+2008-01-25
+ * fixed bug with "gray" white door not being uncovered by magnifier
+ * added score for collecting (any) key to the white key config page
+
+2008-01-22
+ * added condition "deadly when <getting hit by>" for custom elements
+ that behaves a bit like the existing "deadly when <colliding with>",
+ but with the following differences:
+ - it only kills players or friends when it was moving before it hits
+ - it does not kill players or friends that try to run into it
+
+2008-01-21
+ * fixed the following change conditions where a player element is used
+ as the "element that is triggering the custom element change":
+ - touching <element>
+ - hitting <element>
+ - explosion of <element>
+ - move of <element>
+ (the last two conditions already worked partially, but only for the
+ first player, and not for the "Murphy" player when using "move of")
+
+2008-01-20
+ * fixed crash bug caused by accessing invalid element (with value -1)
+ in UpdateGameControlValues()
+ * fixed graphical bug when using two-tile movement animations with EMC
+ game engine without explicitly using native EMC graphics engine
+
+2007-10-31
+ * fixed bug in new "can dig" feature (see below) so that an unsuccessful
+ try to push something (due to push delay) does not cause a dig action
+
+2007-10-29
+ * fixed bug with reference elements used as trigger elements on custom
+ element change pages not being recognized
+ * fixed bug with reference elements not being removed from the playfield
+ * added engine functionality that allows custom elements that "can dig"
+ other elements not only to do so when moving by themselves, but also
+ when being pushed by the player (therefore adding the functionality to
+ push one element over another element, replacing it with the new one)
+
+2007-10-23
+ * added command line function to write level sketch images to directory
+
+2007-10-20
+ * merged override and auto-override options into new override options
+ with a new data type than can take the values "no", "yes" and "auto"
+
+2007-10-18
+ * fixed growing steel wall to also leave behind steel wall instead of
+ normal, destructible wall
+ * fixed handling of rocks falling through stacks of quicksand with
+ different speed (before, the rocks just got stuck in the quicksand)
+
+2007-10-09
+ * fixed nasty bug with auto-override and normal override not working on
+ program startup (especially when current level set has custom artwork)
+
+2007-10-05
+ * version 3.2.5 released as special edition "R'n'D jue"
+
+2007-10-05
+ * fixed X11 crash bug when blitting masked title screens over background
+
+2007-10-04
+ * changed build system to support special editions (like "R'n'D jue")
+ * added (hardcoded) loading graphics for "R'n'D jue" special edition
+ * fixed X11 crash bug when scaling images with width/height less than 32
+
+2007-09-27
+ * added "background.PLAYING" (only visible as two-pixel border in game)
+ * added default level set for first start of special R'n'D version
+ * changed door animations for editor always behaving like "quick doors"
+
+2007-09-26
+ * added new custom artwork setup option "auto-override non-CE sets" for
+ automatic artwork override that is only used for level sets without
+ custom element artwork (as it does not make much sense to override
+ any artwork that redefines custom element artwork for sets using CEs)
+ * fixed default artwork for "special" R'n'D versions always using the
+ "classic" artwork as the base if base artwork is not explicitly
+ defined in "levelinfo.conf", regardless of different default artwork
+ used by the special R'n'D version -- this is needed because any such
+ custom artwork is designed using the "classic" artwork definitions as
+ the base (including menu definitions and screen positions etc., which
+ would otherwise be taken from the different special default artwork)
+
+2007-09-17
+ * fixed drawing of animated "quicksand.filling" and "quicksand.emptying"
+ for both EMC and R'n'D graphics engine (heavy workarounds needed due
+ to massively broken handling of quicksand in R'n'D game engine)
+ * fixed off-limits access to array in DrawLevelFieldCrumbledSandExt()
+ * fixed crash bug (hopefully) when scrolling with cursor keys in editor
+
+2007-09-16
+ * fixed small bug in toon drawing (introduced when fixing the crash bug)
+
+2007-09-15
+ * added graphics definition "game.panel.highscore" to display the
+ current levels current high score in the game panel
+
+2007-09-13
+ * version number set to 3.2.5
+
+2007-09-13
+ * version 3.2.4 released
+
+2007-09-13
+ * fixed crash bug in toon drawing functions for large step offset values
+
+2007-09-12
+ * fixed some problems with displaying game panel when quick-loading tape
+
+2007-09-07
+ * fixed (experimental only) redrawing of every tile per frame (even if
+ unneeded) for the extended (R'n'D based) EMC graphics engine
+ * added optimization to only calculate element count for panel display
+ if really needed (that is, if element count values defined on panel)
+ * fixed problem with special editor door redraw when entering main menu
+
+2007-09-03
+ * fixed bug with displaying background for title messages on info screen
+ * some code cleanup for the extended (R'n'D based) EMC graphics engine
+
+2007-09-01
+ * fixed bug with CE action "move player" always resulting in player 4
+ if there was a CE action with no trigger player (because the player
+ element was calculated by using log_2() from trigger player bits with
+ the value PLAYER_BITS_ANY) -- this is now fixed by also storing the
+ triggering player bit mask and handling all players in "move player"
+ * fixed bug when defined artwork cannot be found for artwork that has
+ default artwork cloned from other artwork (without default filename)
+ * added several fixes to the extended (R'n'D based) EMC graphics engine
+
+2007-08-26
+ * fixed broken editor copy and paste for custom elements between levels
+
+2007-08-25
+ * title messages are now also searched in graphics artwork directory;
+ those found in graphics directory have precendence over those found
+ in level directory -- this handles title messages stored in graphics
+ directories as part of the artwork set, just like title images; this
+ makes sense, as corresponding special font definitions for messages
+ are usually defined in the same graphics artwork directory, and also
+ because title images and title messages that are combined in a level
+ set introduction should usually not be separated when the level set
+ is used with a different artwork set (e.g. using "override graphics")
+ * fixed problem with door borders on main screen by first drawing doors
+ and then the corresponding border masks, but not vice versa
+ * fixed problem with artwork config entries using the value "[DEFAULT]";
+ this does not what one might expect, but sets the value to an invalid
+ value -- solution: simply ignore such entries, which results in this
+ value keeping its previous (real) default value (in general, entries
+ that should use their default value should just not be defined here)
+ * fixed problem with wrong fading area size from main menu to setup menu
+
+2007-08-22
+ * fixed problem with broken crumbled graphics after level set changes
+ when using R'n'D custom artwork with level sets using the EMC engine
+
+2007-05-07
+ * fixed invisible "joysticks deactivated ..." text on setup input screen
+
+2007-04-27
+ * added use of hashes created from static lists (element tokens, image
+ config, font tokens) to speed up lookup of configuration parameters
+ * fixed bug where element and graphic config token lookup was mixed up
+
+2007-04-26
+ * added "busy" animation when initializing program and loading artwork
+ * added initialization profiling for program startup (debugging only)
+
+2007-04-25
+ * fixed(?) very strange bug apparently triggered by memset() when code
+ was cross-compiled with MinGW cross-compiler for Windows XP platform
+ (this only happened when using SDL.dll also self-compiled with MinGW)
+
+2007-04-19
+ * added graphics engine directive "border.draw_masked_when_fading" that
+ enables/disables drawing of border mask over screen that is just faded
+
+2007-04-18
+ * fixed small problem with separate fading definition for game screen
+
+2007-04-14
+ * added additional configuration directives for setup screen draw offset
+ menu.draw_xoffset.SETUP[XXX] and menu.draw_yoffset.SETUP[XXX] with XXX
+ in GAME, EDITOR, GRAPHICS, SOUND, ARTWORK, INPUT, SHORTCUTS_1,
+ SHORTCUTS_2, CHOOSE_ARTWORK, CHOOSE_OTHER (where "CHOOSE_ARTWORK" is
+ used to define draw offset on custom artwork selection screens and
+ "CHOOSE_OTHER" is used on all other list style selection screens, like
+ choosing game speed or screen mode for fullscreen mode)
+ * added additional configuration directives to define main menu buttons:
+ - menu.button_name and menu.button_name.active
+ - menu.button_levels and menu.button_levels.active
+ - menu.button_scores and menu.button_scores.active
+ - menu.button_editor and menu.button_editor.active
+ - menu.button_info and menu.button_info.active
+ - menu.button_game and menu.button_game.active
+ - menu.button_setup and menu.button_setup.active
+ - menu.button_quit and menu.button_quit.active
+ * added eight pure decoration graphic definitions for the game panel
+
+2007-04-08
+ * added support for accessing native Diamond Caves II level packages
+ * fixed displaying of game panel values for Emerald Mine game engine
+ * fixed displaying end-of-level time and score values on new game panel
+
+2007-04-07
+ * added game panel control to display arbitrary elements on game panel
+ * added game panel control to display custom element score (globally
+ unique for identical custom elements) either as value or as element
+ * added ".draw_masked" and ".draw_order" to game panel control drawing
+
+2007-04-05
+ * fixed some general bugs with handling of ".active" elements and fonts
+
+2007-04-04
+ * cleanup of game panel elements (some elements were not really needed)
+ * added displaying of gravity state (on/off) as new game panel control
+ * added animation for game panel elements (similar to game elements)
+
+2007-04-03
+ * added new pseudo game mode "PANEL" to define panel fonts and graphics
+ - panel fonts now use ".PANEL" suffix instead of ".PLAYING" suffix
+ - panel graphics now use ".PANEL" suffix instead of ".DOOR" suffix
+ (else graphics would have to use ".PLAYING", which would be confusing)
+ * fixed bug when fading out to game screen with border mask defined
+
+2007-04-02
+ * added attribute ".tile_size" for element style game panel controls
+
+2007-04-01
+ * added <space> key as additional valid key to use for confirm requester
+
+2007-03-31
+ * improved menu fading, adding separate fading definitions for entering
+ and leaving a "content" screen (in general), and optional definitions
+ for the special "content" screens SCORES, EDITOR, INFO and PLAYING
+
+2007-03-30
+ * added (currently invisible) setup option to define scroll delay value
+ * fixed small bug in priority handling when auto-detecting level start
+ position in levels without player element (but player from CE etc.)
+ * added option "game.forced_scroll_delay_value" to override user choice
+ of scroll delay value for certain level sets with "graphicsinfo.conf"
+ * replaced setup option "scroll delay: on/off" by new setup option that
+ directly allows selecting the desired scroll delay value from 0 to 8
+
+2007-03-28
+ * added displaying of most game panel control elements (not animated)
+
+2007-03-26
+ * added new configuration directives to display additional game engine
+ values on the game control panel, like the following examples:
+ - game.panel.time_hh/time_mm/time_ss - level time in HH/MM/SS format
+ - game.panel.penguins - number of penguins to rescue
+ - game.panel.level_name - level name of current level
+
+2007-03-24
+ * added support for preview tile sizes "1" and "2" (1x1 and 2x2 pixels)
+
+2007-03-23
+ * added new player option "no centering when relocating" for "invisible"
+ teleportations to level areas that look exactly the same, giving the
+ illusion that the player did not relocate at all (this was the default
+ since 3.2.3, but caused visual problems with room creation in "Zelda")
+ * added new menu fading effect "melt", shamelessly stolen from "DOOM"
+
+2007-03-21
+ * improved menu fading, adding separate fading definitions for entering
+ and leaving a menu and for fading between menu and "content" screens
+ * fixed small bug with recognizing also ".font_xyz" style definitions
+
+2007-03-20
+ * improved menu fading, adding separate fading definitions for fading
+ between menu screens and fading between menu and "destination" screens
+
+2007-03-19
+ * titlemessage_initial_x and titlemessage_x set to "[DEFAULT]" in static
+ configuration (set from "[titlemessage_initial]" and "[titlemessage]")
+ * fading settings of "[titlemessage_initial]" and "[titlemessage]" set
+ to "[DEFAULT]" in static configuration (set from "[title_initial]" and
+ "[title]")
+ * improved title fading, allowing fading animation types "none", "fade"
+ and "crossfade" (including cross-fading of last title to main menu)
+
2007-03-18
* added configurability of graphics, sounds and music for title screens,
which are separated into initial title screens (only shown once at
that affect all text messages:
- [titlemessage_initial].<suffix>
- [titlemessage].<suffix>
- or use directives affect single text messages:
+ or use directives that affect single text messages:
- titlemessage_initial_x.<suffix> (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
- titlemessage_x.<suffix> (with x in 1,2,3,4,5)
