Preparing the v1.17 Release

Your diligent work is greatly appreciated and not forgotten, Leoreth.

I'm teaching two sections of a 'History Through Games' class, using various board games and mods for Civ IV to teach history & game design. For the second half of the year, my high school class voted to play your Dawn of Civilization mod as our primary computer game for the second half of the year.

I was hoping to send everyone the download link for 1.17 before we break for Christmas. I understand that the delay is to make sure that there are no bugs or errors in the final 1.17 release, and I understand that that your future plans are necessarily imprecise.

a) Do you have a general idea of when 1.17 will be ready for release? Is it "a few more days" or "give it a few more weeks"?
b) If students install version 1.16.7 to start playing over the break, will installing version 1.17 break any save games they make in the interim? I'm wondering if I can provide the 1.16.7 link as a temporary measure.

Thank you so much for your incredible work on this mod. I am so looking forward to having my students discover your mod for themselves!

Your high school is incredible for allowing this to be possible!

I cannot commit to or guarantee anything.

I didn't involved with the CIV IV modding that much these days. But, i'm really freaking excited with a coming 1.17 update. I really can't wait to tried it for myself to see what's new for this upcoming update.
