WARNING : THIS IS A TEST
NOTE : THIS DOES NOT CONTAIN NEW PHYSICS / VW SCIROCCO / ROCKINGHAM
Hello Racers, here is a new Test Patch : Z26. It is fully compatible with version Z25.
Please keep a backup of your LFS.exe from version Z25 so you can go back to Z25 if there are any problems.
This is mainly about the new installer which Victor has been working on.
Thank you translators, for making the new installer translations.
The installer gives you a default folder of C:\LFS but you can choose wherever you like. Vista and Windows 7 users should preferably not use their Program Files folder because of some issues that come up.
The installer is very non-intrusive, it just does a normal LFS install and adds an icon to your desktop (if you wish) and a start menu item (if you wish). Also optional is an auto setup of file associations for SPR / MPR / LYT and SET files. This will be very helpful for new LFS users who can sometimes install LFS in the wrong place using the old self-extracting archives.
Also new is updated support for the URL lfs:// which can be used to start LFS using a command line from a web page. This will be the new method for "LFS Join" links at www.lfsworld.net Previously a special program needed to be installed but soon the "join" links will work for any copy of LFS installed using the installer.
LFS World is not yet updated to the new system. You can test anyway by visiting this temporary web page after installing Z26.

You can test the full version installer, or you can use the Z25 to Z26 patch. This will require you to select your existing LFS folder.
Changes from Z25 to Z26 :
Added support for lfs:// start LFS with command line from web page
Various translation updates
FIX : It was possible to reset the car while a vote was in progress
FIX : Clicking SPR / MPR did not work if "Load track when starting"
FIX : Help buttons sometimes translated after returning to English
FIX : Two or more dedicated hosts could be started with same port
