Hello all,
I'm pleased to announce Singling 2026-08-08-1300! For many years we've been on 1.05b simply due to the fact that 1.06 introduced an anti-dupe fix that was deleting legitimately found items in the game due to the fact that the game can legitimate generate items with the same fingerprint. I've analyzed the 1.06b code and have carefully deactivated the anti-dupe fix, reverting the behavior to what 1.05b had. This means everyone can now safely upgrade their characters to 1.06b, and officially enjoy "the last real classic version of the game before the expansion came out". I've also re-implemented all of the Singling fixes from scratch on 1.06b, and I've also done testing on both Linux and Windows and so far I haven't experienced any issues or crashes. Please let me know what your experience is like using 1.06b w/ Singling. Also make sure to continue to backup your characters. If you are using Cactus, automatic backups are enabled by default so you should be able to easily restore from backup if it comes to that. I hope everyone has fun playing 1.06b. I'll be upgrading my recent 1.05b HC sorceress to 1.06b and will continue my adventure. The new version of Singling is included in the latest Cactus Bundle which can be downloaded from the usual locations. With that said, 1.05b has been dropped from Singling.
This release also aligns with RetroD2 folks soon launching their public realm on 8/14, and thus I wanted to celebrate their achievements by also finally rebasing and upgrading all of the Single Player communities 1.05b versions to 1.06b as well. We will all enjoy 1.06b, ALL OF US!
. So whether you are playing online or offline, we will be enjoying ourselves to the fullest extent.
Take care and have fun,
Jonathan
