[Arianne-announce] Stendhal 1.10 released

[Katie R. <ky...@st...>]

Hi all, we're happy to announce a new Stendhal release.

Stendhal 1.10 includes both cosmetic and hidden (but deep!) change. On the cosmetic side are animated shop signs, improved creature and NPC images. Hidden, are changes to the handling of status icons (like poisoned), which is now controlled by the server and supports multiple indicators. Also, in-game trading announcements are now displayed on the website at https://stendhalgame.org/trade/.

You can read the full announcement and see screenshots at http://arianne.sourceforge.net/news/stendhal-1-10-more-than-cosmetic-change.html or the technical changelog here:
