I've been offline for quite a while and am now trying to get back into JA 2 1.13.
So far I've encountered a few questions somebody might be able to answer.

- I downloaded Depri's latest available 1.13 pack (Revision 8796 on GameDir 2531) but then read in some other thread that this isn't the latest release to get.
Can anybody point me to where I can always find the latest release?

- While browsing through the various XML files I noticed there are still some typos.
Which is the best way (e. g. contact person) to make sure they get corrected for upcoming releases?

- Last time (~ two years ago) I still had an individual avatar for my forum account which isn't available anymore.
Have individual avatars since been removed?

- I know that evolution within MercProfiles.xml sets whether mercenaries can or can not increase their stats but there are more than just two values.
What do the values "1", "2", and "5" exactly stand for?

Send Shanga a PM, if your avatar is relevant to the pit, Shanga should be able to update yours if you supply it.

Thanks to the both of you @sevenfm and @Hawkeye.
Hopefully someone else can also answer the remaining questions.

Best would be if you take the most current XML file, fix the typos and then upload it somewhere. One of the persons with code access can then upload it to SVN.

From the code - should be self explainatory:
Toggle Spoiler

Also keep the "DISABLE_EVOLUTION" settings from JA2_Options.ini in mind. It is set to TRUE in the current GameDir, so the <bEvolution> tag in MercProfiles.xml has no effect.
