Egoboo 2.8.0 (the SVN) has somewhat better mouse control than before. Also there are a lot of changes and improvements since 2.7.4 in there as well

But how this SVN Thing works, can you explain me? It is a program for auto updates or something?

You can get developer updates instead of waiting for releases. It takes a bit of tinkering, but you can hook up a downloader so it gets the latest Egoboo as it's updated.

You just use that downloader each time you want to update it.

Just remember that with features come bugs.

Yes but it has become an incredible hassle to get all the correct libraries from different sources (SDL, SDL_mixer, SDL_image, SDL_ttf, truetype, LUA, SWIG, PhysFS) and you need to download and know how to work a compiler. Visual Studio is incredible big and overkill to download only to compile one binary. Not to mention it will probably require hours of work for a first timer to set up

Ok.. ok... Thank, thats even too much useful info!

But just one thing.. how to download it? Where I can get it?

Well, there's a topic in Development where you can find the binaries, and in the tutorials section there is a tut to help get your actual SVN started up. It's tricky at first, but then it's a breeze.
