 Hi!

 First of all, thanks for being faster than myself. ;)

 Right.

 I don't understand this comment. What problems do you see there?
Upstream works explicitly to _not_ have any troubled along that lines in
their stable releases and I am not aware of any - can you base this
remark on something, because it makes it sound like there are some.

 Would be really interested to know about them, from both a packager
point of view but also from my involvment with upstream.

 Thanks in advance,
Rhonda

Some days ago, I played a game on the multiplayer server against someone using 1.8.3 (and some others with 1.8.2) and the chat was flooded with out of sync errors about five times. They were related to some differences in units and I think there were also some strange things with the HP. I don't know if the different versions caused this (maybe someone just tried to cheat), but as it was the 1.8.2 versions which were out of sync, I thought that could be the problem. If that's not the case, I'm sorry for the mistake.

 It is much more likely that the OOS was related to something else like
a broken addon. It would be great if you could file that (including the
savegame) as a seperate bug - but it is highly unlikely that it was
related to 1.8.2 vs 1.8.3, I just asked upstream explicitly about it and
got confirmed that they carefully checked the commits.

 Also, the upstream changelog is pretty verbose this time about the
changes that have been made so you can check against that, too.

 So in case you have something to base it on please submit it for
investigation because if that would really be the case it has to get
addressed explicitly and be fixed/reverted in another update. Upstream
isn't aware of such an issue though, and like written, explicitly work
on avoiding such issues.

 Thanks,
Rhonda

The first OOS was because of the checksum of an Orcish Grunt, but after the second (which I can't remember any more) I selected "Ignore All", so I don't know about the other errors. Unfortunately I also don't have a savegame (searched the wesnoth directory, but couldn't find one of that game), so I can't help with more information than that. However, if I encounter something like that again, I'll keep track of it.

 Thanks for digging it up and reassuring that it doesn't seem to be an
issue in wesnoth itself. :)

 Enjoy!
