[Arianne-devel] Stendhal 0.52 & Marauroa 1.32

[Stephen I. <Ste...@br...>]

Hi all, time for some new releases!

Thanks to all the hard work of the Arianne team (go to 
irc.freenode.net#arianne to meet some of them) there is a new version of 
both the client and server.

These versions fix a large number of issues, improve performance, 
introduce some new maps, a new quest and even some new features.

A Stendhal manual is found at 
http://arianne.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?title=StendhalManual

Other documentation for building the projects is also on our Wiki... 
http://arianne.sourceforge.net/wiki/

Enjoy!
