**No!**, it's ScummVM 0.3.0b, our first official release since LucasArts decided to go after us!
*Small update, we've also added a few links to our Links page that you might want to check out. Expecially VOGONS, please stop asking us if we're going to do things like add support for Beneath a Steel Sky :)* That's right, since the many many months since LucasArts first issued us with a DMCA notice (and wisely decided after the subsequent slashdotting and fan backlash from you, our users, to negotiate a deal :), we have been waiting for a settlement with LucasArts before releasing a long awaited new version. The wait is over. No, we haven't reached a settlement, we just got tired of waiting to release this gem. There have been hundreds, if not thousands, of bugfixes since our last 0.2.0 release... not to mention support for at least three new games (The VGA version of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, and support for The Dig and Simon the Sorcerer 2)... and new features such as a vastly improved in-game gui and a built-in launcher to make it even easier for you to add, configure, and run your classic LucasArts (and AdventureSoft) games. Experimental support for Full Throttle is here, as well as many bugfixes for the games introduced in our last version... such as the FmTowns 256 color version of Zak McKracken, and the VGA floppy version of Monkey Island. For a short summary of changes, check out the [Release Notes](https://downloads.scummvm.org/frs/scummvm/0.3.0b/ReleaseNotes), or even better... just head over and [download the dang thing](/downloads/). Hopefully we will be able to come at you with new releases more often from now on, hopefully at least monthly. Please enjoy this release as much as we've became frustrated making it, and remember - if you give all your money to LucreArts, maybe they'll let us live instead of abandoning us on... on.... Monkey Island! (Ugh, Bananas... I hate Bananas). For those interested in the boring news, here's both a summary and an update on our legal situation, for those users who are just now discovering ScummVM. * * * *We've been at a deadlock with LucasArts for some time now. LucasArts simply do not like our current license, the GPL (General Public License). While we do not think it necessary, we have agreed to change the license to something more LucasArts-'friendly'. However, LucasArts wish us to include distribution terms which are against section one of both the [Debian Free Software Guidelines (DFSG)](http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines) and the [Open Source Definition](http://www.opensource.org/docs/definition.html). We cannot agree to this, nor the condition they wish to require (no commercial distribution)... because it conflicts with the DFSG and OSD, which we require, and it is something we legally cannot be sure of enforcing - several Linux and BSD distributions already include ScummVM packages, and we cannot be certain they will notice a license change. Oh, and we WANT distributions to be able to include our software :) To date, LucasArts has not been able to give us any firm complaints regarding ScummVM, besides some vague claims that if they didn't enforce these conditions on us, it would effectively give up their rights to their own Intellectual Property. We do not believe this, there certainly have not been any documented cases of the GPL leading to such a challenge in the past, and far more important properties have been licensed under the GPL in the past, such as the Quake titles from [id software](http://www.idsoftware.com/). LucasArts isn't releasing any of their own code under the GPL, and we really do not believe that they should require us to change our license - all we want them to do is leave us alone to create our emulator. Sanction us, if it makes them feel safer legally. But if they are going to require such a major step on our part of changing our license, they at least have to capitulate on the point of OSD/DFSG compliance. We here at the ScummVM team would like to thank the people at LucasArts who are supporting us, and attempting to help us come to an arrangement. But guys, we're your fans. All we are doing is updating the engine for games, in a form of an emulator... because you haven't - although we've asked you to for years. We've even made more money for you, as quite a number of us have went out and BOUGHT your classic bundle packs, just to play it with ScummVM.* **These last few paragraphs have been brought to you by the "Please don't sue us for making a new release" department.**
**¡No!** ¡Es ScummVM 0.3.0b, nuestra primera versión oficial desde que LucasArts viniera a por nosotros!
*Pequeña actualización: también hemos añadido unos cuántos enlaces en la página correspondiente que tal vez os interesen. Sobre todo VOGONS, por favor, dejad de preguntarnos si vamos a hacer cosas como dar soporte a Beneath a Steel Sky :)* Efectivamente, desde hace muchos, muchos meses, cuando LucasArts nos envió un aviso DMCA (y decidimos sabiamente, tras el posterior efecto slashdot y el clamor popular por vuestra parte, negociar con ellos :), hemos estado esperando a llegar a un acuerdo con LucasArts antes de publicar la esperada versión nueva. La espera ha terminado. No, no hemos llegado a un acuerdo, solo nos hartamos de esperar a publicar esta joyita. Ha habido cientos o miles de correcciones desde nuestra última versión, la 0.2.0... por no mencionar la compatibilidad con, al menos, tres juegos nuevos (la versión VGA de Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade y soporte para The Dig y Simon the Sorcerer 2)... y nuevas características, como una interfaz ingame muy mejorada y un lanzador integrado para que os sea mucho más fácil añadir, configurar y ejecutar vuestros juegos clásicos de (y AdventureSoft). También tenemos soporte experimental para Full Throttle y muchísimas correcciones para los juegos que introducimos en la última versión... como la versión a 256 colores de Zak McKracken para FmTowns y la versión VGA en disquetes de Monkey Island. Para ver un resumen breve de los cambios, pasaos por las [notas de la versión](/frs/scummvm/0.3.0b/ReleaseNotes), o mejor aún... [descargadla directamente](/downloads/). Con suerte, podremos ofreceros versiones nuevas con mayor frecuencia a partir de ahora, con suerte, una vez al mes. Esperamos que disfrutéis de esta versión tanto como nosotros nos hemos frustrado haciéndola, y recordad: ¡si le dais todo vuestro dinero a LucasArts, a lo mejor nos dejarán vivir y no nos abandonarán en... en... Monkey Island! (Agh, plátanos... Odio los plátanos). Para aquellos interesados en las noticias aburridas, aquí tenéis un resumen y una actualización sobre nuestra situación jurídica para los usuarios que acaban de descubrir ScummVM. * * * *Llevamos una temporada en un punto muerto con LucasArts. Simplemente, a LucasArts no les gusta nuestra licencia actual, la GPL (Licencia Pública General). Aunque no nos parecía necesario, hemos acordado cambiar la licencia a algo más «apetecible» para LucasArts. No obstante, LucasArts quiere que incluyamos términos de distribución que van en contra de la sección uno de las [Directrices de software libre de Debian (DFSG)](http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines) y la [definición de código abierto](http://www.opensource.org/docs/definition.html). No podemos aceptar ni esto ni la condición que nos quieren exigir (que no haya distribución comercial)... porque entra en conflicto con la DFSG y la OSD, que necesitamos, y es algo que no estamos totalmente seguros de que podamos imponer legalmente: varias distribuciones de Linux y BSD ya incluyen paquetes de ScummVM y no podemos estar totalmente seguros de que se den cuenta de que ha cambiado la licencia. Ah, y nosotros QUEREMOS que las distribuciones puedan incluir nuestro software :) Hasta la fecha, LucasArts no ha sido capaz de presentar una queja en firme sobre ScummVM, más allá de varias declaraciones imprecisas de que si ellos no podían obligarnos a cumplir estas condiciones, estarían cediendo los derechos de sus propiedades intelectuales. A nosotros no nos parece que sea así, desde luego, no hay ningún caso documentado de que la GPL haya provocado este desafío en el pasado y hay propiedades mucho más importantes licenciadas bajo la GPL, como los juegos de Quake de [id software](http://www.idsoftware.com/). LucasArts no va a publicar ninguna línea de su código bajo la GPL y nosotros no creemos que deberían obligarnos a cambiar nuestra licencia: solo queremos que nos dejen hacer nuestro emulador tranquilos. Si se quieren sentir más seguros desde un punto de vista jurídico, pueden autorizarnos, pero si van a pedir un paso tan importante por nuestra parte, como es cambiar la licencia, ellos tendrán que capitular como mínimo en la parte del cumplimiento con las OSD/DFSG. Desde el equipo de ScummVM queremos dar las gracias a aquellos dentro de LucasArts que nos están apoyando y que intentan ayudarnos a llegar a un acuerdo. Solo estamos actualizando el motor de los juegos mediante un emulador... porque vosotros no lo habéis hecho, aunque llevamos años pidiéndolo. Hasta os hemos dado dinero, ya que un gran número de nuestro grupo ha COMPRADO vuestros lotes de juegos solo para poder jugarlos con ScummVM.* **Estos últimos párrafos han sido presentados por el departamento de «no nos demandéis por publicar una versión nueva».** |
