7 root 1.172
8 root 1.181 - change confusing login successful message to "connect to server successful".
9

19 root 1.177 - correctly display face changes for inventory objects.
20 root 1.173 - verify databases if we are the first process to register, to

24 root 1.178 - reduce shimmering during smooth scrolls.
25 root 1.172 - rely on AnyEvent to work around totally broken windows vista

27     ports).
28     - use newer BDB version that works around windows vista tcp/ip
29     breakage.
30 root 1.173 - initialise the default resolver during startup, as windows vista
31     forces us back to the desktop when doing this later(!).

42 root 1.168 - incorporate tips of the day by botz (former madness).
43 root 1.169 - handle failure to load a music face more gracefully (still
44     log the error, but do not crash, instead, ignore the failure).
45     - try to log, instead of crash, on the "cannot call update method"
46     problem.
47 root 1.162

107 root 1.107 - use biggest video mode <= 1024x768 by default now (previous releases had a bug

141     clicking on them after logging out.
142     - support xml formatting in ex replies (item tooltips, requires server
143     2.54+).

186     deep red :-)
