File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: 1.8

Notes:
This is a bug-fix release. Also, the Tads VMs are updated to the latest versions.

Changes:
- Updated the Tads virtual machine to version 2.5.14/3.0.18.1

- Fixed Unicode filename problems.  Running games from directories that
  contain Unicode characters as well as saving and loading gamestates in
  such directories should work now.

- Fixed a compilation problem on BSD systems.

- Fixed a display problem with Tads 2 games that use non-latin characters
  and don't make use of character mapping files.  The system's local
  character encoding will now be used by default for Tads 2.  Russian games
  for example that are written in the CP1251 character set using the "RTADS"
  libraries will now display correctly if the system's character set is also
  CP1251 ("ru_RU.CP1251" in Linux for example; note that "ru_RU.UTF-8"
  won't work since the character set must match the one of the game.)

  Tads 2 games should really use mapping files though; this is just a
  work-around to allow for those that don't to display correctly.
