25     what they are doing.
26     - upgrade to libSDL 1.2.14/SDL_mixer 1.2.11 for the GNU/Linux and
27     windows binaries, and also compile in multiple drivers (pulseaudio
28     disabled currently because it's too sucky and crashes on probe).

54 root 1.199 - work around the Apple/NVIDIA font problem (a bug in glTexSubImage2D that

56 root 1.199 - work around various ATI/Mesa driver bugs in glTexImage2D by always
57     providing initialisation data for textures. Do they ever test their drivers
58     with, say, some newbie opengl code?
59 root 1.197 - stat change messages did not differentiate between attuned, repelled etc.
60 root 1.195 - work around a bug in the nvidia driver which mishandles alpha textures

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

71 root 1.186
72 root 1.189 2.05 Tue Sep 15 20:31:15 CEST 2009

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

93     - fix positioning of popup windows.
94     - move autopickup enable (formerly inhibit) to menubar.
95 root 1.177 - correctly display face changes for inventory objects.
96 root 1.173 - verify databases if we are the first process to register, to
97     detect corruption as is common on windows (but not limited to
98     windows, unfortunately).
99 root 1.176 - fall back to backup config file if main config file cannot be parsed.
100 root 1.178 - reduce shimmering during smooth scrolls.
101 root 1.172 - rely on AnyEvent to work around totally broken windows vista
102     tcp/ip subsystem once more (where getpeername returns fantasy
103     ports).
104     - use newer BDB version that works around windows vista tcp/ip
105     breakage.
106 root 1.173 - initialise the default resolver during startup, as windows vista
107     forces us back to the desktop when doing this later(!).

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

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