Hi Nick,

We know, Andreas is working through all major versions so that they
are all in the archive. If you noticed, 343 through 352 went into
unstable in rapid succession.

355 was next in the list and that's why it went to experimental, and
we just tested 358 and it works fine so I guess it will most likely be
next in queue for experimental.

Note that there is no 355.63 on Linux - I guess newer games will
require 358 or 361 (which is just a beta for now, it needs some major
packaging changes due to libraries reorganizations so it's not ready
yet).

Please be patient.

Kind regards,
Luca Boccassi
