under share/examples/rc.d. The variable name already was named
RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR.
This is from ideas from Greg Woods and others.
Also bumped PKGREVISION for all packages using RCD_SCRIPTS mechanism
(as requested by wiz).
Ultima 7, an RPG from the early 1990's, still has a huge following.
But, being a DOS game with a very nonstandard memory manager, it
is difficult to run it on the latest computers. Exult is a project
to create an Ultima 7 game engine that runs on modern operating
systems, capable of using the data and graphics files that come
with the game.
Exult is written in C++ and runs on, at least, Linux, Mac OS X and
Windows using the SDL library to make porting to other platforms
relatively easy. The current version supports all of "Ultima 7:
The Black Gate" and "Ultima 7 part 2: The Serpent Isle", allowing
you to finish both games. This is only possible due to the work
done by other fans who have decoded the various Ultima 7 data files,
especially Gary Thompson, Maxim Shatskih, Jakob Shonberg, and Wouter
Dijkslag.
Exult aims to let those people who own Ultima 7 (copyright 1993)
play the game on modern hardware, in as close to (or perhaps even
surpassing) its original splendor as is possible. You need to own
"Ultima 7: The Black Gate" and/or "Ultima 7: Serpent Isle" and
optionally the add-ons (not required to run) in order to use Exult,
and we encourage you to buy a legal copy.

Bugs Fixed
----------
- Announcements in games now get a "\n" at the end.
Features Added
--------------
- Rank added to saved KGS Plus lecture list.
Changes:
* atlantik: fix problems with accepting invitations
* atlantik: put player views in a scrollview
* atlantik: show correct amount of players in trade widget
2004 Oct 21: version 1.2.1
* Introduced a basic stepping-control UI, and added stepping information to
the solution file format.
* Fixed a bug (MS logic) reported by David Stolp, involving blocks going
out and back into the slip list so quickly that they weren't sent to the
end of the list.
* Fixed a bug (MS logic) reported by David Stolp where block and creatures
were not moving into key tiles if the bottom tile prevented it (e.g. a
wall).
* Fixed a bug in sdltext.c, reported by Dale Bryan caused a segfault in
16-bit color mode.
* Added -r (read-only) cmdline option.
2004 Oct 04: version 1.2.0
* Fixed a bug (MS logic) preventing cloned tanks from turning around when
they hadn't yet left the clone machine.
* Fixed another longstanding bug (MS logic) involving a tank indirectly
pushing a blue button. Again, the bug was fixed explicitly instead of
trying to make the behavior arise naturally from the code.
* Improved some of the behavior of blocks being pushed (Lynx logic).
* Improved some of the behavior of blocked teleports (Lynx logic).
* Altered animations to run for either 11 or 12 frames, depending on the
parity of their initial frame, as discovered by ccexplore. (This finally
killed the nine-lived clone-boosting bug in ICEHOUSE!) Also modified the
point during the frame when animations get removed.
* Changed the Lynx walker to use a PRNG equivalent to the original, as
worked out by ccexplore.
* Fixed bug (MS logic) in how a block is removed from the slip list when
being pushed by Chip (reported by Shmuel Siegel).
* Fixed bug (MS logic) with deferred button presses; TW was incorrectly
deferring Chip's button presses and not just those caused by block
pushing.
* Fixed a horrid bug when encountering bogus values in a dat file. (The
code was meant to gracefully ignore the broken level and continue reading
the next level, but it failed to move the file position out of the broken
level before doing so.)
* Fixed keyboard routines so that they now understand characters as well as
keystrokes (thus e.g. the program recognizes "?" when entered on a
European keyboard).
* Added a help screen for the initial file menu.
* A few other minor bug fixes and miscellaneous improvements.
Aisleriot:
- Fix the end of game check for Odessa.
Ataxx:
- Fix a crasher on 64-bit machines.
Five or More:
- Handle missing themes better.
Gnometris:
- Fix drag and drop from konqueror.
- Use the ESD compielr flags properly.
libgames-support:
- Display ace-high card decks properly.
- Fix conflicting extern and static declarations.

and we need your help to get them hunted down. May the force be
with you when you are playtesting.
Highlights for the release: Scenario balancing for 'Heir to the
Throne' and 'The Eastern Invasion' campaigns. User interface
improvements: shadows for labels to make them visible on each type
of terrain and in-game help system improvements. Graphics improvements:

to holy and less vulnerable to "physical" attacks. 18 new units
added. Slovenian as new translation, 17 updated translations.

map generator improvements and variations (Desert, Winter, Marsh),
map descriptions, Broken Bridge map. Various improvements for

abilities use true doubling and halving rather than additive
percentage calculations. Ghosts have been changed to use new 'spirit'
movetype which has high resistance values against all "physical"
attacks and their movement is now slowed by water. Undeadfoot units
have been granted 'deep walking' - that is marching through deep
water.
And then some less detailed changes: new scenarios for 'Heir to
the Throne' and 'The Rise of Wesnoth' campaigns, scenario balancing

Changes from version 2.6.5 to 2.6.6 (Released 2004-10-27)
Bugs Fixed
----------
S - Fixed a server bug that would sometimes make it crash on shutdown

process. Ranks are now much too stable. Sorry, will be fixed when possible.
