*trips over running to download link*

Still no download link on the homepage.

For those who overwrite their Windows installation with the zip distribution to update it, you might experience a problem with some "Irrlicht" file/folder. It seems to be what the "extraction error" refers to, as in 5.9.0 there was an empty file named "Irrlicht" while in 5.9.1 it is a folder with content.

To solve this, delete the "client" folder before extracting.

So it’s not fair, why isn’t there one for Linux, but why isn’t there a new ad on the maintest website?

So it’s not fair, why isn’t there one for Linux

Linux users get Minetest in several ways, usually through their distribution's package manager (apt, yum, dnf, zypper, ...) or through a containerised format like Flatpak or snap, or an AppImage, or build from source... And there is a first-party source too, the Ubuntu PPA (link is down at time of posting for whatever reason).

but why isn’t there a new ad on the maintest website?

There might be one in a few days. I'm sure the people who can do the update are aware. Personally I got notified through GitHub Releases by being a watcher on the Minetest repository.

and for android maintest 5.9.1

and for android maintest 5.9.1

The update hasn't been published in the usual places yet, but it will be on F-Droid and Google Play. App "stores" (I don't just mean Apple's) like those can take time to approve things, so it's not necessarily Minetest's fault for not publishing yet, though 4 days seems unusual for a patch update.
