- Major network code improvements/bugfixes:
* closed file descriptor leakage in server code
* multiple network games per running session possible
* new function called gprint used in network code (better readable)
* check return value of ioctl (non-blocking mode OK?)
* you can abort while waiting for connections now
* a player name can be specified
* thin client support, i.e. retrieving word lists from a server
* new option --netlog=file logs network traffic; for debugging
* new network parameters for better comprehension by developer(s) :)
* high score sharing is locale-safe now (1.234 vs. 1,234)
* versions are compared in order to prevent version missmatches
v0.6.2 - Used random seed will be actualy saved now.
- You can feed typespeed with specified random seed.
- Fixed bug introduced with 0.6.1: enter/space is no longer
counted as typo if you have entered a correct word.
- Do not let other persons flock high score file: this could
result in a denial of service.
- Smoothness takes "yes" and "no" as argument.
- "No High Scores" will be translated, too.
- File selection menu is useable with vi-like key strokes (j, k).
- Removed implementation-defined C-code like:
x[i++] = i;
- Better testsuite framework support included.
- Compilation of test suite on systems without gettext in libc
has been fixed.
- Translate title of default rule set if selected.
- Fixed buffer underrun in parseline that occured if a line in
configuration file (or game rule file) started with "=".
- autotools improvements, spotted by Michael Sterrett:
* handle --docdir properly
* support for different high score dir (--with-highscoredir=DIR)
- If working with strings, _always_ terminate with '\0' at end
of buffer, no matter how obvious it is that string fits anyway.
v0.6.1 - Added copy&paste cheat protection.
- Added support for gettext.
- SECURITY FIX: make sure privileges have been dropped.
- Switched to autoconf and automake.

- Game rules can be changed by user.
- setgid() by default - drops privileges as soon as highscore
file has been opened.
- major change in highscores:
* switch to csv format
* only one highscore file for all wordlists
* cannot reset highscores anymore
* users can have their own highscore file
- Use all available space on screen for words (position 0 not 1).
- New testsuite design
- wordlists are sorted alphabetically.
- scandir replaced with opendir; readdir; closedir.
No more annoying gcc warnings about that on different systems

of the game.
points to compare with your friends.
Typespeed's idea is ripped from ztspeed (a dos game made by Zorlim). Idea
of the game should be clear to anyone, just type and type it fast, or be a
lewser.
