preview, should fix random crashes
Compile with -O3 again to fix false positive in AVG
Some testing would be nice, to make sure the new threading model i'm using doesn't cause even more crashes or freezing. It copied all the DownloadManager code from my mod, which doesn't seem to crash, so it should be fine. I don't trust RequestBroker, it has already been shown to cause a ton of crashes before, and it seems it still was causing crashes for some unknown reason.
Also, it looks like there is an issue where you can't upload saves in this version. It will be fixed the next time the website is updated, but for now these versions will be sad and not that useful ):
