To Update or not....

I suppose all developers have experienced the awful sinking feeling that occurs when you change something simple and later realise that its caused a serious error. This happened to me recently and had me working a full day trying to trace the error. Using Java Webstart has made delivery to the user much easier but, if you are not extremely careful, when compiling and signing the jar files, it can be quite difficult to find out the cause.
The great folks at Scottish games gave Solundria a mention, so it is possible someone might actually try the game. I have a newer version with some slight improvements but I'm wary of uploading in case I bring everything down again.
I think I'll postpone updating until am uk time. This shouldn't interfere with visitors, but if there is a problem, I may be up half the night again.....
