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

53 root 1.190 - linking against the opengl library works everywhere, except on Mac OS X 10.6,

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

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

78 root 1.175 to Setup=>Client to control this.
79     - fix positioning of popup windows.
80     - move autopickup enable (formerly inhibit) to menubar.
81 root 1.177 - correctly display face changes for inventory objects.
82 root 1.173 - verify databases if we are the first process to register, to

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

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

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

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

248     deep red :-)
