The Trainz Dev activity has begun again this time as we start testing new features for T:ANE. This is going to be interesting as we see what some of the future things might lead to, but please do keep in mind of the following as stated perfectly by Windwalkr:
* As with all of the internal builds: this isn't a beta, this probably contains a bunch of stuff which will never see the light of day, it most definitely contains a lot of experimental changes and work-in-progress so expect lots of bugs and compatibility issues. As this is not a beta, we will not prioritise fixing bugs. Feel free to let us know about anything that you find, but please don't expect that we'll necessarily get to them in any specific timeframe.
* You will notice a new "Compatibility mode" checkbox in the "Trainz Settings > General" tab. Unless you really like living on the edge, I would suggest that you leave this checkbox enabled (default.) Turning it off is an interesting experiment, but will break a lot of things because it's very incomplete. You have been warned.
* Lots of small things have changed.
* You aren't connected to the live servers with this build. We're working on migrating some services to a different service provider, and you'll be connected to the test servers until that is complete.
* Route and Session file formats are different and not finalised. Anything you modify in the internal test builds should be considered throwaway work and you should expect that it will not be usable in future builds.
That said, I will update the post here periodically as time goes on of any interesting things we come across.
