+Release Version 1.2 [WILL HOPEFULLY SOON BE RELEASED...]
+--------------------------------------------------------
+       - network multiplayer games with upto four players
+       - no separate network server needed; each client can
+         fork a network server at startup if there's no server
+         running at this moment
+       - possibility to invoke the game to act as a standalone
+         network server (on a separate machine, for example)
+       - local multiplayer games with upto four players
+       - support for upto four joysticks
+       - completely free customizable keyboard and joystick
+         for all four players individually
+       - new joystick calibration screen which can be left
+         (with Escape key) if no joystick is connected... ;-)
+       - new (working) GIF graphics loader (but still support
+         for the old XPM method)
+       - supports private colormap with extremely less flashing
+         on 8-bit (256 colors) displays
+       - soft-scrolling with 50 frames per second (which raises
+         the system requirements and makes it completely
+         unplayable on my "old reference" 486/33 (where 0.9b runs
+         smoothly) and running at 90% speed on my K6-200.
+       - completely new file format for personal setup data
+         in ASCII format which is human readable and easily
+         customizable even with a texteditor; stored in the
+         user's home directory and no longer somewhere in the
+         game's installation directory
+       - high score lists changed: now one file per level and
+         no longer one file per level series; now using readable
+         ASCII format
+       - useful command line options to specify the X11 display,
+         the game's base (installation) directory, an alternate
+         level directory, standalone server execution and verbose
+         execution
+
+Release Version 1.1 [NOT RELEASED]
+----------------------------------
+       - new (but broken) GIF graphics loader to be independent
+         from the XPM library and replace all graphics by GIFs.
+
+Release Version 1.0 [9 APR 97] [NOT RELEASED]
+---------------------------------------------
+       - the game now contains many really playable levels,
+         not only a few levels for testing
+       - the game is now even better playable by keyboard
+         (now you have the same gameplay functionality
+         compared to playing with a joystick. Especially
+         there are diagonal directions with keyboard playing
+         and the fire buttons are mapped to the shift keys)
+       - a lot of new elements for better emulation of levels
+         from the games "Boulderdash", "Emerald Mine" and
+         "Sokoban". New elements to build "Dynablaster" style
+         levels.
+       - enhanced functionality of the level tape recorder
+         to make it possible to go on with a game at any tape
+         position
+
