Topic: It's a long way to Tipperary!

Hej, so I installed this addon but it gives an error about winter taiga 1 when I try to run it. Does that mean it needs 1.1? If so, does that mean the addons don't make sure you can only dowload ones you can use?

(I hope to soon move from Debian 9 to 10 or 11 but it looks scary, the whole backup all your stuff first is where I'm hung up on for now - gah I miss the good old DOS days when you just SYS the HD with all of the 3 system files... it was beautiful)

Add-ons do have a field to set a minimum and/or maximum Widelands version, but it's up to the add-on's author to actually fill it in, so not everyone does that.

With the new option in the editor "Publish this map online" an author has no chance to set the minimum wl version. The map i uploaded recently with this option has this information, but as a comment in the addon-file:

# Automatically created by Widelands 1.2~git26087 (e5bc531@master) Debug

Because of the bumped terrain indices all maps created with version 1.2 (current development version) aren't playable with a widelands version <1.2. A maps author will likely never know such changes (and shouldn't need to have, imho), but the developers do know. So the "min_wl_version" should be set automatically, at least for maps, if possible
