Qs about a new QP release and upgrading to it from an older version mid-game

[Bursk]

Firstly, many thanks, Sim, for releasing a new version of  D0Tweak!

I know you're also planning to release a new version of Quest Pack at some point soonish.  I'm starting a brand new multiplayer game of BG2 + ToB on Saturday, so just wanted to know if it would be okay to begin the game using QP v2.21 and then upgrade to the new version once it's released.  Are there likely to be any problems in doing this?

Cheers.

I...don't know for sure whether updating will work. I guess it should. On the other hand, I will absolutely definitely certainly release a new Quest Pack either tomorrow or saturday. Really.

Gosh!  You sound, like, almost 100% totally certain.  I'll definately wait for the new version before I starts me game.

Do you have a likely changelog for us to oggle in the meantime?

That's some good shrimp you're cooking up for us.  The big changelog shows dedication to the cause.

Very much looking forward to another satisfying Ding0™ release.

I am expecting a happy Easter thanks to you, Sim!
