41 root 1.199 - work around various ATI/Mesa driver bugs in glTexImage2D by always

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

63     this really is a bug that needs fixing inside pango.
64 root 1.182 - include a japanese font (Mona, selected for license and size) with the distribution.
65     - include our own fonts.conf file, to speed up startup and to be able to control

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

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

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

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

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