Ares 1.0 has been released!
Subject description: Games can be saved and modders can be saved too.
AlexB has finally released Ares 1.0, which extends the modding limits of your Yuri's Revenge extensively. This specific version finally allows you to save games and resume them later. Here's the complete announcement from AlexB about it:

Mission Accomplished: Ares 1.0 officially out
Today Ares reached a huge milestone: Ares 1.0, which finally restores support for savegames, has been officially released to the public.
Savegame related buttons in the menus have been enabled again, and using them to load a saved game will no longer crash. This was the last big missing piece to make Ares a superset of the original game, that is using Ares no longer takes away a fundamental feature the original Yuri's Revenge had.
Ares thus now officially leaves the implicit preview stage denoted by a zero in front of the version number, about 10 years after development of a replacement for RockPatch started in 2008. This is only a symbolic act though, as even in the preview stage the expansion dll was quite stable for all it added to and changed in Yuri's Revenge. Sometimes adding or adjusting minor things, sometimes turning large chunks of the game upside down.
No new features to announce here today. Maybe MissileSpawn now working on buildings. Again, there were some fixes for bugs, several stability improvements, optimizations and minor changes. This version should be more stable than the last, and it should in any case be a good base for future releases.
Thanks to all testers over all those years, who dedicated their free time to try out new logics and report numerous bugs and other issues. Thanks for confirming bugs as well as bugfixes, for proposing new features and voicing your opinions to improve them.
Finally, have fun with Ares 1.0 and savegames working again!
And that's it, my friends. Happy modding! And a big thanks for AlexB and all others who helped to make this dream possible. For further information, check the links below:
