Version 0.9.1b released 10/23/2004
53: Utility marker: planet id's and hotkey (alt+c) for connections
53: Set max zoom to 2000 (maximum possible w/o getting rounding errors that messes the painting)
53: added "-addindir" option to the commandline - usefull for programmers that wants to develop addins
54: Fixed a possible TC bug: Increase techlevel on base, buy torp, decrease techlevel; would let you buy torps w/o paying for the techlevel rise
54: Fixed a bug that let you unbuild torps at a base
54: When a useless mission is selected, it shows in red in the combobox, not just in the combobox list
54: Support for mission.ini
54: Documented many events, and made constants for these
54: Feature: cobols ignore warpwell setting. Same for HYP ships. If HYP ship gets a WP set with a destination greater than 300ly away, hyper jump is activated: fc is set to HYP and warp to 1. if dist <340 or >360 wp is cut to 350ly
54: Option: turn on/off auto Hyperjump.
54: Addins repository now on http://jvc.addins.sourceforge.net
54: Bugreport about it was not possible to doubleclick to same location to clear waypoint, when own marker type was first in marker list was not reproducable, so the bug report is removed
54: When inserting a temporary marker, also add the TemporaryMarker name to the view, so it is shown
54: If an image do not exist in the images directory, report it once in the error window, and continue as usual. This will help some MAC problems, but not all.
54: Hyperjump cirles improved: If a hyperjump circle do not overlap another, the 'band' it covers can be selected. If hyperjump circles overlap, only the overlapping intersection areas can be selected for waypoints
54: Added to autohyp: set FC to 'PYH' and warp to ship best warp when setting waypoint to less than 300 ly AND ship fc=HYP and warp=1
55: Scanned ship panel updates nick name changes when changed from addins (e.g. from shiptracker)
55: Avians get +10 HP in happiness prediction
55: Fixed zoom to max 10000 (better warpwell management)
55: Tow list shows ships in player/ally/enemy colors for easier tow identification
55: Shows indirect techlevel upgrade cost in tooltips over the credits cost
55: New color scheme options (default, play, view, enemy, neutral, ally, race)
55: Shows mine sweep units in equipment tooltip
55: BugFix: jvc would loop if showing starbase from an old turn
55: Registers all markertypes at startup - only available/relevant markertypes are shown to the user
56: BugFix: JVC increased techlevel if there where placed tube parts or torpedos on a base that it could not build itself
56: Added shutdownhook. If jvc is forced to shutdown (ctrl-c, OS halt) jvc saves it's data. Nice on my KDE so i don't have to remember to close jvc to save ;)
56: Added -noshutdownhook option if one don't want jvc to save data when it is forced to shutdown
56: Added threading for heavy tasks, e.g. load/save - makes ui a bit more responsive/userfriendly
56: Setup proper default settings for new jvcdb and new game db (addins, views, markers etc.)
56: Moved icons to addin locations where necessary
56: Removed zero unit minefields after a turn
56: Did some speed optimizing on some of the planet/ship panels
