[htsserver-devel] htsserver 0.5.8 released!

[Uwe H. <uh...@bi...>]

Hi everyone.

I nearly forgot to announce the release of htsserver 0.5.8 on this
mailing list :-)

This is the first release that is (at least in parts) playable.


NEWS:
-----

 * Removed the config-options max_connections and max_players. Holsham
   Traders will feature unlimited number of players.
 * Every player now gets two different transporters in the beginning.
 * More verbosive logging.
 * You now have the possibility to buy and sell goods from/to a town
   into any of your transporters which are in that town.
 * htsserver now uses htsprotocol 0.4.5.
 * A player can now have transporters and drive them from one town to
   another.
 * Wrote some initial town-handling code.
 * At the beginning of the game every town gets a (randomly chosen)
   number of goods with random prices and amounts.
 * Lots of internal improvements and increased readability of the code.
 * Several bugfixes.
 * htsserver now requires GLib. Lots of functions have been replaced by
   Glib-equivalents which are more secure and more portable.
 * Upgraded to autoconf 2.49a.
 * Should compile on HP/UX now.
 * Documentation updates.

Read the ChangeLog for details.
