The FreeSCI Dreamcast Snapshot (http://freesci.linuxgames.com/?page=dreamcast) page moved. It is now integrated with the main page.

The snapshots will occur less often, and the details of the release are no longer present. However, the good news is the page states that a snapshot will only occur when a significant change is made to the Dreamcast build.

There's a snapshot available for the stable build that was posted a few days ago. A snapshot for the glutton branch is not yet available.

Right, the snapshots will happen maybe a few times a year at the most. I felt the daily builds weren't the right way to go. It's almost impossible for people not involved with the project to understand what's in the ChangeLog. And it was impossible for users to know if the version on the site had any relevant improvements over the version they were using.

Btw, new official FreeSCI releases for both the stable and the glutton branch are coming this december. Glutton is progressing, but some essential features are still missing (e.g. savegames). It's nice to see a game like LSL5 running on Dreamcast though. :)
