Version 1.20

by

Version 1.20 has been released. There have been a lots of changes in internal workings of the engine and progs, probably the most notable is support for modular progs.

On Unix systems savegames and config files now are stored in home directory. This should simplify the instalation.

This version also has been tested and known to work on FreeBSD, Solaris 10 (x86 version), BeOS and Darwin (PowerPC version, which means it should work on MaxOS X).

And of course there have been other fixes and improvements, most notably in Strife.
