1.9.3.0

It's been a while since we have updated the rumble client version, and the new version brings several important fixes. I'd really appreciate if someone set up a quick benchmark for a battle or two for each bot in the rumble, and then run it on old and new versions to make sure we don't have any regressions. Once this is done we can upgrade the client =)

As far as I know, Robocode 1.9.3.0 hasn't been officially released yet. The website and GitHub still name 1.9.2.6 as the latest version, and there is no 1.9.3.0 download. You can only get it by building from the latest git master. What I linked to was a draft of the new changelog.

I don't think any new releases will be made until poor Fnl finishes dealing with all of the bugs reports I piled onto him. What I have been doing for the past week is emptying my mental list of annoyances with Robocode onto its bugtracker.

So currently, it is still in development, and it's a bit too early to do regression testing with this new version.

What does need testing, however, is Robocode on Java 9. We already found CPU constant calculation and team JARs to be broken there, and doubtlessly there are more issues.

Looks like Fnl is busy as we speak. May be it is the time to complain/bug report everything on our minds.

to MultiplyByZer0, thanks for spotting so many extra bugs.

Robocode 1.9.3.0 has been released.

Great. As soon as we have a benchmark comparison making sure no subtle score changes have crept in or tons of bots are now broken I'm happy to change the LiteRumble over!
