sdl-sopwith-2.2.0
  • 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.
