[Thanks to the Retro team, A Future Pilot and many more]* "Bright Players" Multiplayer option will now only affect players instead of all polygon models.* Descent 2 Proximity Bomb spin variance now applies in Descent 1.* New Multiplayer GAME INFO screen that can be toggled ingame, too.* Fixed some Multiplayer scoring oddities.* ... and many, many more bugfixes and improvements.Known issues------------* On Windows the mouse is not correctly released if using ALT+TAB to minimize the game. This is not a bug in the program but rather the SDL library. It can be worked around by pausing the game and using ALT+ENTER to get the game to windowed mode. The mosue should not be stuck then anymore.* Mac builds may suffer from crashes (or other random glitches) when playing MIDI music. This is not a bug in the program but rather an issue in timidity which SDL_mixer uses to play these files. Usingf a Soundtrack AddOn (which contains OGG files) should fix that problem.
