Kingpin 1.12 Beta Patch

There is a new version 1.12b beta patch for Kingpin on the Kingpin Beta Testing page. Xatrix Programmer Ryan "Ridah" Feltrin updated his .plan mentioning the Kingpin Linux forum mentioned below (story), as well as word on a problems (story) with the just-released version 1.1 patch (story), that have caused him to open up Kingpin Beta Testing to the public (thanks Planet Kingpin). Here's the scoop on that:

It appears there was a major crash in the Kingpin patch client, which only seems to occur with the particular binaries that were released. I believe this may be the unfortunate occurance of a MSVC 6.0 bug, which causes some builds to screw up. At any rate, the onus falls on me, for not having that particular build tested before release.

As a result of this, I have decided to open up the Kingpin beta testing to the public. With most of us on holidays (yes, that includes me) at the moment, I'm thinking the best thing to do, is to make what would usually be internal builds, available to anyone willing to help the testing process. Then, once these builds reach a state where things are running smoothly, I'll release that build as the official patch.

This way those that are experiencing major problems with the commercial release, can get access to builds that may fix their problems, or at least they can help me get their problem fixed sooner, rather than later.
