netrek-client-cow 3.2.5 was released, containing extensive refinements to the metaserver window, improved handling of server disconnection, better integration with ICCM window managers, and a new window is opened for play when in metaserver mode. Also adds a mercenary mode, where hitting space or enter during team selection will join the least represented team, or a random team if no players are present on the server. The same key also returns to the game after death, using the current team and ship type. This is a backport of a Pygame client feature. http://quozl.linux.org.au/netrek/ 8b8accc0b318127a4c3e91b2c373efa9 netrek-client-cow-3.2.5.tar.gz Summary of changes: - default fullscreen to off, it was causing problems for those with incomplete resolution support on their systems, - team selection window, provide space bar or enter key to re-enter previous team with previous ship type, or join the second largest team, or join a random team if the server is empty, handle server disconnection gracefully without hanging or terminating, remove team selection options when a request is in progress, quit more quickly, - metaserver window, add a help window, default list size, - metaserver window, add arrow keys to select, space or enter to join, 'o' to observe, - fix to allow windows to be closed by user actions via window manager, without crashing the program, - allow metaserver window to resize when number of servers listed changes. - allow user to override login name using .xtrekrc. - keep metaserver window visible and use new window for each play session.
