+=====================
+0.3.0 (25 June 2007)
+=====================
+
+New features
+------------
+
+ - Architecture:
+
+ - Separation of bridge game logic from 'table' code in [Local|Remote]Table
+ and Game classes. This enables other games to be implemented as separate
+ packages and to be supported by the existing network code.
+
+
+ - Bridge facilities:
+
+ - Implementation of Thomas Andrews' "impossible bridge book" algorithm,
+ which provides a one-to-one correspondence between all possible hand deals
+ and numerical index values.
+ See http://bridge.thomasoandrews.com/impossible/ for details.
+
+
+ - Miscellaneous:
+
+ - Use ConfigObj to provide settings management for the graphical client.
+ This introduces a dependency on ConfigObj.
+
+ - Manual pages included in source distribution.
+
+
+ - Server:
+
+ - Use SQLObject (an object relational mapper, see http://www.sqlobject.org/)
+ to provide user account database; replaces the flat-file username/password
+ structure used previously. This introduces a dependency on SQLObject and
+ a compatible database backend - see the INSTALL file for more information.
+
+
+ - User interface:
+
+ - Card area display reimplemented in Cairo, with enhancements:
+
+ - Rotation of table view when user selects a position to play.
+
+ - Separation of display canvas from card and hand logic, for reusability.
+ The canvas module may be useful for other projects.
+
+ - Introduction of a preferences dialog, allowing user to customise the
+ appearance of the bridge game display.
+
+ - Error notification to user when connection is dropped unexpectedly;
+ require confirmation when user requests disconnection whilst playing game.
