Auto-updater
Ever thought of using an auto-updater program. It would be very nice not to have to download the game everytime there is a bug fix release...
yeah i already suggested that like you can see here: http://www.lindeijer.nl/flyspray/index. ... ails&id=30

Well I think it would be cool to have also binaries updated. It will be pretty faster to launch the game, get it updated and start it. If I understood correctly you want to start the game, get an error message "This is not the latest version, please visit the download site -> url".
You download it, maybe compile it, install it and restart the game...
At least for windows and mac it could be useful (just the opinion of a lazy user )

would be possible for GNU/Linux users too .. with the difference it isnt the binary which gets updated . it is the source erm not really the complete source.. diffs would be ok to and it would save a lot of traffic and then it automaticly compils it

I guess for Windows users we could automatically download the new installer, then tell the user to quit and run that. Anyway as I said the goal should be to work towards a stable client that doesn't need to change for each new feature we add, and especially a client that doesn't require updating its binaries to be compatible with new server changes even if there would be a new version out. I mean that's the only way it would ever make sense to include a tmw client in a distribution.
