Due to an undetected issue in the build pipeline last night this weekend #RISC_OS ShreFSServer alpha builds did not get on the distirbution server, my apologies to all the testers.

The issue is now resolved and build 0.1.3 is available for testing using the usual URL.

Thanks.

#RISC_OS ShareFSServer testers, changes for this weekend build here:

Build should be available tomorrow morning.

Eek!

I am probably less prepared for this one than I have ever been for a #RISC_OS show.

(And the fact that I'm normally terrible and very much a last minute prep guy, the fact that I'm saying it this time means it really is a problem this time! Could we perhaps put the show back by 6 months?)

Have you accidentally loaded a game from the wrong Cassette? 😁

(Haven't played a simple bomber type game in donkey's 'ears'. Not even sure if there is one for #risc_os - and it wouldn't take long... maybe worth it in the run up to #riscosnorth?* Just for the kick?)
