 It is much more likely that the OOS was related to something else like
a broken addon. It would be great if you could file that (including the
savegame) as a seperate bug - but it is highly unlikely that it was
related to 1.8.2 vs 1.8.3, I just asked upstream explicitly about it and
got confirmed that they carefully checked the commits.

 Also, the upstream changelog is pretty verbose this time about the
changes that have been made so you can check against that, too.

 So in case you have something to base it on please submit it for
investigation because if that would really be the case it has to get
addressed explicitly and be fixed/reverted in another update. Upstream
isn't aware of such an issue though, and like written, explicitly work
on avoiding such issues.

 Thanks,
Rhonda

As it seems there are problems with using this version in a multiplayer game together with the current one in maverick, I think it should be updated. There are no Ubuntu-specific changes to this package and I can confirm that building and running the package from sid works on maverick amd64.
