ShowEQ 5.8 for Live 2/13

[purple]

Announcing the release of ShowEQ version 5.8. This release is compatible with Live servers post release for the BS expansion. This fixes a lot of compatibility issues. See the Changelog for details. Obviously, you want this version.

NOTE: This release removes the itemdb functionality. It was way old and would need a lot of work to get back in. If you want to work with items, see the fine work over at EQItems, where you can search for items, embed items in your forums, and even download the entire item database they have collected.

Changelog:

Fetch the new release from the files section of sourceforge. Alternately, ShowEQ source is now available in the Sourceforge subversion repository. The URL to access this release is http://seq.svn.sf.net/svnroot/seq/showeq/tags/v5_8_0_0.

If you have problems with ./configure, try:

$ LIBC=gnu ./configure

If you usually use a package for your distribution, I'm sure they will be along at some point. I haven't seen CeleSEQ around lately, so I don't know if you're going to get FC packages or not.

Thanks again everyone for your help. It is appreciated.

Without SEQ, I probably wouldnt play EQ. Without EQ, I would have a lot more time on my hands to get things done and I would probably have a life. Wait a minute, why Im I thanking you guys again?

Great, now everybody's gonna be asking me if I have BS... or I'll be telling people that BS is a wonderful thing.

My ftp server lost 2 drives in 1 day, so I'm offline. So, I put the Debian sid amd64 and i386 packages on slow^H^H^Hsourceforge.

You can download them from the
Section on SF.
