-===== Commit History ===== +===== Development Progress ===== 
-The only branch which has changed is the doc branch. These edits are numerous and help improve the documentation.+  * In the ''doc'' branch, there was an experiment on documenting code-related information using manual pages (which were appended to the output PDF). This turned out to be more complicated than expected, and [[http://git.bananach.space/advtrains.git/commit/?h=doc&id=49beb106f00d35296c54a6f15cc663526651d376|a commit in early September]] switched to LDoc [[https://stevedonovan.github.io/ldoc/|LDoc]] instead, dropping support for manpages. The switch to LDoc allows people to document code on their own branches without having to depend on the ''doc'' branch. 
 +  * In the ''new-ks'' branch, an improvement to the signal formspec allows players to assign distant signals from the formspec of main signals (previously, it was only possible to assign the main signal from the formspec of distant signals). A hotfix was also pushed to address the issue where LZB does not accurately use the signal aspect information.
  
 +In addition to Advtrains, Marnack released version [[https://github.com/Marnack/dlxtrains_modpack/releases/tag/1.9.1|1.9.1]] of the DlxTrains modpack which fixes an issue related to using ''dlxtrains_industrial_wagons'' with some versions of the Technic mod.

 +//Note: this is currently not supported upstream. Do not report bugs related to such modifications. Increasing the hard-coded maximum speed has [[https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=14726&p=379865&hilit=speed#p379186|also been attempted before]], with unexpected consequences.//

 Recently, 56i-mtserver increased the maximumm speed of Advtrains trains to 40 m/s. This is roughly equal to 89 mph or 144 km/h. This is comparable to the speed of diesel trains on the North Wales Mainline. Recently, 56i-mtserver increased the maximumm speed of Advtrains trains to 40 m/s.
