The initial release (v1.0) of my Netrek XP 2006 client is now available
for public release.

It can be downloaded at
http://www.netrek.org/files/NetrekXP_2006/netrekXP2006-v1.0.zip

Just unzip the file, and place it in the directory of your choosing.
It comes with a decent netrekrc file, with good window placements, a
well designed keymap, lots of macros, and some more stuff.

The client works on Windows 95 through XP. However, Windows 95/98/ME
users will not be able to take advantage of some of the newer options.
See the README file in the docs directory for details.

This client is based on the latest version of Stas's client (Netrek XP
Mod 4.4.0.4), however there have been numerous features added, not
limited to, but including:

new ship bitmaps
new planet bitmaps
new weapons bitmaps
new sound effects
quasi-3D stereo sound, with up to 16 sounds playing at once
increased observer sound and game options support
new dashboard status timers
double buffering support to reduce screen flicker
RCD highlighting (beeplite)
det circle

and much more...

See the changes.txt file in the docs directory, or just read the next
post, which will have the new changes in their entirety.

Hope you enjoy it!
Bill
