gtetrinet 0.4.2

Application
===========

gtetrinet 0.4.2

Description
===========

GTetrinet is a Tetrinet client using Gtk+ and GNOME-libs.
Tetrinet is a variant of the popular Tetris brick game, that can be played
simultaneously by 6 players. GTetrinet's goal is to remain completely
compatible with the Windows, original client. Tetrinet clients need to
connect to a dedicated server in order to be useful. GTetrient only provides
the client part, but there are plenty of available servers around.
Look at http://www.tetrinet.org/ for a list of servers.

Notes
=====

This is the first release of GTetrinet in over two years, and hopefully
will be the last one for GNOME 1.4. The port to GNOME 2 will start
immediately in CVS.

Enhancements
============

- Pages can now be detached (configure with --enable-detach).
- TetriFast support.
- Game messages are not longer cleared when games end.
- Fix potential segfaults in ARM, PowerPC and S/390.
- Internationalization support, please submit translations!
- Catalan translation.
- Manpage added.
- GTetrinet now installs in $(prefix)/games, not $(prefix)/bin.
- Focus fixes in partyline.
- Blockbomb behaviour fix.
- Fix sound support.
