I have finally managed to add a missing feature that affects all games implemented so far (except 1825): the operating company order is now dynamic. After each company turn the operating order is recalculated. The OR panel will be recreated if the order has changed. I am also gradually fixing and implementing a number of outstanding bugs and minor requests, many of which come from John David Galt's long list. Done so far: - If a company has no train, "No train" is reported below the map instead of "Withhold". - Show grayed out "Buy Train" button in the train buying step if the company has no money, or cannot buy a train for any other reason. - Fix treasury selling tooltip (which said "buy" instead of "sell").

A few more changes: 1. Added reserved hexes facility, and applied to 18EU and 1825 maps. All this facility does is displaying the reserved-for company name in square brackets on the reserved hex (as long as no tiles are laid). Tile lays are not actually prevented. 2. Removed the "no train - no income" popup that annoys some people. 3. Allow >60% share ownership in certain cases, for the current Stock Round only. Applied to 18EU mergers. Bug #3065007 I cannot reproduce: "* If I start a company (purchase the president's share) and then Undo the act of forming it, the status window continues to show the company with the share price I set. Reported by John David Galt" In all cases I have tried, undoing the company start erases the par price. Maybe Stefan has fixed this one in the meantime?

4. During Stock rounds, a player's Autopass will be reset each time that a share or certificate limit gets exceeded as a result of some action. I have only tested this for the case of a presidency change, but it should work in all cases. 5. In Operating rounds of games where companies can own their own shares, the Treasury share trading step will be skipped if nothing can be traded. In such cases, old saved files will have a mandatory 'Done' action. For backwards compatibility, this 'Done' action will be catched and skipped in such a case. I have tested the latter in a progressed 18EU game - I hope it will work in all cases.

Erik:
I think I forgot to highlight some time ago my approach to skip actions, which
are the only available. I implemented that for the startRound auctions.
I have added a step in the GameManager process method:
// only pass available => execute automatically
if (!isGameOver() && possibleActions.containsOnlyPass()) {
result = process(possibleActions.getList().get(0));
}
I check if there is only only a pass action available, if so the pass action
gets executed automatically. The advantage is that this keeps the legacy files
100% compatible with the new one and I do not have to check anytime creating
actions if there is only a pass and then remove that action.
At that time I considered adding that for the Done action, but I feared to
many side effects. There are two possible extensions: Maybe there could be two
types of Done actions (required/possible to skip) and/or a configuration
option to automatically skip done actions or not (It might be surprising for
newbies if the done is automatically done).

Stefan,
I agree with your approach.
On a related note: I think that at some point we should bite the bullet and
remove all code that only exists for backwards compatibility of saved files.
Perhaps with version 1.5 (with a warning to the users). Before that, we
should (or at least I should) update all my test saved files by loading and
resaving. That should fix most incompatibilities, though perhaps not all of
them.
Erik.
