properly clear mapcells in all cases, also try a heuristic to avoid + player ghost images. + +0.9973 Mon Jul 7 09:27:59 CEST 2008 + - added a dummy "package Deliantra::Client" to bin/deliantra, as + cpan stupidly cannot install distributions by name. + - convert to new non-blocking API. + - support IPv6 server connections. + - the chat tabs now have tooltips again. + +0.9972 Thu May 22 22:45:01 CEST 2008 + - save all map changes in map cache, not just the current map (this fixes + the problem of map border "black out" in the minimap). + - use an even more compact format for minimap data. + - use an uncompressed cache for minimap data, increases memory requirements + (~1mb) but saves compression. + - close container, clear inventory, floorbox etc. to avoid a crash when + clicking on them after logging out. + - support xml formatting in ex replies (item tooltips, requires server + 2.54+). + - try to ignore repeated keypress-events for movement, as + these are usually keyrepeats. + - added default (0) for the shift_fire_stop setting + -

implement keyboard modifier display (mostly because of the numlock + problems under windows). + - work around a bug on windows where the layout font is being ignored. + +0.9966 Sat Mar 22 14:26:05 CET 2008 + - when the message window is hidden and the input is activated, it will + become visible again. + - the max number of paragraphs in the chattabs were not limited, + leading to a naughty memory leak + - the highlighting of the chattabs were deep blue where they should have been + deep red :-) + - fixed a small inconvenience in the history handling of chat tab entries + (hitting cursor-up or cursor-down won't erase what you typed by accident + anymore). + +0.9965 Sat Jan 19 05:51:39 CET 2008 + - work around a database race condition by using single-threaded + database access. + +0.9964 Fri Jan 18 06:30:13 CET 2008 + - fixed a bug where the message fontsize wasn't set correctly + - do not call glTexSubimage2D on 0x0 bitmaps, as this + crashes newer nvidia drivers. + -

ignore keyboard modifiers we are never interested in. + - improve interactivity by using a prepare, not an idle watcher, + for screen refreshes. + - limit the time spent in database handling, so we refresh the screen + even during ongoing heavy texture loading. + - load tile map at startup, not at connect time. + - tweak database accesses. + - widget protocol version 2, supports ui templates. + - increase horizontal padding for buttons a bit. + - preallocate texture name when switching video modes and the + texture can only be loaded in the background to avoid + something else taking over. + - increase padding for all text entries. + - work around a bugfix in pango that no longer is necessary + (but causes a bug with new pango versions, argh.) + - use supposedly faster readonly pango functions wherever possible. + - Canvas widget properly restores line and point widths. + - fix padding calculation. + - change semantics for align/valign in labels to behave like other + alignment values. + +0.9962 Thu Dec 27 14:29:02 CET 2007 (download.com only) + -
