since this release
- Multiplayer support was added for the Windows version, at long last.
- Help text is now shown for new players. This is shown on game start in
novice mode, but won't be shown again after a successful flight. The help
text will also appear in other single player modes, but only if it looks
like you're really struggling to get the plane off the ground. - It's no longer possible to flip the plane upside down while sitting
motionless on the runway (a bug since the original DOS versions). - It's no longer possible to get wounded on the ground. If a plane shoots
another on the ground, that's a successful raid. This fixes a bug where
a wounded plane on the runway would still be damaged after takeoff. - The game no longer freezes up in multiplayer mode if the other player
quits. When establishing a connection, a helpful message is shown about how
to abort. - An extra help doc was added for macOS users.
- If the game quits with an error, a friendly dialog box now shows the error.
- Some minor manpage fixes: the deleted missiles mode flag is no longer
mentioned, and the spacing appears correct on OpenBSD man(1). - Lots more internal cleanups making good progress towards eventually adding
support for custom levels.
