    The same place you normally get TPT.

    https://powdertoy.co.uk/Download.html , or for the latest snapshot http://starcatcher.us/TPT

    If you visit the download page on Linux, it will probably link to the Linux version automatically. If not, use the "Other platforms" link under the Download button. The snapshot page has a dropdown to select the platform.

    A new 91.0 beta is out. I made a "brief" changelog here: https://powdertoy.co.uk/Download/Changelog.html
    Complete changelog doesn't exist yet, but you can find a list of changelogs on the snapshot thread.

    To download the beta, see here: https://powdertoy.co.uk/Download.html

    Please test it and make sure there are no obvious mistakes. If all goes well, it should go live tomorrow (3/4) or maybe Friday.

    Awesome!  I will test my library of saves through it tonight.  starting in about 2 hours.

     

    Thank you Simon and the Developers. (sounds like a 1950's-1960 rock band xD)

     

    UTC-5 time zone

    test log.

    Thursday (3/3/2016)

    1.  (5:45pm) FPS loss.   On a save I get 50 fps with v90.2, I get 40fps with v91.  id:1948351  static fps test.  its just a big block of INSL but it shows what has what.  I lose about 6 fps on this  id:1551557  really not noticable on many saves.  some laggy saves will be a bit worse.  There has to be some give.  (7:09pm) Most of my work is barely affected.   id:1814041 still runs at 208 with the cap off.  those numbers are on my machine so you know.  this is just a clinical observation.

     

    2.  the new CRAY and PSTN features work beautifully.  Bravo!

     

    3.  (7:22pm) This  id:1414880  was working in snapshot 5.  I was excited because the dyson sphere has been broken ever since v90.2.   I do not know why the sun is dying out in this now.  cubicapocalypse made the sun originally so I am not even sure how it was made.   it does however indicate some change.  my other fusion stuff works fine.  I have no further analysis.  it is not important to me that this one save works at all.  I hope it is not an indicator of a bigger problem.

     

    Friday (3/4/2016) 

    4.  (5:38 am) The new tools seem to work really nice.  the zoom / draw change is very good.

     

    5. (7:42pm)  The element locator tool is wicked!  That is going to be very handy.  The streamline speed improvement is pretty cool.  I actually have a save that benefits from that.  CRMC is behaving the same as I remeber from your mod.  the saves I made to test it seem to behave as expected.  That is a long awaited addition to TPT.  high temp melting.  cool for targets, destroyable reactors (I am sure I am going to make one. he he he) ehem..hm..hm..  I don't understand the "signs have tool tips" but I am glad they are longer.  so good stuff @jacob1.

     

    All of my other saves seem to work normally.  all in all a very good update.

     

    Thank you soo much for implementing all these good ideas.

    As far as bugs go, I haven't had the time to check, but really great job on the update as a whole!

    Which antivirus do you use? That sounds strange. Maybe you can give more detail on what it did also?

    The update was smooth and troublefree for me. Everything I've tested so far works same as before. Have checked out most of the new feetch and made ceramic from scratch, LOL. I do know that some people are having problems. I hope to do some testing in Windows if I can scrape up the time.  I have Win 7 & 10 available. I want to see what problems might be caused by &%&^% Microsoft nonsense. UAC and other BS wreak havoc with a lot of software. I've found that installing outside of that blasted "Program Files" folder can prevent a lot of difficulties, if that helps anyone. My own system is Linux Mint.
