Apologies all around. An issue with my e-mail prevented me from
sending out a proper changelog with my announcement.

So, here is the changelog for 1.3:

* Tile and Token Laying
- Hexes which are eligible for tile and token lays are highlighted
- Only a game hint, not enforced.

* Revenue Calculation
- Maximum revenue for the owned trains is suggested
- Presetting for the revenue entry, has still to be confirmed or can be
adjusted
- Should incorporate all game specific rules, including bonus rules

* Map Correction
- Downgrade of tiles is now possible
- Only tile availability is checked, otherwise no restrictions are applied
- Tile lays that require the re-laying out of tokens are not possible

* General
- Prevent 'foreign' token being layed on reserved home token slots.
- Fixed bugs in OO-tile and token laying.
- Fixed occasional incorrect priority deal assignment after 1830-style auctions.
- Fixed disappearance of last (highest) train bought.
- Added option to fix tile orientation (used for 1835 Hamburg).

* 1830
- Fixed possibility of buying a Diesel at exchange price without an
exchange taking place.

* 1835
- Finished/Fixed Prussian formation
- Allow 100% share ownership and nationalization.
- Bugs in initial round player order (Clemens variant) and BY flotation.
- Added several variant options.

* 1856
- (also for 18EU) added (invisible) City object to Goderich/Hamburg tile to
facilitate revenue calculation.
- Fixed bug in effect of repeated 5% CGR share sales on share price.
- Fixed W&S token lay cost problem.

* 18EU
- Fixes for bankruptcy rules (not yet tested under all possible circumstances).
