Please head to http://strawpoll.me/5696050 and select what applies to you, for cc users upwards of 1.64

This is to get a good idea of what to be compatible with.

What exactly are you trying to make compatible?
  • If you are making an addon, generally the version you should go for is the latest (non-beta) and with addons, as it makes no sense to make an addon for an outdated version, and incompatibility with other addons just makes pushes people away.
  • If you are making a program, addons really shouldn't matter unless the program is made for them, and version is just based on if you need new functions

1.64 is a bit of an odd pick; that's the first build to be compatible with MC 1.7.10. Since the latest CC build (1.74) is still MC 1.7.10 compatible, there's no obvious reason to use CC 1.64 at all, nor anything between it and 1.74.

Older ComputerCraft builds are a different story - you pretty much can't move away from CC 1.5, for example, without discarding your world. For what it's worth, I generally try to make my code work under any CC build back to 1.5 (as that happens to be the oldest version I have amongst the Minecraft installs on my system), but much older builds than that still see frequent use.

I believe I still use 1.73 in my main test world, since I haven't sat down and dealt with the change away from setfenv yet.

There is, as yet, no "change away from setfenv" to deal with, unless you intentionally tweak CC's config file to disable 5.1-specific functionality.

Ah! Had misread some things in the latest version of bios.lua. Might as well get the test environment up to date, then.
