Bygfoot Football Manager 1.6.2 and 1.7.2 released

Bygfoot is a small and simple graphical football (a.k.a. soccer) manager game featuring many internat. leagues & cups. You manage a team from one such league: you form the team, buy & sell players, get promoted or relegated and of course try to be successful.

Versions 1.6.2 (stable) and Bygfoot 1.7.2 (development) are available now.

There weren't any major changes; some bugs were fixed and I had to remove the official team names and real player names from the game because of trademark considerations. You can still download an archive with the official names at http://www.bygfoot.com.

If you've compiled Bygfoot 1.7.1 or 1.6.1 yourself, you can use the bygfoot-update script to upgrade to 1.7.2 or 1.6.1. However, the update script shipped with 1.7.1 is a bit immature, so here's how you have to do the update (you shouldn't experience problems if you update 1.6.1):

First possibility:
Call bygfoot-update and apply the first patch (revision 2).
Quit the update by pressing Ctrl-C.
Call the update script again and apply the remaining patches.

This should make sure that everything's all right.

Second possibility:
Call bygfoot-update and apply all patches.
Call bygfoot-update again. This will update the update script but of course won't install new patches because your package is already up-to-date. The old bygfoot-update script will be saved to bygfoot-update.old; you can remove it if you like.
There's a GUI frontend for the update script in support-files called bygfoot-update-gui. Unfortunately it's not executable, although it should be. So now you do a chmod 744 support-files/bygfoot-update-gui.
