Update of /cvsroot/netrek/client/netrekxp/resources/docs In directory sc8-pr-cvs7.sourceforge.net:/tmp/cvs-serv3525/resources/docs Modified Files: changes.txt Log Message: Support for F_check_planets feature packet, which includes new struct planet_cpacket which cross-checks with server to make sure all planet info is correct. Updated 10 times/sec for planet being orbitted, and every 5 seconds for the other "touched" planets. Reduces need for small update to refresh planets, and minimizes the effect of lost planet packets on gameplay.
