13     - intermediate os x binary release only.
14 root 1.190 - linking against the opengl library works everywhere, except on Mac OS X 10.6,
15     which some people even spent money on (this seems to break a great number
16     of opengl apps actually).
17 root 1.191 - (os x binary) update libsdl to 1.2.14.
18 root 1.186
19 root 1.189 2.05 Tue Sep 15 20:31:15 CEST 2009

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

26 root 1.182 - include a japanese font (Mona, selected for license and size) with the distribution.
27     - include our own fonts.conf file, to speed up startup and to be able to control
28     font selection.

41     - move autopickup enable (formerly inhibit) to menubar.
42 root 1.177 - correctly display face changes for inventory objects.
43 root 1.173 - verify databases if we are the first process to register, to

45     windows, unfortunately).
46 root 1.176 - fall back to backup config file if main config file cannot be parsed.
47 root 1.178 - reduce shimmering during smooth scrolls.
48 root 1.172 - rely on AnyEvent to work around totally broken windows vista
49     tcp/ip subsystem once more (where getpeername returns fantasy
50     ports).
51     - use newer BDB version that works around windows vista tcp/ip
52     breakage.
53 root 1.173 - initialise the default resolver during startup, as windows vista
54     forces us back to the desktop when doing this later(!).

57 root 1.164 - mark hidden mapspaces visually with a question mark.
58 root 1.165 - make hidden spaces as light as the darkest normal spaces.

67     log the error, but do not crash, instead, ignore the failure).
68     - try to log, instead of crash, on the "cannot call update method"
69     problem.

204 elmex 1.62 - when the message window is hidden and the input is activated, it will
205     become visible again.
206     - the max number of paragraphs in the chattabs were not limited,
207     leading to a naughty memory leak

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