Beta Testers

A new distribution channel has been created for willing users to test features before they are ready to put in the main stable release, and to reduce the overall number of updates for most users.

The beta version of jOverseer has a separate RSS channel: http://www.middleearthgames.com/software/joverseer/betafeed.xml

The file containing the download location is: http://www.middleearthgames.com/software/joverseer/betaurl.html

jOverseer verion 1.0.13 (aka 1.13.0) and later, have some new preferences which allow you to set the two locations mentioned above.

If you are running an older version, then you will need to fetch the file from the download location, which at the time of writing, is: http://www.middleearthgames.com/software/joverseer/latestbetaupdate.zip

Download it, and unzip it over an existing jOverseer install.

Stable release location

The matching RSS channel and download location for the stable releases is: http://www.middleearthgames.com/software/joverseer/feed.xml http://www.middleearthgames.com/software/joverseer/url.html
