Who has problems with the latest Releases?

I'm curious as to who has problems with the newest releases of the EqEmu server?
here's how it's been with me;
anything after EQEmu-0.7.0-933, quest globals do not work to their fullest anymore.
With EQEmu-0.7.0-941 and now the brand new EQEmu-0.7.0-942; when I log a character in, it just stays frozen in one spot, rendering these two versions, totally useless.
I know I have gotten emails from other people stating the same problems, but I would like to know if it's all or most of us, or just "meaningless" portion of the users.

I havent tried the 942 out yet, but the 941 is unuseable atm for me. Same locking in place.

I had thought this to be a known issue. BUt glad you posted this to make sure, would be a curosity to see if it was actually working for some.

I wonder what the reason is for continued releases, if they don't work for anyone.

Allow me to explain.

Downloading the source and compiling on your own is always risky, nothing is "officialy released" its a development release.

When you fix something you always run the risk of breaking something else. What was broken just needs to be fixed.

Let me state it again, there has not been an official release because its not ready yet, your downloading the developmental code, expect it to be broke.

I understand. Most (if any) servers don't even use new releases. But aren't the devs interested in it being tested by anyone?
I tried the windows executables also.
Anyways maybe this thread is out of place then.

Yes it needs to be tested thats why its able to be downloaded, needs to be tested and bugs reported so that they can be fixed.

I don't see anything about locking in place on the bug report areas, and since it doesn't happen to me it wasn't really a known issue to me. Would be nice if I had a more detailed description of what's going on though. I'd be glad to fix any bugs the new code introduced, and I'm sure there's some.

Not that I don't want to post there, just that I don't know where or how, and probably many more are on my same boat.
It would be nice if we could keep a thread like this, and you could check once in a while. If so, I'll re-load 942 and detail it to you.
Also, there's the quest globals issue, which really doesn't affect many people - but I think it's because who ever might use it, doesn't use all the features. I can detail that for you also.
