Testing Marauroa involves testing the games that are built for it, but mainly it consists on:

1. Creating a new database
2. Create a new ini file using generateini
3. Running Marauroa using that ini
4. Creating an account for a player

After release

If it says 'Check' below - that's because not all users have rights to edit it if it's wrong. Please tell the correct person! If it says 'Update' below - it means anyone has the permissions to fix it!

Marauroa

• Check channel topic for #arianne on irc.freenode.net is up to date
• Check website marauroa downloads page shows correct version number
• Check sf default downloads page shows correct version number

Stendhal

• Check website stendhal downloads page shows correct version number
• Check arianne on sf downloads page shows correct version number
• Check channel topic for #arianne on irc.freenode.net is up to date
• Update Template:SmallWorldMap - the latest world map may already be in StendhalRefactoringAtlas

note: now the world images are kept on the project webspace, so updating them amounts to moving the worldcvs.png to world.png, etc.

• Check that the server website [1] has also updated its version number (e.g. check the download link goes to correct version number) - check if any new items/creatures/npc show up
