Just for note it<br \/>\n seems the last updates I have according to the Change Sorter tool is<br \/>\n August 18th, 2005.  That seems a little old&#8230;\n <\/p>\n<p>\n I took a shot at downloading a new version of Croquet from the website<br \/>\n however got this message:\n <\/p>\n<p>\n <em><br \/>\n download is currently disabled due to technical difficulties<br \/>\n <\/em>\n <\/p>\n<p>\n d&#8217;oh\n <\/p>\n<p>\n While I do understand that Croquet is a moving target and at any time<br \/>\n things will not be working.

In theory, I could sit through and<br \/>\n figure out what the problem is (actually I know: the problem after<br \/>\n tracing the debugger is that when trying to load a texture it is<br \/>\n trying to use some function pathFromURI: however there is NO Class<br \/>\n that implements this function anymore&#8230; oops) and fix it and keep<br \/>\n on going or perhaps submit a fix.  My gut feeling tells me this is an<br \/>\n old problem and I&#8217;m really not helping the Croquet folk move forward by<br \/>\n fixing this problem and telling them.  More likely they are trying to<br \/>\n get this all working in the background and will have something up<br \/>\n &#8216;soon&#8217;.<br \/>\n <br \/>\n So I&#8217;m left with one option&#8230;\n <\/p>\n<p>\n Wait until another version comes out.
