What you find on github? what are you trying to do XD
You can either download the nighy from here :
http://forum.maniaplanet.com/viewtopic. ... 18&t=27748
and then update it for a clean nighty install
Or download the 0.9.5
In no situation download what is on github. If you want to get the last nighy without updating we will provide a nighy download later today with all the packaging done.

Hi every one
So we have canceled the 0.9.7 of eXpansion because we think that expansion is nearly ready to go for a stable releases

We are really happy with the progress and stability the project has gained. The update to the 0.9.6 has not been very smooth unfortunately
But the 0.9.6 was a big leap forward complexity wise and feature wise. We still have plenty of great ideas but we must stop for a while because those features aren't important for eXpansion they are features that will be awsome but that we can live without at the moment.
We want to go for a stable release, this will mean hopefully a release that won't need updating for months, In the meantime we will work on the next releases to implement those new ideas. This way server admins that doesn't want to experiment might decide to switch to our system, once installed they can just let it run.
We will continue on the nighty system which will allow the more adventurous of you to try out the latest features without needing to wait months for them to roll out.
Before all this, we will realese a fix for the 0.9.6, it is already in the git update we will also make a zip file once all the issues has been fixed. 1.0.0 will probably be the fix and some more stuff applied to the 0.9.6.

We don't change version number so it is normal that you are on the 0.9.6. I was watched fb's stream and I can confirm you have the last version
This is news for the 1.0.0 not the 1.0.0 we still have work to do before realesing it
Edit : If there is no errors while doing admin update there is no reason to believe it didn't update

hey, updated the done & todo list for the 1.0.0 realese.
All the changes/fixes that are checked

are already on nighty branch.
The master(stable branch) has also been updated with to include all the fixes that we tested. Normally the nighty and master are nearly synced at the moment.
For information if you have git installed on your server you can use this to update your servers easily. open /admin setexp
set the branch to master for stable version and then switch git update on. This done you can use /admin update to update and /admin manialive restart to restart the systel

^^ hey thank you
the bug isn't from eXpansion XD it is a script mode bug
So we had canceled 0.9.7 to make a stable realese but after some devlopment we decided that our next realese would be the 0.9.7. We have worked again very hard with reaby, there is a lot of small fixes not even worth mentioning some of those fixes are just placing elements and some are more important.
The 0.9.7 won't be a big game changer, it will be if all goes well the version we will present to a bigger audience, yes more server admins need to use the system. As much fun as it is to work on eXpansion to work on it for just a few server owners isn't our goal and isn't motivating. The number of servers using eXpansion has been dropping lately and we want to change this tendance.
I am saying this for my self, but if we can't get more players using the system I will probably stop developpping on it and just keep with maintenance so that is works until there is enought players using it.
In order to get those server admins we have started working on promoting expansion to people, hopefully we will be give you some more news soon.
Meanwhile everything that was planned to be done for the 1.0.0 will be done or is done for the 0.9.7.
