It's not technically an official release yet..

 

https://github.com/EpochModTeam/DayZ-Epoch/releases

[merlin777 4]

Ah gotcha.

 

These particular lines of notes kinda scared me

Server owners must update to the new Hive DLL included in the 1.0.6 release, changes in the soruce code can be found here: https://github.com/vbawol/DayZhiveEpoch/pull/13

and

Many weapon and item classnames changed. Admins must update their traders. See SQL\1.0.6_Updates and dayz_code\Configs\CfgServerTrader

 New loot table format is incompatible with old loot tables. Admins see CfgLoot\README.txt

being as it is not compatible with the old files/version.

 

So, I guess I am just wondering, since everything has to be updated, will the current game files be incompatible? server saves, buildings, loot etc.? you know when it comes time to changing Epoch to 1.0.6

[Ryan Pennington 359]

I have AWOL on Skype and he gives me official notice of any stable release. This one is not stable yet (still)

 

Epoch 0.4 for Arma 3 came out and is stable though, might want to give that one a shot instead.
