Stable: Simutrans 102.2.1 (r2928)

Users with MS Windows can use the online installer, which makes even portable installations and puts addons where they belong.

No new features, but lots of missing bugs. AI are working again. For large maps, some significant optimisations are in. Use the GDI version for large maps under MS Windows, which is compiled without additional DEBUG support and with all optimisations. (It is about 2-5 times faster than the MinGW versions.)

Binaries
:windows: Windows native (new) (needs unicows.dll for Win9x) without debug for very large games or UTF8 support
:windows: Window with SDL (new)
:linux: Linux with SDL und SDL_mixer (new)
:beos: BeOS with Allegro (new)
:mac: MAC (intel) (new) needs SDL
:mac: MAC (PPC) (new) needs SDL

Using the online installer:

Under Windows Vista, if I install to a directory other than c:\Program Files, it hangs during the installation (It downloads the first part, extracts, and hangs when it goes to copy the files), this is true whether run as Admin or not.

So far, installation is working when put in default dir installer wants to..

CORRECTION: Installer hung at some point - I had two "Copying files 0%" windows up.
