Really Rather Good Battles In Space

Version 1.14 - 04/06/10

reinstated patch for unicode support in Linux to included Squirrel distribution, which was accidentally overwritten a long time ago when upgrading Squirrel to a newer version. As such the game should once again successfully compile on Linux when using the included Squirrel distribution (for the first time in quite a while).
Added detailed step-by-step compile and install instructions for Ubuntu Linux

Version 1.13 - 04/01/09

Version 1.12 - 19/08/08

Version 1.11 - 27/07/08

switch to texture mapped fonts to greatly reduce CPU usage
fixed disappearing text in menus regression bug which occurred on certain Intel graphics cards
removed hotkey part of tutorial (apparently impossible on azerty keyboards anyway)
minor changes to Linux source packaging

Version 1.10 - 13/07/08

Linux: fix regression bug whereby in some dialogs words would only display their first letter
Linux: replace the previous workaround for the Linux-only freeze bug with a cleaner one: specify fno-strict-aliasing to compiler
Linux: when creating settings directory specify umask, don't use umask(0). On my copy of Ubuntu umask(0) produces a directory with no permissions at all

Version 1.09 - 09/07/08

lots of code changes which other than fixing very minor bugs don't actually make any difference
absolutely definitely compiles and runs in Linux, using the included Makefile, including when compiled as 64 bit
probably no longer freezes when you launch bombers on mission 1 if compiled on Linux with optimization, though the "fix" for this is the most ridiculous bodge I have ever seen

Version 1.08 - 27/06/08

Version 1.07 - 26/06/08

Version 1.06 - 06/03/08

Version 1.05 - 03/03/08

the game should no longer ever crash when you click on an enemy ship
mission 1 is easier still (the enemy ships are always displayed even when out of scanning range)

Version 1.04 - 20/01/08

Version 1.03 - 07/01/07

mission 2 no longer ever crashes when the defector's ship is destroyed
fix for above bug probably fixes some other bugs, too
mission 1 tutorial tells you to move directly down, not just downwards somewhere
mission 2 is a bit shorter

Version 1.02 - 20/12/06

Version 1.01 - 16/12/06

fixed starting view position on mission 2
some tutorial messages which must be followed for the mission to continue cannot be skipped
on the menu screen the escape key reloads main menu rather than quitting game if options menu open
added readme.txt to start menu folder with Windows installer

Version 1.0 - 05/12/06

mission briefing voiceovers no longer use the wrong name for the Artilian empire, and additionally sound a bit more dramatic
removed obsolete Argonians.dat/.nut from each mission dir

Version beta 4 - 03/12/06

Version beta 3 - 02/12/06

made mission 2 shorter
game advises you not to launch any torpedo bombers in mission 2 (this makes it much easier)
changed "Argonian Empire" to "Artilian Empire"
removed 1280*1024 resolution option because it makes all the text and UI too small
added rrgbis64 make option that may or may not make it compile successfully on 64 bit computers
included icon in png as well as ico format

Version beta 2.1 - 27/11/06

Version beta 2 - 21/11/06
