40 root 1.199 - work around various ATI/Mesa driver bugs in glTexImage2D by always
41     providing initialisation data for textures. Do they ever test their drivers

50     - intermediate os x binary release only.
51 root 1.190 - linking against the opengl library works everywhere, except on Mac OS X 10.6,

55 root 1.186
56 root 1.189 2.05 Tue Sep 15 20:31:15 CEST 2009

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

77     - fix positioning of popup windows.
78     - move autopickup enable (formerly inhibit) to menubar.
79 root 1.177 - correctly display face changes for inventory objects.
80 root 1.173 - verify databases if we are the first process to register, to

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

87     ports).
88     - use newer BDB version that works around windows vista tcp/ip
89     breakage.
90 root 1.173 - initialise the default resolver during startup, as windows vista
91     forces us back to the desktop when doing this later(!).

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

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