SRL 5 was designed for SIMBA specifically. SRL4 was a constant battle to maintain cross compatibility. Now with removing SCAR support we were able to "cut out the fat" and optimize the include. This optimization constisted of many things including new commenting system, new versioning system and an altered layout for the include itself. That is on top of code optimizations.
If you want to see all the work done look at the GIT logs. We don't have time to hold hands and walk everyone through every change that was made. We felt it was big enough changes for a new version number. A lot of discussion went into this. So please don't complain about version numbering and just appreciate the hard work our devs put into this.

I personally like the change, good step moving forward!

You hardly see huge code rewrites of working code when versioning it. Most of the time it's tweaks and optimization's that needed to be done (Which is what appears to have been done).
Now, that doesn't mean that's never the case, but why rewrite something that already works with optimization?

Well, the reason why people are trippin' is because before, when we used to introduce new SRL revisions, something big is in there. I remember 13-15 pages under the release threads lol.
We didn't really have what we had today, where whenever something is broken, someone fixes it and posts. We usually fixed up everything and made a whole new SRL with major additions to the include. After a major Jagex update, we would sometimes wait weeks for a new SRL.
Yeah I remember those time clearly lol. We used to all flock to tutorial Island and make threads on: "how to install SRL 3" "SETTING UP SCAR TO WORK WITH THE NEW SRL" "How to make so and so with the new SRL !!@!". Ah good days... Ah ha haa.
Never the less good job. But I think yall shoulda waited to release SRL 5.
Maybe once Marpis finishes SPS2.0, include it in there.
Lots of good stuff around the forums that can be formally implanted into SRL.
Faith is an oasis in the heart which will never be reached by the caravan of thinking.
Good job guys i am happy about the release.
sure its not quite what you guys wanted but its a start and a damn good one.
As for people complaining about a version number get over it, SRL 5 is a step forward and should be named that, we have moved away from SCAR support which if you didnt know is a big step, people will now know they cant use SRL 5 with SCAR and simply use SRL 4 so its very informative.
When i make my scripts i always increment my version number by 0.05 regardless of what i do and the reason why i did that is because its up to me what number i give it, eve if i change i line of code i will increment it.
So my point is its up to the developers what version number they give it and if they want it to be 5 then its 5, so deal with it.
sorry for the rage but arguing over a number when we can update and get SRL back up and running/improved is stupid.
So keep up the good work Dev Team.

The incredibly improved documentation, complete with example code!, is reason enough to release our work, especially now. It is something everybody with community-feel can work on and help us improve the readability and quality of our include. Yes it may look akward compared to the old formatting, but in fact it is the other way around. The old formatting had no meaning whatsoever, just made-up /***** etc. The new formatting has meaning. Besides, the real nuisance is completely on the devs side, because we are we ones that need to code into this. The average user hardly ever looks into SRL, and you will get used to the new look quickly enough.
I really don't see all the fuzz. Besides, SRL has been solid for 6 years! The include is "finished", not much work needs be done in order to keep it running. Also, remember where we came from. SRL Updates appear nowadays almost always within a couple of hours aot. days or even weeks not even so long ago.
So yeah, different it is, but it has much more meaning this way. Help us build it!
Besides: Thread title says Beta, no?

Good job on the beta release!
It's a shame to see SCAR phased out, but seeing as Simba is now king at Villavu, it was the right thing to do.
If you're not happy with this, or you would still like to work with SCAR, then you can always go help Wanted out with OSI at Freddy1990's Forums, I'm sure he'll be happy with some extra help on his project.

Butchering is what happened to SRL 4 months ago: we were adding a lot of IFDEF's initially for support for Simba and it became messier over time. scar apparently has/had no interest of keeping up with Simba and compatibility is more of an issue that it was initially.
Tell that to the obnoxious developer who has since left. There have been so many threads about this it's nearly worth crying over the stupidity. Luckily, we're rid of that now.
There's more to it than just define removal. The documentation is a great step forward and will only improve. SRL 5 will offer a stable base while we work towards SRL 6. It's also now officially git and no longer svn, so everyone can easily commit/file pull requests. The removal of scar compat / naming conventions was a logical step because it's weird that everyone uses simba to macro with srl, but it's still all named for scar. Compatibility was also holding us back a lot. Simba can do a lot of things scar can't and not being able to deploy that properly is just because we should remain compatible with a product no one here uses is stupid. You'd eventually end up with a Simba SRL that has more more (or different) functionality from the scar srl version, which obviously makes no sense. IFDEF's are stupid and should only be used where necessary. Most of the SRL core functions were very messy because of all the IFDEF's. You don't have to agree, but this is how it'll be. Feel free to work on improving SRL 5 and making our lifes here even better.
The version number bump was simply required because this is a great step forward. Let me ask you, how many people actually know this SRL was SRL version 4? Not many, after all - you don't notice it in the include statement, you don't notice it in the extension updater, you don't notice it ... just about anywhere. You only know at some point SRL 5 and SRL 6 are coming.
Stop whining about the version bump and focus on the good and important things.
tl;dr: there is a lot of big stuff in there, just not in the usual fashion.

Yeah I'm not signed up for Github or anything like that. I'm just the small-time scripter. I was hoping something that simple could get approved and someone on the dev team could add it into SRL.
