10     2.04 Sun Apr 26 21:03:40 CEST 2009
11 root 1.183 - work around incompatible ABI change between 1.22 and 1.24 by using a runtime check,
12     this really is a bug that needs fixing inside pango.
13 root 1.182 - include a japanese font (Mona, selected for license and size) with the distribution.
14     - include our own fonts.conf file, to speed up startup and to be able to control
15     font selection.
16 root 1.181 - change confusing login successful message to "connect to server successful".
17 root 1.182 - update BDB and EV in win32 builds to work around the event loop creation bug.
18 root 1.184 - fall back to blocking dns resolve before using a hardcoded address.
19 root 1.181

26 root 1.175 to Setup=>Client to control this.

28     - move autopickup enable (formerly inhibit) to menubar.
29 root 1.177 - correctly display face changes for inventory objects.
30 root 1.173 - verify databases if we are the first process to register, to
31     detect corruption as is common on windows (but not limited to
32     windows, unfortunately).
33 root 1.176 - fall back to backup config file if main config file cannot be parsed.
34 root 1.178 - reduce shimmering during smooth scrolls.
35 root 1.172 - rely on AnyEvent to work around totally broken windows vista
36     tcp/ip subsystem once more (where getpeername returns fantasy
37     ports).
38     - use newer BDB version that works around windows vista tcp/ip
39     breakage.
40 root 1.173 - initialise the default resolver during startup, as windows vista
41     forces us back to the desktop when doing this later(!).

49     topmost face isn't visible.
50 root 1.164 - fix swirly tile draw offset.
51 root 1.166 - fix a crash when the user clicks on the map during log-in.
52 root 1.168 - incorporate tips of the day by botz (former madness).
53 root 1.169 - handle failure to load a music face more gracefully (still
54     log the error, but do not crash, instead, ignore the failure).
55     - try to log, instead of crash, on the "cannot call update method"
56     problem.
57 root 1.162

96 root 1.129 0.9976 Fri Sep 5 17:28:30 CEST 2008

192     become visible again.
193     - the max number of paragraphs in the chattabs were not limited,

196     deep red :-)
