EDIT: https://zquestclassi...eleases/2.55.7/

 

To help reduce the number of bugs in official releases, here is an unofficial prerelease build to give people a chance to find and report any obvious new bugs. The official release will come in a few days.

The Windows prerelease of 2.55.7 can be downloaded here. Keep this separate from your main ZC install. Once the version has been officially released, replace this prelease build with one from official channels (the updater, GitHub, or zquestclassic.com). This link will expire at that point.

Use this thread to discuss or ask questions about the new changes.

Changelog:
 

# Features
 
zc: show save path in game details view
 
zq: add "Auto-Save" and "Auto-Restart" options to test dialog
  The test dialog no longer prompts you about unsaved changes. Instead, a
  new option in the dialog "Auto-Save" will save for you just before
  launching test mode. This defaults to on, but can be disabled.
  
  Additionally, the existing "Auto-Restart" option was moved from the
  launcher to the test dialog, where it belongs.
 
zq: show error reason when failing to load quest
zq: dense forest autocombo mode
zq: extension autocombo mode, for resizing things along one axis
 
# Bug Fixes
 
mapscr::numFFC() no longer returns 1 when there are 0 ffcs
issue where double clicking could stop working in lists
 
load NES tiles for old quests without tile data
  Some 1.90 and older quests save no tile data if they just used the
  default NES graphics. That broke sometime around 2.50, resulting in
  crashes or random behavior when loading these rare old quests.
 
[mac] Change all CTRL shortcuts to CMD, and allow CTRL in hotkeys
  The hotkey system already used CMD instead of CTRL, but many old allegro
  shortcuts were still checking CTRL on Mac (like copy/pasting text). Now
  they use CMD.
  
  Also, can now use CTRL when configuring hotkeys on Mac.
 
zc: for old quests, darknut shields no longer incorrectly break when hit with hammer
zc: supress Z_eventlog when game is not active
zc: improve error handling for saves in titlescreen
  * When loading a save file failed, the program would exit. Now an error
    message is displayed
  * Previous places that showed a generic save-related error message are
    now more specific
  * Fixed a few things that were causing errors related to saves when
    canceling during save slot creation
  * Canceling the dialog that pops up after creating a new save slot now
    deletes the save, rather than it defaulting to classic_1st.qst
 
zc: New mirrors hanging the game when using their 'Block' feature
zc: avoid crash on magic relections when sprite list is full
zc: handle screen transitions on slopes in sideview mode
  Slopes bugged out big time when moving between screens in sideview mode,
  shooting players across the screen. That is now fixed, but one should
  avoid starting upwards-stairs on the edge of a screen, as the player
  still does not traverse up it when entering from the other side.
 
zq: reenable floating selection for dense forest
zq: lifted duplicate combo and combo 0 restrictions from autocombo types that did not need them.
zq: reset animation in item dialog on selection change
zq: set track to 0 when updating dmap music
  This prevents a bug where an invalid track could be selected when
  changing the tracker music file in the dmap editor.
 
zq: fix Preview mode not working when opened from top menu
zq: prevent crash when saving test init data
zscript: remove a bunch of unnecessary logging
zscript: constants at script or namespace scope counting against the global variable limit
zscript: properly handle optional params not being compile time values
  If an optional parameter was not a defaulted to a compile time value,
  the compiler inserted a random value instead. Now it will emit an error.
 
zscript: fix off-by-one error in shopdata
zscript: show useful error message when single-quote char string is too long
zscript: fix `combodata` Flag, NextData and NextCSet
  These were never correctly implemented.
 
zscript: remove bogus error log when using `ArrayCopy`
 
# Documentation
 
zscript: fix order of arguments in DrawString on webdocs
 
# Refactors
 
 
zc: improve how title screen assets are loaded
  * Use `title_gfx.dat` instead of `default.qst`. This file is smaller and
    so is quicker to load (200ms -> 100ms on my machine)
  * Don't reload the assets if they are already currently loaded.
    Previously this file was unnecessarily loaded multiple times while
    simply navigating the save select screens
 
zscript: remove unused ->ScriptEntry, ->ScriptOccupancy, ->ExitScript
zscript: always show script context when logging errors
  Previously the "Print Script Metadata on Traces" QR had to be enabled to
  show what script caused an error. However, this context is always useful
  for debugging and so should always be displayed.

Is this a typo or did you link the wrong one?

That's not a new bug, and we never said it was fixed, so I'm not sure why you're mentioning it here.
