Voyager Dragon, earlier this month, released an update for his Ultima 2 Upgrade package:

This update is probably way overdue, but today I’ve released a new version of the Ultima 2 Upgrade. This version includes new builds of command-line utilities that run natively in Windows (32 and 64 bit), DOSBOX, or Linux. You no longer need to find CWSDPMI in order to run them.

There are no new game features or bugfixes in this release, so if you’re waiting for the new and shiny you could certainly sit this one out and not miss much. But I wanted to get a new build out as I know the DOS/DPMI binaries have been a sticking point for quite a while and I had already solved this for U3 some time ago. For more information, please see the release notes.

He is also rethinking how he will approach updates to his various upgrade utilities in the future, this one included:

I’m also aiming to adhere to a philosophy of getting more frequent but smaller iterations of updates out rather than waiting until I have all the things that I want in it as I have a habit of doing. Next up will be v2.0 which will be focused on a pretty big refactor of the graphics code so that CGA and EGA routines are driver-based. No schedule of course, so no idea what that means in terms of timeframe.

You can grab version 1.2 of the Ultima 2 Upgrade from Voyager’s repository on BitBucket, or from the project entry here at the Codex.
