I've released the latest version of the Windows client, which has been
renamed to Netrek XP 2009. The client is available for download at
http://www.netrek.org/files/NetrekXP_2009/netrekinstall2009v1.exe and
the source code is available at
http://netrek.cvs.sourceforge.net/netrek/client/netrekxp/ or at
http://www.netrek.org/files/NetrekXP_2009/.
Changes and fixes are as follows:
Netrek XP 2009, Version 1.0: (Released July-2008)
General bug fixes:
1) Fix to cloak bug where ships would briefly be seen to flash when
entering
tactical.
2) Various bug fixes for play on a paradise server.
New features:
1) Addition of 3rd metaserver to the metaserver list.
2) Added support for new server feature packets (lame_refit,
whydead_2,
generic_32_b).
3) Added new timerType option for displaying useful game-related
timers like
surrender, sb reconstruct, INL, and t mode duration.
4) Added game paused message to local window (at TTS location) if
server is
paused, such as during an INL timeout.
General changes:
1) Removed option for ship specific netrekrc file (rcfile-<ship>).
Still can
use ship specific keymaps and buttonmaps.
Enjoy!

That was a bug?
Yes, of course it was. Sadly it was fixed last year but Bill didn't
feel it important enough to release an update to "his" client.
