(svn r2391) - Feature: saving games happen in a seperate thread so you no longer will have to wait such a long time (especially handy on bigger maps and multiplayer games). The mouse also changes into the 'ZZZ' state :P. The thread on windows is currently given a little-bit-less-than-normal priority so it should not interfere that much with the gameplay; it will take a bit longer though. Upon the exit of the game any pending saves are waited upon.
- Fix: fixed GetSavegameFormat() so that it takes the best compressor (highest), or a forced one added with the parameter
- Open issues:
1. Don't attempt to load a game while saving is in progress, it will kick you back to the intro-screen with only the vast ocean to look at.
2. The server is disabled from threaded-saving, but might be enabled in the future.
3. Current implementation only allows 1 additional running thread.
4. Stupid global variables.....grrr
Big thanks for TrueLight and the amazing memorypool :D

(svn r2387) - CodeChange: made the saveload code more readable and also removed the 'byte' saveload arrays which means you can save an array of more than 255 elements, or bigger structs than 255 bytes. This doesn't yet solve the problem that a chunk can be a maximum of 16384 big.
- Fix: also fix an unnoticed error in SlSaveLoadConv() due to wrong types.

(svn r2192) - Add greater control to the 'message options' window. Now you can turn off the telegraphc ticker sound for summarized messages, or turn off news-messages altogether (you get a red blot to notify you though). The [<][>] set the settings in one way, while clicking on the option itself, cycles it. This commit also 'fixes' bugs [1166973], [1121484] and patch [1169930].
- I also changed an order of strings from On, Off to Off, On, so this can be used ingame with the WWT_4 widget type.
- Since the newssettings now take 2 bits per setting (off/summary/on) _news_display_opt is widened to 32 bits and the settings code changed slightly to accomodate for a maximum of 16 message-types.

(svn r2112) -Fix: ExtMidi no longer halts the game while starting a song
-Fix: Redirect stdin/stdout/stderr of the ExtMidi process to /dev/null, to prevent it from writing to the terminal
While here give the ExtMidi functions canonical names

(svn r2046) -Codechange: moved all waypoint code to waypoint.c/waypoint.h
-Codechange: rewrote some functions while moving waypoint-stuff
-Add: added support for 64k waypoints
-Fix: made the waypoint struct a bit more logic (no bit-fucking)

(svn r2004) - Fix: [ 1149487 ] Autosave ignoring settings
- Fix: [ 1153926 ] All my settings in vain... IGNORED!
- Change: I hope I got it all right. Pressing 'New Game' (either choosing random or a preset scenario) and 'Create Scenario' will start a new game with the settings and difficulty in the intro menu. Using 'Load Game' and 'Play Scenario' will take the values from the savegame/scenario itself.

(svn r1986) - Fix: free _config_file when shutting down openttd. Strange that Valgrind didn't catch this, kudos to TrueLight
- Feature (small): new command-line option -c <config_file>. You can have OpenTTD load alternative config files with this setup, handy for servers, or for saves from other players if you don't want to rename your own config. This will have to do until all game-related settings are saved ingame. Couldn't find the SF patch, so credits to the guy that wrote it.

(svn r1817) -Codechange: Moved depot-functions to depot.c
-Codechange: Added wrappers around depot-access (GetDepot no exists)
-Codechange: Made depot-functions a bit more logic (no longer
GetDepotByTile crashes your game when you request it on a non-depot tile)
-Add: made depots dynamic (yes, 64k depots are possible now)

(svn r1799) -Codechange: [ Multistop ] Added debug class "ms" and more debugging
output for multistops

(svn r1771) -Add: Industries are now dynamic (up to 64k industries). Generating
1kx1k maps should now be much faster, and give more than just oil-stuff ;)

(svn r1768) -Codechange: Store town index in _map2 of town tiles
Moved house type from _map2 to _map3_hi for MP_HOUSE
Moved foundation and roadworks from _map2 to _map3 for
MP_STREET
This increases game speed by a factor of around 15(!) if many cities are around.
Converting an old game is done automagically, but can take a while

(svn r1764) -Add: dynamic towns, you can now have up to 64k towns (let me know when
you have that amount of towns in a map ;))

(svn r1747) - Fix: [network] ottd should compile when networking is disabled.
- Change: change strgen project file to get rid of warning.

(svn r1721) -Feature: It is now possible to build multiple road stations (up to 8) on
a single station.
Thanks to: Truelight for the saveload code, Darkvater and Hackykid for
network testing and Tron for proof-reading 1500 lines of diff.

(svn r1667) - Feature: Signs are now shown in the color of the player who created them
(Note: The player information is currently not stored in savegames. Upon loading a game the signs will all be gray again)

(svn r1616) Introduce ttd_strlcat() and use it to de-uglify some piece of code in misc_cmd.
While here rename the len parameter of ttd_strlcpy() to size, because it is a buffer size and not a string length.
Also add -Wwrite-strings to the Makefile, because the above mentioned piece of code was the only part which triggered this warning.

(svn r1525) -Codechange: rewrote the _order_array, now it can be made dynamic.
-Codechange: renamed all 'schedule' stuff to 'order(list)'
-Codechange: moved all order-stuff to order_cmd.c / order.h
-Codechange: vehicles that share orders are now linked to eachother
with next_shared/prev_shared in Vehicle

Developers: please use AssignOrder to assign data to an order. If not,
you _WILL_ make the save-routine to assert!

(svn r1488) -Fix: fixed some spelling mistakes (tnx to Tron)
-Fix: fixed some compiler-warnings

(svn r1486) -Codechange: moved all 'signs' stuff to signs.c/h and prepared it for
dynamic arrays

(svn r1479) -Added highscore chart (accessible from the difficulty window) with top5 companies for a given difficulty (select the difficulty in the menu)
-Added endgame score on 1 jan 2051 where you are added to the highscore if sufficiently large points have been accumulated. Game is paused while
-These values are saved in hs.dat; added read/write functions for it
-Added code to delete all windows to show charts. There is one issue left: somehow a news-gui pops up in front of the the chart at the end of the game.

(svn r1453) Feature: MD5 hash check for TTD files
The original TTD files are now checked with a MD5 sum to determine which version of the grf files is used and to warn about possible file corruptions. (Thanks to ledow for the original patch)

(svn r1440) -Feature: Allows more flexible airport layouts now, as the number of
terminals in every group can be freely chosen
-Codechange: AT_OILRIG is now 15, so that new airports can be added
easily.

(svn r1417) Fix: The invisible tiles on the southern border are now converted to class MP_VOID when an old map (with wrong classified invisible tiles) is loaded.
I bumped the minor savegame version for that, even though it's not really necessary. We're not gonna run out of minor savegame versions anyway though. ;)

(svn r1407) -Codechange: changed a lot around _stations, _vehicles, _towns and _industries
(in prepare of dynamic arrays):
- DEREF_XXX is changed into GetXXX
- All direct call are directed via GetXXX
- struct Industry has now an index-field
- ENUM'd some stuff
- Replaced home built loops with FOR_ALL_XXX
- Added _stations_size, _vehicles_size, ... which gives the length of the
array (which will be dynamic in the near future)
- Changed lengtof(XXX) to _XXX_size (e.g. _stations_size)
- Removed all endof(XXX) (because mostly it was part of a FOR_ALL_XXX)
- Made the sort-functions of all 4 dynamic
- Made all 4 Initialize functions more of the same
- Some minor tab-fixing and stuff
(tnx to Tron for proof-reading my 100kb patch ;))

Note for all: please do NOT directly call _stations, _vehicles, _towns and
_industries, but use the right wrapper to access them. Thank you.
Ps: please also do not use 'v++', where v is of type Vehicle *.

(svn r1346) -Fix: fix signed/unsigned warnings
-Fix: latent removal of 2 lines from ttd.c which I forgot because the file was not saved :O

(svn r1337) Use MapMax[XY]() (or MapSize[XY]() if appropriate) instead of TILE_MAX_[XY]
While here replace one erroneous TILE_MAX_X with MapMaxY()

(svn r1321) -Fix: Revision 1302 partly solved the problem and created an other.
Should now really be solved.. now only MP_WATER is owned by OWNER_WATER

(svn r1302) -Fix: [ 1091655 ] In some older maps somehow water is owned by
OWNER_NONE instead of OWNER_WATER.
-Fix: On InitializeLandscape the map was made MP_WATER, but OWNER_NONE.
When ConvertGroundTilesIntoWaterTiles() is not called, this gives big
problems (see above). Now the owner is set to OWNER_WATER by default.

(svn r1265) -Fix: the server can also no longer use the money cheat if the
advertise-mode is active

(svn r1240) -Fix: OpenTTD once again compiles if ENABLE_NETWORK is disabled.
-Fix: removed some warnings
-Enabled ENABLE_NETWORK on windows again which I accidentally commented out.

(svn r1236) MorphOS: added make release like in OSX (tokai)
MorphOS: cleaned up the code telling the difference between AmigaOS and MorphOS (tokai)

(svn r1090) -Fix: Made the _openttd_revision variable global, and with that
hopefully killed the windows-revision problem. If WITH_REV is defined,
for both Windows as *nix system _openttd_revision is filled with normal
info, else _openttd_revision is set to 'norev000'
-Fix: Small possible server-crash

(svn r1077) Implements scripts/autoexec.scr to get executed on game starting (sign_de)
- %! allows to merge alias parameters
- \% allows to use % in alias strings
- "alias" command now overwrites the old alias list entry

(svn r1038) Feature: OpenTTD runs with the grf files of the DOS version
Please read the Readme for further information. There are some minor graphical glitches when you use the DOS files. E.g. the autorail button is a bit screwed up.

(svn r970) Added 2nd data path for all non-windows OSes
added completely customizable lang path (all non-Windows OSes)

(svn r959) -Fix: fix previous typo for workaround of braindead MSVC6 (Tron)
-Fix: added debug code to autosave cause it is buggy in multiplayer (does not remember settings; takes them from _opt instead of _new_opt (or vice versa)).

(svn r901) Small step in the process to clean up the DPARAM mess:
- reduce to 2 sizes (*DParam64 for 64bit values, *DParam for the rest)
- use inline functions instead of macros
- add assert()s to check for buffer overruns

(svn r815) Include strings.h only in the files which need it.
This should reduce the compile time after altering english.txt by about 1/3, because "only" 62 instead of 90 .c files must be recompiled.

(svn r787) Invert the sense of the DO_TRANS_BUILDINGS flag to be consistent with its own name and all other DO_* flags.
Now it is active-true.
