[phpDiplomacy-news] webDiplomacy 0.90 released (formerly phpDiplomacy)

[kestas <kes...@gm...>]

Diplomacy is a popular strategy game in which you battle to control
Europe, but this isn't a game of luck; to win you must be diplomatic
and strategic, making and breaking alliances and bargains.
webDiplomacy takes the fight for Europe to the internet.

With a complete adjudicator established in 0.8x, 0.90 focuses on
improving the user-interface of the site; either making aesthetic
improvements, e.g. wide-ranging CSS tweaks, providing more useful
information, e.g. the new game-panels and home page, or adding new
interface elements, e.g. the new game list search menus. Lots of other
smaller features are added, such as e-mail validation, and we have
changed the name from phpDiplomacy to webDiplomacy, since the "php"
prefix wasn't widely recognizable to players as intended.

Changelog:
Notable changes are:
- New game search menus;
- Home page displaying game notices and summary info for all active
games/active forum threads;
- Richer, more informative, more interactive game panel/summary block
- E-mail validation, forgotten password recovery
- Country chance balancing, helping to prevent unlucky runs of
repeated same countries (while keeping the selection random as the
rules state)
- More admin control-panel options, and links from the control-panel
- Pagination for the game listings and forum pages
