MaxDream uses Mercurial repo. for development.
Updating to the last recommended commit is important, because it the easiest and fastest both for development and for user.
Note: Even know the thing that it is important to update to the latest commit, sometimes the project add or remove files from the project.
This can cause you get a build error in your IDE. If you are familiar with this problem from your experience,
you probably would know which file(s) to add or remove.
However, the simplest way to fix it is to download the latest version. It may probably contain docs too.
If you don't want to download because you afraid it will modify your source code,
just download and extract only the solution and the project(s) file, and overwrite them.
Currently, there is only 2 path for development, formally called branches, default and trunk.
If you want to browse Mercurial(+ RSS&Atom), visit Mercurial Page.
Default branch
If you want to get and use the lastest *working features and bugfixes of MaxDream, use the "default" branch.
*Be noticed: "working" does not mean bug-free, it means that it should works with no critical bugs, from our experiens,
by the developing team&users(including you :-) ) reports. This note makes the different between default and trunk.
For updating to the latest "default", write the following lines in the terminal:
cd (MaxDream path) hg update -r defaultIn windows, you can double click "Update(default-win only).bat" instead.
Trunk branch This is the head of MaxDream development. It is recomment to use it when and only when you want to contribute MaxDream development, as mentioned in the bold note in the last paragraph. For updating to the latest "trunk", write the following lines in the terminal:
cd (MaxDream path) hg update -r trunk
