[Tradermissions-announce] TraderMissions 0.2.0

[Roger O. <de...@ya...>]

Greetings TraderMissions Subscribers!  (All three of you :)

  I'm proud to announce the release of TraderMissions 0.2.0.  It would
have happened on Saturday, but I decided to test a portion of the code
I hadn't really stressed before, and so discovered horrifying crippling
bugs which needed to be fixed before the release.
  So I can say that this release is completely free of horrifying
crippling bugs(*)!

  TM 0.2 is the "stable" branch from now until I appoint another one. 
This means that your saved games, any scenarios or plugins you might
make - all if it is forward compatible.  Ideally, I'll keep everything
compatible when 1.0 is rolled out - at the very least I'll provide
people with a script they can use to convert to a new version.  So feel
free to add onto the game without fear that your addon will become
obsolete.

  And, since no announcement would be complete without a dump from the
changelog, here's what's new:

   - Timeouts added to random missions
   - Ships that follow the player can now be limited to certain sectors
   - Initial GCC3.2 compatability
   - Ship tradeins, transfer of mission-related cargo
   - Upper limit to indivdual addons
   - Regenerative shielding
   - A number of dialogs now allow double-clicks.
   - Down key now acts as a brake.
   - Saving game gives feedback
   - Some buttons can now be activated by the enter key
   - Random Mission Substitution now works on all fields
   - New intro screen

Enjoy!
