    - Fixed BUG found by Lars Poeschel
      One player could join without problems and if a second player joined
      this network game, the server crashed in do_contest() accessing
      illegal memory. The problem is that a contest packet is received with
      to -1 and from 1. Then in the line
    	players[ct_pkg->to].net.flags &= (0xFF - NETF_firewall);
      obviously illegal memory is accessed.
      Fixed the check of the to parameter from the contest packet. The 
      server ignores now a to value of -1.
    
    
    Version 0.11.8
    ================
    14.12.2007
    
    - Changed Docdir to $prefix/share/doc (Felipe Rafailov)
    
    - Added some more resolutions. (requested by some users)
    
    - Fixed BUG shown in: http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=242031
      (patch from: Petr Gajdos)
      In network game i wanted to use all the time a different bomb 
      instead of the first free aviable. In the code i forgot to modify
      some values. This patch should fix it now.
      (player.c:player_findfreebomb) changed i to nr.
    
    - Fixed some drawing issues with flying bombs.
    
    - The last special item use was lost on clients in a network game.
      special.use (was reset during special_clean)
      special.clean variable added to save the cleaning state.
          tested and works.
      
    - Fixed: kicked bombs can travel in time. (map.bfield was set too early)
      rewrote full bomb kicked system.
    
    - Fixed: compile warning: packets.c(635): error #592: variable "s_mod" is
      used before its value is set (reported by: David Binderman)
    
    - Fixed: Special settings will be saved into the config file.
    
    - Changed: all data will have thier own Makefile. So "make install" and
      "make dist" won't copy the CVS dirs.
    
    - Fixed: Second Player Problem
      this fix includes that if a second player was used the game got somehow
      very instable, because there have been no reset of all the game data.
      playerselection works now much better. There have been problems with 
      some keys for the second player.
    
    - Fixed: problem on slow networks with the loop that the selected player
      gfx gots selected and deselected. (infinite loop on the network)
    
    - Fixed: problem with overwriting the servers address on clients.
      problem only seen on server who gets connected from two differen ip
      addresses.
    
    Version 0.11.7
    ==============
    2006-08-15
    
    - Added: BomberClone Icon to the bomberclone win32 binary.
    
    - Added: resolution 1280x800
    
    - Testing: Security Problems found by Luigi Auriemma
      Bugs: A] memcpy crash in rscache_add
            B] information disclosure in send_pkg
            C] simple error message termination
      for more informations look here:
      http://aluigi.altervista.org/adv/bcloneboom-adv.txt
      Solutions to 
      A) rewrote the whole resend cache system, also send_mapinfo needed a
         bad workaround for a bug i couldn't find out. (to disable the workaround
         use ./configure CFLAGS=-DBUG_MAPINFO)
      B) made sure that the size of a packet is set right before send over
         the network. Found only the function (do_gameinfo) where something 
         like this occured.
    	 do_pkg will also check the size of the incoming packet with the 
    	 p->h.len value.
      C) accept the error packets only from the server of a game. Since only the
         server will send such type of packets.
    
    - Fixed: Security Problem found by Stefan Cornelius.

    - Added: "more random" by Patrik Nilsson:
      This map type is just a hacked version of "autogenerated",
      and is as the name tells more random. Since both block, 
      rock and nothing are placed randomly inside the border.
    
    - Fixed: High CPU usage in menus.
      This fix was made by Chris E..
     
    - Fixed: Bug with more as 8 diffrent player graphics.
      The window size hasen't changed if there where more as
      8 different player graphics to choose from.
    
    - Removed the Dedicated Server Support from the game.
      The whole bomberclone game is not desinged for a dedicated
      server. The test shown that the whole game would have to
      be rewritten. Also that the host can leave the game would
      not work no more.
    
    Version 0.11.6.2
    - Client network player could die two times in a game.
      After receiving the playerdata packet from a client did the
      server first the player_set_gfx routine first. Which send a
      playerid packet with a alife player back.
      Changed: player_set_gfx routine will be called after setting 
      the state of a player.
      Also do_playerid will check if the game is not running 
      or the player is still alife to set this value.

      seems they jump one field to far.

      was growing on slow PC more as one field per cycle.

    ==============
    2003-07-27
    
    - Added: two ways the game can end now. the old Bomberman
      style with getting the size of the gamefield down and

    - caccola made another Tileset (supermario)
    
    - Added: Switch to enable/disable broadcasted chats.
      So the confusing will stop why there are unknown people
      talking. You can enable it in the Network Options.
    
    - Fixed: chat_findfreeline, there was a bug in the 
      source and destination of copying the chatlines. 
      Thats why the chat got mixed up after 255 lines.
    
    - Added: maps have more options to set and it will be
      displayed in the multiplayer menu, this options can be
      saved for every map seperated.
    
    - GFX: source cleanup. Player will now drawn in order they

    Version 0.6
    ===========
    
    12) 2003-02-27
    - Fixed: The ServerMode Packet will be send with the PKGF_ackreq Flag.
      Because sometimes the clients haven't got the packet. And couldn't play
      in the game.
    
    - Fixed: Single Player Problem after trying to open a Multiplayer server
      is the Single Player mode not working right.. the Player could not die.
    
    - Fixed: Multiplayer, the game was counting the poinbts wrong and there 
      was always a winner marked even if everybody died.
    
    11) 2003-02-24
    - Fixed: bombs which are exploding more times on slow networks.
      I had some little misstake in the inpkg_check function.
    
    - I am sending now only needed packages, moving packages will be
      only every second time maybe every third time. The user is able
      to choose how often the package should be send.
    
    - Finaly there is a playerstatistic in the end of the game.
      It will hold the points and who have won the game.
    
    - The game is not ending right there where the last player died.
      I put a timeout in the game of 5 seconds. So the last few bombs 
      will explode.
    
    - pkg_error: will be shown on the screen.
    
    - version controll: old bomberclone versions will be ignored and
      they get a error message back.

    ===========
    
    9) 2003-02-14
    - In Multiplayergames, only the Server will let the
      Bombs explode. Manny tests have shown that this 
      is the best way to prevent some difficults in the
      game with the field, bomb and explosion data.
    
    - code optimized in working with struct _sockaddr
      because sockaddr_in6 is larger as sockaddr which is
      usualy used for all/the most type of network 
      connection.
    
    
    5-8) 2003-02-13
    - i made some experiments with sending bomb information
      and field information over the network.
    
    - created a inpkg_index to check for incoming packets
      which we have already got.
    
    4) 2003-02-12
    - bomb explosion will be send over the network
    
    3) 2003-02-12

      Check for important packages (pkg_field, pkg_bomb)
      and send them again. Created a resend_cache.
    
    - Windows: i put now WSAStartup and WASCleanup in the 
      network_init and network_shutdown function. Windows
      User should now able to join more times games without
      restarting the game.
    
    - MSVC: moved the function "explosion_check_field"
      in file bomb.c out of the function "do_explosion"
      and the function "check_field" in file player.c 
      out of the function "move_player".  The same i 
      have done with "draw_netupdatestate" and 
      "wait_draw_select". Because MSVC had some 
      problems with function in function declaration.

      them again and again

    - Chaning the Network Protocol from TCP to UDP. And putting 
      everything inside what is needed for a basic work.

    - I have got the first animated player for the game. 
      I hope the next will follow soon.
    
    
    Version 0.3
    ===========
    
    - First Try to Compile everything on Windows and Linux.
    
    - Network doesn't work fine with more as two Players and a Windows Client
      It works only with more as two players on Linux Systems.
