Yadex 1.7.0 (2021-07-24)
Reporting bugs
If you find a bug, tell the list about it. It's
important. Especially if it makes Yadex crash or lose data.
However, there are a few things to bear in mind :
- Some bugs are already known (cf.
TODO
). You don't need to spend time
reporting them because I'm already aware of them.
- A vague report like "it has crashed" is nearly
useless. If you want me to fix the bug, you need to be specific.
What's your hardware and software configuration ? What
version of Yadex do you run ? What iwad and pwads do you
use ? What exactly did you do ? What message did you
get exactly ? I know that collecting all that information
can be time consuming but there's no way around it. Consider
including the output of "
make showconf
".
- Some bugs don't come from programming errors but
from flaws in the design. So they can't be fixed, unless I
redesign and rewrite a significant portion of the program.
