10    
11     - linking against the opengl library works everywhere, except on Mac OS X 10.6,
12     which some people even spent money on (this seems to break a great number
13     of opengl apps actually).
14 root 1.191 - (os x binary) update libsdl to 1.2.14.
15 root 1.186
16 root 1.189 2.05 Tue Sep 15 20:31:15 CEST 2009

21 root 1.183 - work around incompatible ABI change between 1.22 and 1.24 by using a runtime check,

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

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

47     ports).
48     - use newer BDB version that works around windows vista tcp/ip
49     breakage.
50 root 1.173 - initialise the default resolver during startup, as windows vista
51     forces us back to the desktop when doing this later(!).

55 root 1.165 - make hidden spaces as light as the darkest normal spaces.

65     - try to log, instead of crash, on the "cannot call update method"
66     problem.

201 elmex 1.62 - when the message window is hidden and the input is activated, it will
202     become visible again.
203     - the max number of paragraphs in the chattabs were not limited,

206     deep red :-)
207 elmex 1.60 - fixed a small inconvenience in the history handling of chat tab entries
208     (hitting cursor-up or cursor-down won't erase what you typed by accident
