+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
+
 Prerelease Version 0.9b [4 NOV 95]
