Are you willing to test new features of bzflag?
LOL. I still haven't been able to test one single 1.11.x version with somebody but my bots, locally
BTW, I noticed that now Zoned tanks can shoot, and I managed to kill myself while zoned like that ... so what's the idea? What does a Zoned shot hit? Other Zoned tanks, or anything, like a Superbullet? (I can't experiment for myself, which is why I'm asking )
BTW2: any chances that bots will be guided by Roger in 1.12?

because we change the version numbers when the protocoll changes.
1.11.12 dosnt' know about the new networking stuff in 1.11.16 so it HAS to be incompatable, otherwise it would not behave he same, and/or crash.
the 1.11.x line is an active development line, if you are planing on running servers for it you must be willing to update often as the code can go thru signifigant changes in the course of even a week.
the same thing happend with 1.9.x.
Odd numberd minor versions are for development, and are allmost allways incombatable between revisions.
Even numberd minor versions are "stable releases", they are allways compatable between revisions, as revisions are not suposed to add new major features, but just fix bugs.
Generaly new major features require changes in how the client and server comunicate. To be compatable the client and server must comunicate in the EXAXT same way. This is why we change verstions every time we add a protocoll changing feature in the dev versions.
