1.05 patch is out

Draco

Yep - grab it at ftp://ftp.blizzard.com/pub/starcraft/patches/Star_105.exe for starCraft and at ftp://ftp.blizzard.com/pub/broodwar/patches/BW_105.exe for Brood Wars.

Here is what it does:

What's fixed in Patch 1.05 (Includes fixes from 1.04)

Reduced Academy cost to 150 minerals.
Reduced Science Facility cost to 100 minerals, 150 gas.
Reduced Spider Mine research cost to 100 minerals, 100 gas.
Reduced the cooldown for units on unload from a transport.
Added a limit so games can only be saved at most once every two minutes during a multiplayer
game.
Fixed a bug that caused save game compatibility problems with 1.03 save games loaded into
1.04 and Brood War.
The 'something for nothing' cheat no longer gives Brood War upgrades in normal Starcraft
games.
When using the 'exactly' modifier in trigger conditions, incomplete units are no longer included
in the comparision.
Hallucinated devourers no longer leave acid spores on targeted units.
Spider mines are now properly affected by disruption web.
Neutral medics no longer auto-heal units.
Added a wireframe for Infested Duran in a dropship.
The low memory version of the disruption web art is now correct.
Terran insane AI no longer locks the system.
Fixed the bug that allowed terran buildings to move after landing.
Fixed the bug that incorrectly allowed 'morph to lurker' commands to be issued to units that
weren't hydralisks.
Miscellaneous minor bug fixes.
(StarEdit) Eliminated dependence on updated comctrl32.dll
(StarEdit) Now displays language based on installed version of Starcraft rather than operating
system setting
(StarEdit) Fixed a bug in the Player Upgrades dialog that could cause settings for one player to
be inadvertently copied to another

(sort for the dodgy formating)

I've never thought about that.

However, the patches don't seem to get any bigger in filesize so I would assume that the later ones do not contain the previous ones.

Also, Staredit distinguishes between which patches are needed to run a map, they give a full list and sometimes skip a number in the progression
eg: required:
Starcraft
V1.02
V1.03
V1.05

No 1.04

To be on the safe side I would upgrade one at a time. Anyway, you'll need to upgrade to play on B.net or in Multiplayer against an updated opponent.

Sorry I can't be more definite.

As far as I know the v1.05 patch contains all the previous bug fixes. Check out the patch section at www.blizzard.com it will tell you for definite

I d/led it - it worked fine.

So you don't need to have the previous versions if anyone else is listening!
