Introduction</h3> + +<h3> +<a NAME="ss1.1"></a>1.1 Changes </h3> + +<h4> +Version 0.3.2 (30. June 2003)</h4> + +<ul> +<li>Almost a real KDE3 application.</li> +</ul> + +<h4> +Version 0.3.1 (31. January 2002)</h4> + +<ul> +<li>Prerelease for KDE2 (Documentation not fully adjusted).</li> + +<li>The "highscore"-file is no longer been created by the installation, but as soon as +the hall of fame has been entered. +The path (directory/filename) could be specified in the <a href="kpacman-3.html#ss3.4">configfile</a>. +If the systemwide "highscore"-file is not writable, a private file in the +home-directory of the user is used and a corresponding message is shown.</li> +</ul> + +<h4> +Version 0.3.0 (June 2000, not released)</h4> + +<ul> +<li>Ms.Pacman mode implemented (mighty modification) !</li> + +<li>Automatic Pause/Continue in Back/Foreground, for Kevin Forge +(he has the idea for Ms.Pacman too) integrated. This options can be changed using +the menu.</li> + +<li>Portuguese translation by Sérgio Fernandes.</li> + +<li>Animation of the energizers und blinking of active player ("1UP") added.</li> + +<li>Flickering during editing the hall of fame by changing the focus +removed (FocusEvents).</li> + +<li>The mousecursor could be hidden/shown while over the playground, +thru the menubar.</li> + +<li>The boardlayout (map) could be placed in external textfiles and selected +thru the configfile (kpacmanrc) if needed.</li> + +<li>Duplicate pixmaps removed. Because all pixmapfiles could be specified +thru the configfile now, pixmaps could be placed in foreign (scheme)-directories +(EyesPixmapName=../tiny/eyes.xpm), or have different names +(e.g.: LevelPixmapName=fruit.xpm).</li> + +<li>After eating the last dot, the first pixmap of the last/current direction +is shown. The initial pixmap of the north/up-direction was displayed so far.</li> +</ul> + +<h4> +Version 0.2.6 (December 11th, 1999)</h4> + +<ul> +<li> +Swedish translation of some text (unfortunately incomplete) by Johne.</li> + +<li> +By the use of special charaters (umlauts) in the swedish version, the whole +font-handling had to be rearranged.</li> + +<li> +The fonts contains (nearly) the full ISO-Latin1 characterset (no lowercase +characters).</li> + +<li> +Alignment functions built into the display routines.</li> + +<li> +No further use of xbm-fonts, therefore pbm-files were used as fonts (they +need less space, even they contains much more characters).</li> + +<li> +All textelements added to the localisation (i18n). So strings like "GAME +OVER" or "READY!" could be translated into any language.</li> + +<li> +The documentation and programm now contains my brandnew email-address.</li> +</ul> + +<h4> +Version 0.2.5 (June 20th, 1999)</h4> + +<ul> +<li> +Displaying of the hall of fame changed, hopefully this fix some rare bugs. +Use lower/raise- instead of former used hide/show-functions to switch display.</li> + +<li> +The file used for HighScore storage, will be set to worldwriteable (chmod +666) during installation. Thru this "normal" users could store their highscores +permanently.</li> + +<li> +Levels entended upto 13 (LevelPixmaps, Score), by the higher scores, the +fonts (for displaying the scored points) had to be extended too. The scores +could be variable (in the range from 10 to 9000, only the leading digit +can be not 0. exception 1600 ) now. The pixmap for the score could be larger +than the actual figure itself.</li> + +<li> +Because there is not enough room to show 13 levelsymbols in the statusline, +the position of the symbol can be specified by the <a href="kpacman-3.html#ss3.4">LevelPosition</a> +value(s).</li> + +<li> +The default-Speed of the monsters kept constant althrough higher levels, +requested by Gerald Williams.</li> + +<li> +Update-routines (display) optimized.</li> + +<li> +The documentation and programm now contains my new email-address.</li> +</ul> + +<h4> +Version 0.2.4 (January 26th, 1999 - today linux v2.2 was released)</h4> + +<ul> +<li> +Added the hall of fame to store the highscores. For this, the structure +of the bitfonts was extented to contain furthermore characters, the special-characters +(small scores during the game) moved to the control-character-region and +the fonthandling was enhanced (FontFirstChar and FontLastChar can be stored +in the Configfile).</li> + +<li> +The size of the labels in the "Change Keys..."-dialog were set manually, +cause the autoResize-function in the qt-libs didn't work correctly in all +versions.</li> + +<li> +The menuitems are more sensitive to the actual availiable functions (disabled/enabled +and checked).</li> + +<li> +Now, also in the "MIDWAY (large)"-scheme the smoother font-smooth.xbm font +is used by default.</li> + +<li> +The files for the internationalization moved to represent the new standard +locations.</li> +</ul> + +<h4> +Version 0.2.3a (January 15th, 1999)</h4> + +<ul> +<li> +Keyboard-routines changed to be compatible with the KDE 1.1 libraries (compiles +with 1.0 and 1.1).</li> + +<li> +A small bug fixed in kpacman.cpp (CHECK_PTR( menuBar )).</li> +</ul> + +<h4> +Version 0.2.3 (September 12th, 1998)</h4> + +<ul> +<li> +Slowed down the movement of the monsters in the prison, and fixed a bug +that kept the monsters moving slowly after the "harmless"-phase of the +monsters.</li> + +<li> +Added a new font "font-smooth" and smoothed the pixmap "wall.xpm" for the +Zacman-scheme.</li> + +<li> +Enhanced configuration of all timing-parameters using the <a href="kpacman-3.html#s3">configuration +file</a>.</li> + +<li> +Changed Help-function (kapp->getHelpMenu) to reflect the KDE-Standard.</li> + +<li> +Improved the documentation (Many thanks to Andreas Pour).</li> +</ul> + +<h4> +Version 0.2.2 (August 24th, 1998)</h4> + +<ul> +<li> +Localized the sources and added a German translation of the documentation.</li> + +<li> +Fixed bug so pixmaps and bitfonts could located correctly after using the +"Change keys..."-dialog.</li> + +<li> +Changed the location of the files (sources, pixmaps, docs etc.) to reflect +the recommeded structure of kapptemplate v0.1.</li> +</ul> + +<h4> +Version 0.2.1 (August 18th, 1998)</h4> + +<ul> +<li> +Improved the timing (it's not perfect yet), and I hope Andreas Pour will +have more fun testing the next version.</li> + +<li> +Increased flexibility in handling the pixmaps.</li> +</ul> + +<h4> +Version 0.2.0 (August 13th, 1998)</h4> + +<ul> +<li> +Added (preliminary) graphic scheme support.</li> +</ul> + +<h4> +Version 0.1.1 (August 8th, 1998) </h4> + +<ul> +<li> +First public release.</li> +</ul> + +<div align=right><a href="kpacman-2.html">Next</a> <a href="index.html">Previous</a> +<a href="index.html#toc1">Table of Contents</a></div> + +<center> +<hr WIDTH="100%" SIZE=3 ALIGN=CENTER NOSHADE></center> +</td> +</tr> + +<tr> +<td></td> +</tr> +</table> + +</body> +</html> |
