Quadra

File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: 1.1.6

Notes:

We changed the version numbering to the system used
by the Linux kernel and so many other open source
projects. Accordingly, this is a development release.

This release has been tested on Linux only, but should
work without problem on Windows.

There are security fixes in this release, thanks to
Stan Bubrouski (stan@ccs.neu.edu).


Changes:

 * Version numbering will now be of the
   "major.minor.patchlevel" format, where an even
   "minor" number means a stable release and an odd
   "minor" number means a development release (similar
   to the Linux kernel version numbering).

 * Fixed possible security holes.

 * Quadra is not SUID root anymore, to avoid
   security problems. Only the Svgalib driver
   requires root privileges. You can either run
   "chmod 4711 /usr/games/quadra" or play the game
   as root.

 * Svgalib is no longer strictly required, but will
   be used if available.

 * Partial PNG support in resource file.

 * Improved README file.
