24 root 1.199 - work around the Apple/NVIDIA font problem (a bug in glTexSubImage2D that
25 root 1.198 apple has no intention to fix, so we do the slow read/update/write way).
26 root 1.199 - work around various ATI/Mesa driver bugs in glTexImage2D by always
27     providing initialisation data for textures. Do they ever test their drivers
28     with, say, some newbie opengl code?

41 root 1.186
42 root 1.189 2.05 Tue Sep 15 20:31:15 CEST 2009

47 root 1.183 - work around incompatible ABI change between 1.22 and 1.24 by using a runtime check,
48     this really is a bug that needs fixing inside pango.
49 root 1.182 - include a japanese font (Mona, selected for license and size) with the distribution.
50     - include our own fonts.conf file, to speed up startup and to be able to control

61 root 1.174 - automatically save config/layout on exit and add config options
62 root 1.175 to Setup=>Client to control this.
63     - fix positioning of popup windows.
64     - move autopickup enable (formerly inhibit) to menubar.
65 root 1.177 - correctly display face changes for inventory objects.
66 root 1.173 - verify databases if we are the first process to register, to
67     detect corruption as is common on windows (but not limited to
68     windows, unfortunately).
69 root 1.176 - fall back to backup config file if main config file cannot be parsed.
70 root 1.178 - reduce shimmering during smooth scrolls.
71 root 1.172 - rely on AnyEvent to work around totally broken windows vista

73     ports).
74     - use newer BDB version that works around windows vista tcp/ip
75     breakage.
76 root 1.173 - initialise the default resolver during startup, as windows vista
77     forces us back to the desktop when doing this later(!).

88 root 1.168 - incorporate tips of the day by botz (former madness).
89 root 1.169 - handle failure to load a music face more gracefully (still
90     log the error, but do not crash, instead, ignore the failure).
91     - try to log, instead of crash, on the "cannot call update method"
92     problem.

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

228     become visible again.

232     deep red :-)
