Xtank 1.3f is released
Kurt J. Lidl
both azathoth.sura.net and from ftp.eng.umd.edu.
(The first site listed is better connected and faster than the 3/60 that
is ftp.eng.umd.edu. Azathoth is a DECstation 5000 that has over twice
as much memory, and much faster disk drives. You probably want to snarf
your copy from there, but what the hey, *I* don't care, really.)
If you get this distribution, make sure you read both the README
file and the Help/xtank.FAQ file.
New features:
* support for 386BSD threading.
No support for dynamic loading yet, but we are working on it.
* modificiation to the robot "shooter" to bring it up to speed with
4 turret'd vehicles
* more and better RDF/TACLINK work from Aaron Eastlund
* removal of old code that wasn't ever getting defined, as part
of our code cleanup activities
* Imakefile file reorganization, tweaking of some compiler flags
on suns, hp's. Not widely tested.
* re-arranged console layout, to better handle working on screens
of size 1024x768

>New features:
It's not like Kurt to forget things, but he did.
* Force Specials, you can now force all tanks in a game to have, or
not to have any specials you want.
* New game: madman, sort of combat with a disc. You get points for
killing only if you have the disc, or kill the tank with the disc.
Not very fun for two players :-)
* Something else, that I forget.
