v1.24 Release Candidate 1 is about 50% completed. Most of the effort has gone into implementing various Steam related features. Here's what I've done so far:
-Bugfix: Fixed crash caused by French Did You Know file.
-Bugfix: Fixed Q4 taxes not being charged and incorrect amount being reported in reports.
-Maps: Completed Base City Map's City Events.
-Maps: Finished computer assisted grammar and spell check of Base City Map's Newspaper Items.
-Maps: Ported Base City Map's City Events and Newspaper articles to Base Territory Map and Classic Territory Map.
-Steam Stuff: Finished creation of trading card rewards. (The trading cards are being worked on now, but they are subject to Steam's approval.)
-Steam Stuff: Implemented Steam Workshop Uploader in the mod tools.
Currently I am working on the Workshop Downloader in the Settings Editor. (Since you have to switch mods in the Settings Editor, might as well do everything in there...) Currently this is about 75% finished. I am actually working on the unsubscribe (Delete) code right now, and then it's just a matter of cleaning up the GUI. After this, I will switch to a couple medium sized bugs that were reported for v1.23.4, then i do Steam Achievements. Again, Achievements are subject to Steam's approval...
After achievements are implemented, I will work on cleaning up some issues with the mod tools. If I am still waiting on approval for Trading Cards or Achievements, I will make an example mod as a tutorial. Once that is all finished RC1 will be release, and I will go back to the grind stone with micro-bug fixing in RC2... Then 1.24 should be ready!
I also hit a snag when implementing Steamworks in the Windows mod tools. It seems that Steam doesn't release mingw libraries. Thus forcing me to rework the entire build system for the Windows Mod Tools.
