Because I’ve gotten a couple of emails about this now:
The latest version of Glulx Entry Points is version 8. That is the version included inside the Inform package, if you download the latest Inform.
There are other dependent extensions (such as my Graphical Window extension and the related Location Images extension) that require at least Glulx Entry Points version 7. If you include one of those dependent extensions and compile, you may get a problem message saying that you require Glulx Entry Points version 7. (Version 8 will do for this purpose; it just won’t accept anything *earlier* than version 7.)
If you get that message:
– make sure you have the latest version of Inform, which has version 8 of Glulx Entry Points;
– make sure that you are not overriding this extension. You might have an older version of GEP installed in your user extension folder, in which case Inform will look there first. This is not a bug: we want authors to be able to use older extension versions if they need to for compatibility on legacy projects. But it does mean that if you have, say, GEP v6 installed in your user folder, Inform will find that first, in preference to the version 8 extension included in the package. If you remove or delete that version of the extension, Inform will be able to find v8 again.
Here ends the public service announcement.
