Log Message:
Fixed bug with metaserver - if server entry in metacache indicated one status, and we
receive a new server packet with a different status, that packet is no long rejected
based on packet age, new packets are considered priority in case of such a 
difference.
Added 9  new star trek theme songs.
Added 3 new netrekrc options (newSoundEffects, newSoundMusic, and newSoundMusicBkgd)
that allow for sound effect and music playback to be toggled separately.
Random intro sounds (instead of just the typical Kirk intro) - now all 5 trek series are represented.
Random genocide sounds (4 end themes from the trek series).
Music now fades out over 5 seconds upon entering game, rather than ending abruptly.

 Netrek XP 2006, Version 1.2: (Released Jan-2007)
+- three new netrekrc options, which are newSoundEffects, newSoundMusic, and newSoundMusicBkgd.
+  The first toggles sound effects on/off, the second toggles music on/off, the third plays
+  a mix of star trek theme music continually in the background.  Thus, if you wish to play
+  with only music, you can.  If you want to play with only sound effects, you can.  Or both.
+  Or neither.  Defaults are on for sound effects and music, and off for background music.
+- the client can now play music files, 9 star trek themed music files from the various
+  star trek series have been added.  Random intro themes will play on client connect, and
+  random end credits themes will play on genocide.  Music is only available with the newSound
+  option on, as it uses SDL.  These new music files are in the .ogg format.
 - servers that don't respond to metaping are not saved in the UDPcache, as they are likely
   defunct
 - fixed some bugs relating to message windows, most noticeably, messages that are
