19 root 1.217 - support overriding the audio driver at runtime, for folks who know
20     what they are doing.
21     - upgrade to libSDL 1.2.14/SDL_mixer 1.2.11 for the GNU/Linux and
22     windows binaries, and also compile in multiple drivers (pulseaudio
23     disabled currently because it's too sucky and crashes on probe).
24 root 1.212 - replace level by minimum level, and damage by effective casting level
25     (for servers > 2.93).
26     - added some commandline arguments: <host> <user> <password>,

46     code in fow_texture.

48 root 1.200 2.06 Fri Dec 4 15:35:33 CET 2009
49 root 1.199 - work around the Apple/NVIDIA font problem (a bug in glTexSubImage2D that
50 root 1.198 apple has no intention to fix, so we do the slow read/update/write way).
51 root 1.199 - work around various ATI/Mesa driver bugs in glTexImage2D by always
52     providing initialisation data for textures. Do they ever test their drivers
53     with, say, some newbie opengl code?
54 root 1.197 - stat change messages did not differentiate between attuned, repelled etc.
55 root 1.195 - work around a bug in the nvidia driver which mishandles alpha textures

60 root 1.192 (2.05) Tue Sep 29 11:21:00 CEST 2009
61     - intermediate os x binary release only.
62 root 1.190 - linking against the opengl library works everywhere, except on Mac OS X 10.6,
63     which some people even spent money on (this seems to break a great number
64     of opengl apps actually).

67 root 1.189 2.05 Tue Sep 15 20:31:15 CEST 2009

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

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

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

98     ports).
99     - use newer BDB version that works around windows vista tcp/ip
100     breakage.
101 root 1.173 - initialise the default resolver during startup, as windows vista
102     forces us back to the desktop when doing this later(!).

253     become visible again.
254     - the max number of paragraphs in the chattabs were not limited,

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