The main reason for this release is that the default installation of libxml removed http fetch functions we were using, and that starts appearing in mainstream Linux distributions now, such as Ubuntu 26.10. On such systems, we now use libcurl as a replacement. Binary builds like this one are unchanged, they still use the old libxml.
But hey, you also get a better framerate indicator. And it seems the bugs Alex Bagnall fixed made the bots a little more competent.

Also very likely affected were users of all distributions who did not have the library SDL1.2 installed on their system, or who opted in to the "Steam Linux Runtime". A fix to the library bug is und…
