15 root 1.200 2.06 Fri Dec 4 15:35:33 CET 2009
16 root 1.199 - work around the Apple/NVIDIA font problem (a bug in glTexSubImage2D that
17 root 1.198 apple has no intention to fix, so we do the slow read/update/write way).
18 root 1.199 - work around various ATI/Mesa driver bugs in glTexImage2D by always
19     providing initialisation data for textures. Do they ever test their drivers
20     with, say, some newbie opengl code?
21 root 1.197 - stat change messages did not differentiate between attuned, repelled etc.
22 root 1.195 - work around a bug in the nvidia driver which mishandles alpha textures
23     with env mode REPLACE, causing all magic maps to be white only.
24 root 1.196 - do not use mipmapping for tiles - the trade-off was not worth it.
25 root 1.195
26 root 1.192 (2.05) Tue Sep 29 11:21:00 CEST 2009
27     - intermediate os x binary release only.
28 root 1.190 - linking against the opengl library works everywhere, except on Mac OS X 10.6,
29     which some people even spent money on (this seems to break a great number
30     of opengl apps actually).
31 root 1.191 - (os x binary) update libsdl to 1.2.14.
32 root 1.186
33 root 1.189 2.05 Tue Sep 15 20:31:15 CEST 2009
34 elmex 1.188 - changed completer algorithm, thanks go to marcmagus!

36    
37 root 1.184 2.04 Sun Apr 26 21:03:40 CEST 2009
38 root 1.183 - work around incompatible ABI change between 1.22 and 1.24 by using a runtime check,
39     this really is a bug that needs fixing inside pango.
40 root 1.182 - include a japanese font (Mona, selected for license and size) with the distribution.
41     - include our own fonts.conf file, to speed up startup and to be able to control
42     font selection.
43 root 1.181 - change confusing login successful message to "connect to server successful".
44 root 1.182 - update BDB and EV in win32 builds to work around the event loop creation bug.

49     - move toplevel menu into a menu popup.
50 root 1.175 - use fontsize for chekcbox size requests to get a better layout.
51     - autopickup spellbooks, skillscrolls and valuables by default.
52 root 1.174 - automatically save config/layout on exit and add config options
53 root 1.175 to Setup=>Client to control this.
54     - fix positioning of popup windows.
55     - move autopickup enable (formerly inhibit) to menubar.
56 root 1.177 - correctly display face changes for inventory objects.
57 root 1.173 - verify databases if we are the first process to register, to
58     detect corruption as is common on windows (but not limited to
59     windows, unfortunately).
60 root 1.176 - fall back to backup config file if main config file cannot be parsed.
61 root 1.178 - reduce shimmering during smooth scrolls.
62 root 1.172 - rely on AnyEvent to work around totally broken windows vista
63     tcp/ip subsystem once more (where getpeername returns fantasy
64     ports).
65     - use newer BDB version that works around windows vista tcp/ip
66     breakage.
67 root 1.173 - initialise the default resolver during startup, as windows vista
68     forces us back to the desktop when doing this later(!).

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

79 root 1.168 - incorporate tips of the day by botz (former madness).
80 root 1.169 - handle failure to load a music face more gracefully (still
81     log the error, but do not crash, instead, ignore the failure).
82     - try to log, instead of crash, on the "cannot call update method"
83     problem.
84 root 1.162

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

217 root 1.63 0.9966 Sat Mar 22 14:26:05 CET 2008
218 elmex 1.62 - when the message window is hidden and the input is activated, it will
219     become visible again.
220     - the max number of paragraphs in the chattabs were not limited,

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