            + Hundred3.1 [H31]

    + Started scattered localization in French.
- GUI changes / improvements:
    + "Reports" menu added; report items were previously under "View" menu.

             messages (although no paradox existed).
    + Fixed: supply center for Portugal wasn't drawn on topological map
    + Fixed: Confusing error message about DefineState orders
    + Fixed: Creating a Dislodged unit on the first turn caused an exception

- Core changes:
    + Multiple Performance enhancements to core adjudication routines,
      for optimal speed in automated adjudicators. This results
      in a 15-30% performance increase from version 0.85, the 
      previously fastest version. This release will now become 
      the new baseline performance release.

- Miscellaneous:
    + File-format incompatibility with all prevous versions. Games are now
      saved as gzip compressed XML, instead of a proprietary binary format.
      All future versions will also save files as compressed XML, and
      cross-version compatibility should be considerably improved.

- New features:
    + Rudimentary order drawing!
    + Persistent Undo/Redo! All orders, edits, and resolves may be undone, 
      even across multiple saves.

      variants. Note that Loeb9 is not fully supported in this release.

    + Private XML namespace added to variant SVG files for more 
      sensible customization
    + API Documentation improvements and updates
    + Build.xml "Clean" and "Install" targets added (Mike Rosseel).

- Miscellaneous:
    + Test cases added for Ice variant (DATC secion 12)
    + Test cases added for Convoyable coasts (DATC section 13)
    + Test cases added for Chaos variant (DATC section 15)
    + Test cases added for 1898 variant (DATC section 16)
    + Saved games are not compatible with previous version (version 0.86).
    + Order drawing will continue to improve throughout subsequent versions,
      both in style and in speed.
    + Difficult passable borders, used in some variants (e.g., Loeb9) are
      not yet supported.
    + For those requiring rapid adjudication (no GUI), please note that 
      version 0.85 remains the baseline perfomance release. This version has an 
      approximately 7-8% performance deficit compared to version
      0.85. Performance optimizations will be addressed in future versions.

    + Fixed XML variant parser bug involving supply center ownership/
      home-power-ownership.
    + Adjudication during adjustment phase with no orders for any power

      respect to resolution status 
    + Fixed bug in Phase.java, leading to incorrect phase advancement
      in saved games.

      from previous turn, if available.

- Miscellaneous:
    + Saved games from 0.80 are not compatible. However, the file format
      should now be stable and quite future-proof from this version on, 
      barring any major changes to the save game format. Older files will 
      be automagically upgraded when read in by future versions.
    + Mouse Clicking: if experiencing trouble registering mouse clicks, make
      sure that the mouse is not moving (at all!) when clicking; all 
      moves-with-clicks are interpreted as a Drag and not a Click. An attempt
      to fix this will be made in a future version. Drag-and-drop of units 
      may also be supported in a more distant future version.

- New features:
    + Game/Player metadata editor (Edit | Game & Player Info...)
- Miscellaneous:
    + Started Judge History/Game information parsing; much code has
        been written & tested; estimate this feature is 75-80% complete. 
    + Adjudicator errors noticed; this is due to a code regression; 
        this will be remedied in the next release. The same error exists
        in the released 0.75 version as well. This should only affect 
        adjudication in unusual situations.
    + WARNING: Old save games are not compatible with this version.
        Save game format will freeze nearer to the 1.0 release.

First public release
