Thud 1.0 Finally Released

Hi everyone. Today I released version 1.0 of Thud. You can see the File Release section for further information and to download the .jar file, but here is the list of changes:

 New Features:

* Better ANSI support: background colors and underline mode now supported
* If you are in a tank, it will show a red line indicating turret facing
* Other jumping mechs show a green line indicating jump heading
* Hex numbers along side and top now have a black bar behind them to make them much easier to read
* Hex numbers display at any zoom level - they skip numbers at far out zoom to make them readable
* New option to display your heat level in the tactical display underneath your unit

Bug Fixes:

* Much much quicker connect-to-MUX time
* Much quicker text handling
* More efficient and usable map scrolling
* Contact window listing is quicker and flickers less
* Elevation numbers now show when 'Darken Elevations' is turned off
* If the connection is dropped for some reason, Thud should now behave better. Choose your connection from the menu to reconnect
* Menu items properly disabled/enabled depending on connection status
* Choosing a new connection while still connected should disconnect properly first, then reconnect
* No more duplicate contacts on unknowns (seismic or BAP contacts)
* More misc. bug fixes than you can shake a stick at

Have fun,
- Tony
