Invasion 1944 v2.6 (CO)

What is does that mean?

[Mikey74]

Most likely that its not happening tonight. Must have found another bug.

Nope, the delays have been producing the documentation and trying to find filehosts, and updating releases posts in preperation for the release itself and the countless other points that require certain users to be online, its not that easy to publish a 1.5GB patch online

Oh mumma! Tell me you'll upload a torrent somewhere I'll seed forever, I promise! lol

[Mr Pedersen]

torrent sounds like a good idea too

[Fkymplbo]

There will be a 7z patch for 2.61 install, but no full 2.62 release, as this is available using Six without us having to publish a whole new release with updated documentation etc, which ultimately would delay us further.

Looks like everything is in good shape so hopefully see a release sometime this evening GMT.

I can't breathe now and would wait for it in whole night...
