paulo@0: 0.46 (2008-11-08)
paulo@0:   * Tracks number of 4x4 squares that the player forms
paulo@0:     (TOD parity; requested by Ghett0).
paulo@0:   * Added T-Party randomizer (requested by Lardarse).
paulo@0:   * Default lock delay for Zero set to 40 frames, even if it is
paulo@0:     played first (0.45 regression, reported by rck).
paulo@0:   * "[TC]" removed from scenario names (requested by caffeine).
paulo@0:   * PC: Uses fourCCs for option values in lj.ini.
paulo@0:   * PC: Uses double buffer for entire background (bug 0021).
paulo@0:   * PC: Can disable sound effects by deleting or renaming sound.dat
paulo@0:     (requested by moxie101).
paulo@0:   * PC: More of the code is 2-player-clean.

paulo@0: 0.45 (2008-04-20)
paulo@0:   * New unified speed curve system: less code, more tables, for
paulo@0:     future loading from a file (bug 0040).
paulo@0:   * All speed curves except Rhythm and Rhythm Zero have been ported
paulo@0:     to the new system.  Notably, Master has been rewritten based on
paulo@0:     the tables from the wiki, and Exponential uses sections.  The
paulo@0:     lock delay speeds up as brutally after 600 pieces as always.
paulo@0:   * Added kludge in the basic makefile that allows building on *BSD
paulo@0:     and GNU/Linux: 'make linux' (patch by kesiev).
paulo@0:   * ljpath: Fixed a couple misspellings in the non-Windows code path
paulo@0:     (reported by kesiev).
paulo@0:   * ljpath: Supports libfat when running on Nintendo DS.
paulo@0:   * A few descriptions of options have been shortened to fit into
paulo@0:     the new GBA/DS look (reported by Bloodstar; patch by caffeine).
paulo@0:   * Writes result and options text to standard output as well as to
paulo@0:     lj-scores.txt. This allows you to do 'lj | postprocessor' even
paulo@0:     if you can't do 'tail -f lj-scores.txt' (requested by kesiev).
paulo@0:   * DS: Writes result and options to /data/lockjaw/lj-scores.txt.
paulo@0: 
paulo@0: _____________________________________________________________________
paulo@0: 0.44 (2008-02-20)
paulo@0:   * Computes the preview and hold offset of all pieces (was
paulo@0:     wkNextMove in <= 0.43) from the entry position of the I
paulo@0:     tetromino (was wkSpawnMove in <= 0.43).
paulo@0:   * Kick tables have been inverted to a single struct per rotation
paulo@0:     system, for future loading from a file (bug 0016).
paulo@0:   * SKIP_IF system for handling J/L/T exceptions in Arika is replaced
paulo@0:     with IF_NOT_CENTER: wall kicks are allowed if the free-space
paulo@0:     orientation overlaps any blocks other than in the center column.
paulo@0:   * Options DAS doesn't repeat too fast, even on those systems where
paulo@0:     vsync() is a no-op (0.43 regression, reported by caffeine).
paulo@0:     This has the same cause as 0022: Windows Vista ignores vsync().
paulo@0:   * Options DAS doesn't continue across page boundaries.
paulo@0:   * GBA/DS: Options has new look.
paulo@0:   * DS: Reads the touch screen and the X and Y buttons.  Right now,
paulo@0:     touch isn't mapped to anything, but X and Y are Far Right and
paulo@0:     Far Left.
paulo@0: 
paulo@0: _____________________________________________________________________
paulo@0: 0.43a (2008-02-11)
paulo@0:   * Arika modified to use SKIP_IF3 after (not before) the basic
paulo@0:     position.  This restores ability to rotate J, L, and T with
paulo@0:     kicks turned off, such as in IRS (reported by Lion).
paulo@0:   * PC: Uses shfolder.dll so that installability works even on
paulo@0:     Windows 98 (0.43 regression, reported by Rich Nagel).
paulo@0:   * PC: Key bindings to J, M, and Z are correctly saved (0.43
paulo@0:     regression, reported by DIGITAL).
paulo@0:   * PC: In Game Keys, the names of Up and Down key bindings are
paulo@0:     clearer (requested by 4matsy).
paulo@0:

paulo@0: 0.43 (2008-02-10)
paulo@0:   * Player can initial-rotate out of block out (bug 0090).
paulo@0:   * Initial rotation doesn't use wall kick (bug 0059).
paulo@0:   * Names for values in Drop scoring and Shadow fixed
paulo@0:     (0.42 regression, reported by Lardarse).
paulo@0:   * Number of line clears in DS debrief should be cut off at the
paulo@0:     right side less often (bug 0089; fix based on a patch by kesiev).
paulo@0:   * Fixed line clear gravity in cascade preset (reported by 4matsy).
paulo@0:   * Fixed Fibonacci scoring with more than 8 lines per piece
paulo@0:     (reported by 4matsy).
paulo@0:   * Debrief is more compact, allowing GBA to use debrief (bug 0031;
paulo@0:     fix based on a patch by kesiev).
paulo@0:   * Debrief: Zigzag secret grade requires the hole in the top row to
paulo@0:     be covered (reported by Kitaru).
paulo@0:   * PC: If installed.txt is in the same folder as the program,
paulo@0:     ignores the current directory and stores all writable files
paulo@0:     to the user's application data folder (bug 0091).
paulo@0:   * PC: When loading skins, searches for files in the folder with
paulo@0:     the .skin file instead of the current directory (bug 0033).
paulo@0:   * PC: Replay sets up playback gimmick (0.42 regression,
paulo@0:     reported by DIGITAL).
paulo@0:   * PC: LJVorbis doesn't double-fclose the .ogg file
paulo@0:     (reported by kesiev).
paulo@0:   * PC: Mouse drops to bottom after skin or replay selection
paulo@0:     (requested by jujube).
paulo@0:   * PC: Options is separated into pages, like on GBA/DS (bug 0082).
paulo@0:     This frees up room for larger type (requested by jujube).
paulo@0: 
paulo@0: _____________________________________________________________________
paulo@0: 0.42 (2008-02-03) aka LOCKJAW XLII
paulo@0:   * Docs: Most of TODO.txt has been converted to a numbered list
paulo@0:     of bugs (bug 0100).
paulo@0:   * An off-by-1/65536 error in enter below ceiling was fixed.
paulo@0:     This means it doesn't give one extra row of room to slide on
paulo@0:     at the top of the well (reported by Caithness and Kukuunen).
paulo@0:   * In case of a block out, draws the offending piece in the well
paulo@0:     before entering game over animation.
paulo@0:   * Extra 5-frame cascade delay removed.
paulo@0:   * With Lockdown set to Step reset, lock delay resets on the
paulo@0:     first floor kick.
paulo@0:   * Tengen rotation system tries kicking one space to the left
paulo@0:     (requested by zaphod77).
paulo@0:   * Options' names and values are looked up from fourCCs for future
paulo@0:     localizability.
paulo@0:   * Options: Names of speeds in fractions of 1G are computed.
paulo@0:   * Options skips unpacking options with a value of 255.
paulo@0:     This allows multiple pref structures to be unpacked on top
paulo@0:     of each other, and each overrides the ones before it.
paulo@0:   * Debrief displays options on a second page.
paulo@0:   * Debrief correctly displays soft drop speed as a fraction (0.41
paulo@0:     regression, reported by Lardarse).
paulo@0:   * Debrief: PC specific parts moved to separate source code file.
paulo@0:   * Debrief uses a lower-level function to format ISO 8601 date
paulo@0:     and time so as not to bring in the floating-point library's
paulo@0:     space overhead on platforms without an FPU.
paulo@0:   * Debrief plays a sound when turning the page.
paulo@0:   * PC: Delay for holding Esc to quit no longer depends on
paulo@0:     display refresh rate.  Instead, it uses the global 60 Hz
paulo@0:     timer (reported by Sara).
paulo@0:   * PC: Draws speedometer even when preview is at right,
paulo@0:     as long as there is room, that is, 3 or fewer next pieces
paulo@0:     (requested by Cubicz).
paulo@0:   * PC: Gimmick choice moved to Options to match GBA/DS.
paulo@0:   * PC: Select scenario before starting game (bug 0041).
paulo@0:   * PC options uses standardized GBA names (OPTIONS_*) instead of
paulo@0:     PC names (LJPREFS_*).
paulo@0:   * PC options Shift sound scale, Side, and Next position moved to
paulo@0:     skin.
paulo@0:   * PC options sets initial options using initOptions() from GBA/DS.
paulo@0:     Incidentally, this restores the initial randomizer to bag
paulo@0:     (0.41 regression and may make similar regressions less likely.
paulo@0:   * PC options uses unpackOptions() from GBA/DS.
paulo@0:   * PC options sound is also routed through the cross-platform
paulo@0:     sound manager.
paulo@0:   * PC: lj.ini uses fourCCs as names for easier saving and loading.
paulo@0:   * PC: Switching between windowed and full screen in Options
paulo@0:     no longer needs the user to restart the program.
paulo@0:   * PC: LJVorbis doesn't crash if polled while the music is stopped.
paulo@0:     This can happen when cross-platform code plays sound effects
paulo@0:     during debrief.
paulo@0:   * PC: Skin controls window size, or full screen resolution
paulo@0:     (bug 0017).
paulo@0:   * PC/DS: Displays a description of some option values in addition
paulo@0:     to descriptions of options themselves.
paulo@0:   * GBA/DS: Options disabled on the PC are disabled here.
paulo@0:   * GBA: Menus are faster now that part of the text engine has been
paulo@0:     moved to fast RAM.
paulo@0:   * DS: Plays sound for game over (bug 0064).
paulo@0:   * DS: Options displayed on touch screen for future touch operation.
paulo@0:   * DS: Displays debrief after game ends (bug 0031).

paulo@0: 0.41 (2007-12-18)
paulo@0:   * Piece set and randomizer are decoupled (requested by Lardarse
paulo@0:     and Dood77).
paulo@0:   * New piece set: iCheat(tm) deals only I tetrominoes, like an
paulo@0:     infamous cheat code for some other game (requested by DIGITAL).
paulo@0:   * New garbage style "Preload zigzag", which preloads a zigzag
paulo@0:     pattern of holes.
paulo@0:   * At debrief time, if at least two rows of the zigzag pattern
paulo@0:     or at least four rows of a rectum (1-block-wide opening) are
paulo@0:     formed, shows a secret grade based on the number of pattern
paulo@0:     rows instead of the number of blocks left in the playfield.
paulo@0:   * Debrief options section sorted by position in options menu.
paulo@0:   * Debrief allows for multiple pages of reports.
paulo@0: 
paulo@0: _____________________________________________________________________
paulo@0: 0.40a (2007-11-30)
paulo@0:   * Does not attempt to create a ghost piece before the first
paulo@0:     falling piece.  This may fix a crash on some systems if the
paulo@0:     first game played during a session has deep drop turned on
paulo@0:     (reported by Rich Nagel on Windows 98 Second Edition).
paulo@0:   * Deep drop ghost piece code stops checking at the ceiling.
paulo@0: 
paulo@0: _____________________________________________________________________
paulo@0: 0.40 (2007-11-27)
paulo@0:   * Split out speed curves and randomizers to separate files called
paulo@0:     speed.c and random.c.
paulo@0:   * Adjusted master delays to be closer to TAP; 600-999 no longer
paulo@0:     overlap Death 000-399.
paulo@0:   * Displays short description of each option (requested by AXYPB).
paulo@0:   * Drill gimmick is back, with the new goal of clearing the bottom

paulo@0:   * PC: Does not redraw title screen if close box is clicked.
paulo@0:   * PC: If skin sets transparentPF=1, hotlines and line clear
paulo@0:     animations are drawn transparent (requested by Rich Nagel).
paulo@0:   * GBA/DS: Can quit game from pause screen (requested by AXYPB).
paulo@0:   * GBA/DS: Copyright notice and options screen drawn with
paulo@0:     proportional font for readability.

paulo@0:     uses, not the platform-specific sound manager.
paulo@0:   * GBA: Sound for end of game (requested by Lardarse).
paulo@0:   * DS: Closing the lid pauses the game and turns off the screens
paulo@0:     (requested by AXYPB).

paulo@0: 0.39 (2007-10-24)
paulo@0:   * Does not double line clear delay (unknown regression).
paulo@0:   * Source code includes new files options.h and old_pc_options.c
paulo@0:     which were mistakenly left out of 0.38 (reported by tr3).
paulo@0:   * Draws "hotline" symbol on lines being cleared (requested by
paulo@0:     Rosti LFC and kiwibonga).
paulo@0:   * Debrief no longer counts a zero line T-spin as a home run
paulo@0:     (0.28 regression; reported by Lardarse).
paulo@0:   * New randomizer 7+1-piece Bag adds one randomly selected
paulo@0:     tetromino to each bag (requested by colour_thief).
paulo@0:   * Refactored speed curve state information for pseudo-OO
paulo@0:     refactoring.
paulo@0:   * New option: Bottom blocks allows the falling piece to fall past

paulo@0:   * Added wall kick opcode SKIP_IF3, similar to SKIP_IF except it
paulo@0:     also checks the two cells above the specified cell.
paulo@0:   * L, J, and T in Arika use SKIP_IF3 to check the entire center
paulo@0:     column when rotating to vertical (requested by edo).
paulo@0:   * Moves new tetrominoes to be between the walls (fixing Tengen in
paulo@0:     width 4) and, if "Enter above playfield" is off, down far enough
paulo@0:     so that they're within the playfield (requested by Caithness).
paulo@0:   * New rotation system: Climbing, based on Tetris DX.  (No, you
paulo@0:     can't wall-climb yet because the sub-block behavior differs.)
paulo@0:   * Option "4x4 squares" is called "Gluing".  Other gluing options
paulo@0:     are planned.
paulo@0:   * In Square gluing, formation of a square adds a delay
paulo@0:     equal to line clear delay.
paulo@0:   * PC: Refactored to share some of the GBA/DS options logic.
paulo@0:   * PC: Moved most sound effect code into pcsound.c.
paulo@0:   * PC: Sound for 4x4 square formation (cribbed from TOD).
paulo@0:   * PC: Reloads the default skin's configuration before loading 
paulo@0:     the skin, so that skins always inherit from the default skin
paulo@0:     and not the last chosen skin (requested by Rich Nagel).
paulo@0:   * GBA: Uses duration as priority for square wave sound effects,
paulo@0:     which should prevent the section up sound from getting
paulo@0:     interrupted as often.
paulo@0:   * GBA/DS: Draws real-time speedometer.
paulo@0: 
paulo@0: _____________________________________________________________________
paulo@0: 0.37 (2007-07-09)
paulo@0:   * Requires "Up" and "Alt firm drop" to be pressed again when
paulo@0:     lock delay is turned off or less than DAS delay
paulo@0:     (requested by reivilo).
paulo@0:   * Keypress count is reset to 0 even in "Play .ljm" (reported by
paulo@0:     jujube).
paulo@0:   * Playing a broken .ljm from the gimmick menu gives an informative
paulo@0:     error message instead of crashing (0.32a regression; reported by
paulo@0:     Rosti LFC).
paulo@0:   * Rhythm section-up logic waits for 64 beats at L bpm, not L+1 bpm.
paulo@0:   * Fixed a potential buffer overflow in shuffleColumns (the "banana"
paulo@0:     item), brought on by the expansion of the playfield to 12 columns
paulo@0:     (0.33 regression).
paulo@0:   * Better comments in source code about wall kick entry macros
paulo@0:     WK(x, y), WKX(wk), WKY(wk) in lj.h (requested by Lardarse).

paulo@0:   * GBA/DS: Press Start after lose, rather than timing out to options
paulo@0:     (requested by Webby).
paulo@0:   * "Default" means not to pay back a loan.  Manual uses "initial"
paulo@0:     or "preset" instead (requested by Bruce Tognazzini).

paulo@0:     speed curves (requested by Rich Nagel).
paulo@0:   * Debrief displays Quadra-style pieces per active minute
paulo@0:     (requested by Cubicz).
paulo@0:   * Debrief calls pieces "pieces" instead of "tetrominoes" in
paulo@0:     10-piece randomizers because I2, I3, L3 are not tetrominoes.
paulo@0:   * PC: Gimmick and level are displayed in skin foreground color
paulo@0:     (missed in 0.30; reported by Rich Nagel).
paulo@0:   * PC: Skin file name suffix is now .skin not .ini, so that skin.ini

paulo@0:   * New speed curve Rhythm Zero is identical to Rhythm except it
paulo@0:     operates at 0G instead of 20G (requested by Cubicz and caffeine).
paulo@0:   * Speed curves that do not use level reset level to 0.
paulo@0:     Therefore, playing a game of Death then a game of Exponential
paulo@0:     on GBA/DS no longer shows the level that the player finished
paulo@0:     Death on as the level during Exponential.
paulo@0:   * Maximum well width increased to 12 (requested by Zed0).
paulo@0:   * Hold piece does not reset floor kicks, lock delay time in entry

paulo@0: 0.32 (2007-02-13)
paulo@0:   * Changed a CPU yield behavior that was affecting battery
paulo@0:     efficiency on the GBA and DS front ends (reported by Mighty Max).
paulo@0:   * Removed Low Rider gimmick in favor of option for well height
paulo@0:     (requested by Matthew).
paulo@0:   * Option for well width, like Shimizu's Tetris Semipro-68k.
paulo@0:     Combine this with a low well height to simulate BIG mode of
paulo@0:     TGM and Heboris (requested by Matthew).
paulo@0:   * Options for entry delay and sideways delay have "max" added to
paulo@0:     their description to clarify things (requested by kotetsu213 and
paulo@0:     Ezzelin).
paulo@0:   * All speed options given in Hz or G are given in both.
paulo@0:   * PC: Next above shadow works in all playfield positions (reported
paulo@0:     by caffeine).
paulo@0:   * GBA/DS: Added option for soft drop speed (requested by Ezzelin).
paulo@0:   * GBA/DS: Some shared code moved to file "ljgbads.inc".
paulo@0:   * GBA: Unavailable hold piece is grayed out.
paulo@0:   * GBA/DS: Lock delay = no lock works (reported by Ezzelin).
paulo@0:   * GBA/DS: Fixed frames/ms display of delays (reported by Ezzelin).
paulo@0: 
paulo@0: _____________________________________________________________________
paulo@0: 0.31 (2007-02-03)
paulo@0:   * Draws the score and next pieces before blitting the playfield
paulo@0:     in case a front-end draws the score or next pieces inside the
paulo@0:     playfield.
paulo@0:   * In Baboo!, speed curve Zero sets the level to the number of
paulo@0:     keypresses so far.
paulo@0:   * PC, GBA: Plays sound effect for end of section in speed curves
paulo@0:     that use sections (Master, Death, NES, Game Boy).
paulo@0:   * PC: Option to draw next pieces inside the playfield, above the
paulo@0:     shadow (requested by caffeine, cdsboy, and Cubicz).
paulo@0:   * GBA, DS: Blocks within a piece are drawn connected once they lock
paulo@0:     (TOD parity, requested by Lardarse and Bloodstar).
paulo@0:   * GBA, DS: Baboo! no longer double-counts console buttons passed
paulo@0:     through the joypad reading code.
paulo@0:   * README: "color=image" clone-and-hack error fixed (reported by
paulo@0:     Bloodstar).
paulo@0:   * README: Explains black rectangle in upper left corner as an
paulo@0:     icon for stop (requested by herc).
paulo@0:   * README: Explains controls on GBA and DS.
paulo@0: 
paulo@0: _____________________________________________________________________
paulo@0: 0.30 (2007-02-01)
paulo@0:   * Fixed ARE display in debrief, which could cause a crash in some
paulo@0:     situations (0.26 regression?).
paulo@0:   * Garbage no longer self-clears in Cascade gravity (reported by
paulo@0:     Bloodstar).
paulo@0:   * In high gravity, land a T with one block over an overhang and
paulo@0:     rotate it once so that it falls and clears a line.  This is no
paulo@0:     longer counted as a T-spin.
paulo@0:   * During a replay, counts keypresses by the replay player.
paulo@0:   * PC: Scales undersized background images to the size of the window
paulo@0:     (requested by Bloodstar).
paulo@0:   * PC: If a piece enters during a skipped frame, a second upward
paulo@0:     trail is no longer drawn (reported by Bloodstar and caffeine).
paulo@0:   * PC: "Next at top" layout draws speedometer (requested by
paulo@0:     matt_hatter83).
paulo@0:   * PC: Trails option is saved properly (reported by caffeine).
paulo@0:   * PC: User can customize the game's text and background colors
paulo@0:     using skin.ini (requested by Bloodstar).
paulo@0:   * Added rudimentary port to Nintendo DS for people with MAX Media
paulo@0:     Dock, M3 Pro, SuperCard Rumble, or SLOT-1 cards, which can run
paulo@0:     DS homebrew but not GBA homebrew.
paulo@0:   * Moscow Nights removed from lj-contrib due to research into the
paulo@0:     copyright term extensions enacted by Russian Federation during
paulo@0:     the 1990s.
paulo@0: 
paulo@0: _____________________________________________________________________
paulo@0: 0.29 (2007-01-17)
paulo@0:   * TDS scoring recognizes chains properly (reported by Lardarse).
paulo@0:   * TDS scoring section factor stops increasing after 190 lines.
paulo@0:   * Added NES scoring method.
paulo@0:   * Added scoring for soft and hard drops to options and debrief.
paulo@0:   * Cascade no longer deletes the bottom row when lines high on the
paulo@0:     playfield are cleared (reported by Lardarse).
paulo@0:   * PC: Draws trails when a tetromino goes up or down rapidly.
paulo@0:     (Option to turn them off.)
paulo@0:   * PC: Handles dirty rectangles for next pieces and score
paulo@0:     separately.
paulo@0:   * Scoring section of README describes all scoring methods.
paulo@0: 
paulo@0: _____________________________________________________________________
paulo@0: 0.28 (2007-01-04)
paulo@0:   * Added Cascade gravity, as seen in Quadra, Tetris Worlds Cascade,
paulo@0:     and Tetris DS Touch.
paulo@0:   * Master/Death: Level starts at -1, so that the first piece is
paulo@0:     played at level 0 (requested by Lardarse).
paulo@0:   * Changed T-spin detection to save whether or not a rotation
paulo@0:     involved a kick (0: move; 1: rotate; 2: rotate with kick) so
paulo@0:     that scoring methods such as TDS can score T-spins with and
paulo@0:     without kicks differently.
paulo@0:   * Added TDS scoring method (line clears only).
paulo@0:   * New, more general, possibly easier to understand reshuffle code
paulo@0:     in bag randomizer (requested by Lardarse)
paulo@0:   * GBA: Gold and silver square colors added (requested by Lardarse).
paulo@0:   * PC: Game over in low ceiling no longer fades the area outside the
paulo@0:     playfield (reported by Lardarse).
paulo@0:   * PC: Close box interrupts starting and game over animations.
paulo@0:   * README warns that 4x4 squares mode needs ljconn.
paulo@0: 
paulo@0: _____________________________________________________________________
paulo@0: 0.27 (2006-12-20)
paulo@0:   * GBA version includes a valid header (requested by Ezzelin).
paulo@0:   * Fixed incorrect spawn orientations for Game Boy rotation system
paulo@0:     (0.25? regression, reported by Lardarse).
paulo@0:   * Fixed incorrect win/loss sound early in 180 seconds (0.25
paulo@0:     regression).
paulo@0:   * New randomizer 10-piece Bag, including the domino and both
paulo@0:     trominoes.
paulo@0:   * GBA version now reports entry and lock delays in both frames
paulo@0:     and milliseconds.
paulo@0:   * Possibly fixed off-by-one in Game Boy speed curve section
paulo@0:     computation, which caused an incorrect slowdown in 210-219
paulo@0:     section (reported by Ezzelin).
paulo@0: 
paulo@0: _____________________________________________________________________
paulo@0: 0.26 (2006-12-15)
paulo@0:   * Option to allow game to proceed in the background (requested by
paulo@0:     Ezzelin).  However, Windows doesn't appear to pass joystick
paulo@0:     presses to the game running in the background.  FCE Ultra has
paulo@0:     what appears to be exactly the same problem.
paulo@0:   * Added Game Boy and NES speed curves.
paulo@0:   * Options and Game Keys are accessed through title screen, not
paulo@0:     gimmick selection.
paulo@0:   * Option to hide playfield without changing the skin.
paulo@0:   * Rearranged rules section of options to correspond more closely to
paulo@0:     the sequence of operations for each tetromino.
paulo@0:   * Soft or hard drop set to "lock on release" no longer produces
paulo@0:     double locks at 20G.
paulo@0:   * Disable initial hard drop when set to "lock" and entry delay is
paulo@0:     greater than 0 but less than DAS delay.
paulo@0:   * Checks for 4x4 squares top to bottom per comparison with The New
paulo@0:     Tetris (N64).
paulo@0:   * Finer grained selections in entry delay (requested by
paulo@0:     matt_hatter83) and lock delay (requested by caffeine).
paulo@0:     They now are at 50ms increments at the low end.
paulo@0:   * Expanded TGM speed curve to 12 sections.  One comparatively slow
paulo@0:     section at 20G was added to Master before Death-equivalent starts
paulo@0:     (now Death 0 is equivalent to Master 600, not 500), and one
paulo@0:     faster section was added to the end of Death based on info posted
paulo@0:     to wiki by colour_thief.
paulo@0:   * Added H.R. Derby gimmick:
paulo@0:     Like Marathon, but every line you clear other than with a
paulo@0:     home run or a T-spin gives you garbage.
paulo@0:   * Ready Go animation is 1.2 seconds, not 2.0 seconds.
paulo@0:   * Preliminary support for Game Boy Advance, with experimental
paulo@0:     paged options replacing scrolling options.
paulo@0: 
paulo@0: _____________________________________________________________________
paulo@0: 0.25 (2006-11-28)
paulo@0:   * Fixed History 6 Rolls deciding between the first piece algorithm
paulo@0:     and the subsequent pieces algorithm (reported by Lardarse).
paulo@0:   * Fixed a signedness issue that broke 180 seconds gimmick in the
paulo@0:     case that a tetromino was kept active between 3:00 and 3:01 (0.24
paulo@0:     regression; reported by caffeine).
paulo@0:   * Allows ending the game with a piece in mid-air (0.24 regression).
paulo@0:   * Removed Arika and renamed Arika+TI to Arika.  For the old
paulo@0:     Arika behavior, set Options:Floor kicks to 0.
paulo@0:   * Options screen allows DAS, allowing future versions to make more
paulo@0:     options and more values for each option available in a less
paulo@0:     cumbersome way.
paulo@0: 
paulo@0: _____________________________________________________________________
paulo@0: 0.24 (2006-11-16)
paulo@0:   * Added Score style to options and debrief.
paulo@0:   * Choice of LJ or TNT64 scoring is based on chosen score style, not
paulo@0:     whether 4x4 squares are turned on.
paulo@0:   * Added Hotline scoring method, where only lines cleared on
paulo@0:     specific rows count toward scoring.  When enabled, draws white
paulo@0:     lines through empty spaces in these rows.
paulo@0:   * New soft drop and hard drop lock setting: Lock on release.  It's
paulo@0:     a spring-loaded system:  When you press the button, it doesn't
paulo@0:     lock, but when you let go, it locks (requested by colour_thief).
paulo@0:   * Option to override lock delay time (requested by caffeine).
paulo@0:   * Option to limit upward kicks (requested by Needle). This may
paulo@0:     obviate the difference between Arika and Arika+TI.
paulo@0:   * Sped up line clear in Master 300-499 to make less of a jarring
paulo@0:     transition to "death" style timings.
paulo@0:   * LJM loading fails even more gracefully on wrong format version,
paulo@0:     properly treating an LJM of the wrong version as not existing.
paulo@0:   * Fixed bug in 0.23's application switch pausing where switching
paulo@0:     away while already paused would require two Esc presses to
paulo@0:     continue (reported by caffeine).
paulo@0:   * Does not stop play until after the line clear animation finishes.
paulo@0:     This allows the game to properly update the single, double,
paulo@0:     triple, etc. counts for the last line that completes the goal
paulo@0:     (0.19 scoring regression?; reported by caffeine).
paulo@0:   * Refactored duplicated option loading code.
paulo@0:   * Options: Ditched parallel struct and array in favor of a
paulo@0:     single list of named indices.
paulo@0:   * Corrected Moscow Nights and Kalinka in lj-contrib for greater
paulo@0:     compatibility with obscure s3m players that can't handle odd
paulo@0:     numbers of channels (requested by Lardarse).
paulo@0: 
paulo@0: _____________________________________________________________________
paulo@0: 0.23 (2006-11-04)
paulo@0:   * Fixed S and Z in Sega 1988.
paulo@0:   * DUMB has been wrapped in a library called LJMusic and can be
paulo@0:     turned off at compile time (edit ljmusic.c and makefile) if you
paulo@0:     don't want to install DUMB.
paulo@0:   * Added support for Xiph.org's OggVorbis codec to LJMusic
paulo@0:     (requested by Needle).
paulo@0:   * Option to ignore sideways movement on first frame (like TGM
paulo@0:     series) (requested by Needle, seconded by caffeine).
paulo@0:   * Properly pauses the game when the player switches away from the
paulo@0:     window (requested by Lardarse).
paulo@0:   * Fails gracefully (does nothing) instead of crashing when loading
paulo@0:     replay files of a different format version.
paulo@0:   * Moved as much as possible below setting display mode so that
paulo@0:     people porting LJ to other platforms can toss up working alert()
paulo@0:     boxes earlier (requested by cdsboy).
paulo@0: 
paulo@0: _____________________________________________________________________
paulo@0: 0.22 (2006-10-23)
paulo@0:   * Fixed color system change after reloading (0.20 regression?,
paulo@0:     reported by lardarse).  Should always unpack options just before
paulo@0:     loading skin.
paulo@0:   * All numbers in saved states are stored big-endian, making movies
paulo@0:     compatible between 0.22 for Windows and Intel Mac and 0.22 for
paulo@0:     PowerPC Mac (requested by cdsboy).
paulo@0:   * Sega rotation systems renamed to Arika for less confusion with
paulo@0:     the rotation systems in Sega's Tetris games from 1988 and 1998
paulo@0:     (requested by Needle).
paulo@0:   * Added Sega 1988 rotation system (like Arika without wall kicks).
paulo@0:   * Preliminary Vorbis playback code is included in the source code
paulo@0:     distribution but has not been activated in the program.
paulo@0:     (The keys to compiling OggVorbis on MinGW+MSYS are 1. set the
paulo@0:     prefix to match the MINGDIR you used to build Allegro, and
paulo@0:     2. disable creation of the shared library.)
paulo@0: 
paulo@0: _____________________________________________________________________
paulo@0: 0.21 (2006-10-21)
paulo@0:   * Added new T-spin detection rule "3-corner T no kick", identical
paulo@0:     to 3-corner T except that a wallkick is not counted as a rotation
paulo@0:     (requested by kotetsu213).
paulo@0:   * Options that don't apply because of how another option is set
paulo@0:     are grayed out with an explanation (requested by Needle).
paulo@0:   * Debrief tells number of blocks left in the playfield and whether
paulo@0:     saved state was used (requested by caffeine).
paulo@0:   * Debrief tells what level the player stopped on.
paulo@0:   * Added support for saving input stream ("demo" or "movie") to file
paulo@0:     "demo.ljm".  Press [ to start/stop recording and ] to start/stop
paulo@0:     playback (requested by caffeine).
paulo@0:   * Pieces are actually random again (0.20 regression).
paulo@0:   * New lockdown mode: Entry reset.  Instead of resetting, the lock
paulo@0:     timer pauses while the piece is falling (requested by caffeine).
paulo@0:   * No +20 for banking more than 5 beats (requested by caffeine).
paulo@0:   * 250 ms entry delay option (requested by matt_hatter83).
paulo@0:   * Entry and sideways delays in Master and Death use the shorter of
paulo@0:     the speed curve's delay and the user's delay.
paulo@0:   * Added soft drop speed to options.
paulo@0:   * Added settings 8.6 Hz through 6.7 Hz to Sideways speed.
paulo@0: 
paulo@0: _____________________________________________________________________
paulo@0: 0.20 (2006-10-15)
paulo@0:   * Fixed color system change after options (0.19 regression).
paulo@0:   * Restored ability to hold first piece (0.17 regression?).
paulo@0:   * Requires down to be re-pressed only when entry delay is less
paulo@0:     than sideways delay.
paulo@0:   * In modes with ARE, allow initial hard drop even on first piece
paulo@0:     (requested by caffeine).
paulo@0:   * Visual refresh in Game Keys.
paulo@0:   * Game Keys ignores keypresses for 1/4 second after each key is
paulo@0:     set, which should fix problems with GameCube to USB adapters
paulo@0:     (requested by Caithness).
paulo@0:   * All platforms use a single randomizer, whose state is associated
paulo@0:     with the playfield.
paulo@0:   * ARE is a binary option again, as several speed curves ignored the
paulo@0:     old version's difference between constant and decreasing.
paulo@0:   * Moved version display to title screen.
paulo@0:   * Sound effect for win differs from that for game over.
paulo@0:   * Sound effect for rotating a piece on its first active frame.
paulo@0:   * Begun to add assertions, causing game over if they fail.
paulo@0:   * Added support for saving the state of the playfield.
paulo@0:     Press [ to save or ] to load.  Movies might be next.
paulo@0: 
paulo@0: _____________________________________________________________________
paulo@0: 0.19 (2006-09-28):
paulo@0:   * Use of SRS or Sega colors is determined by a flag set for each
paulo@0:     rotation system.  The rule is that rotation systems that use
paulo@0:     bounding box rotation should use SRS colors.
paulo@0:   * Added TOD M4 rotation system (face up entry + bounding box
paulo@0:     rotation + roughly TGM style compensation).
paulo@0:   * List items in Options flicker much less.
paulo@0:   * Beginning of an actual title screen.
paulo@0:   * Removed Rhythm gimmick in favor of speed curve option.
paulo@0:   * Added Master and Death speed curves (requested by Needle).
paulo@0:     Death hasn't been tested thoroughly because the developer
paulo@0:     sucks at death.
paulo@0:   * Blits only those playfield rows that have changed, making
paulo@0:     animation smoother on old, cheap, or mobile video cards
paulo@0:     (requested by cosmonaut).
paulo@0:   * Rhythm speed curve no longer has what feels like a big elbow
paulo@0:     (requested by caffeine).  Specifically it gives 20 points
paulo@0:     instead of banking more than 5 pieces' worth of time.
paulo@0:   * Doesn't draw the state after the tetromino spawns but before
paulo@0:     initial rotation has taken effect (requested by Needle).
paulo@0:   * Added sound effect for hold piece (requested by Needle).
paulo@0:   * Land and lock sound much better (requested by Needle).
paulo@0:   * Shuffle columns (seen only in Vs. w/ Items) correctly disconnects
paulo@0:     blocks horizontally.
paulo@0:   * In Square mode, T-spins cause avalanches.
paulo@0:   * In Square mode, lines containing a piece of a 4x4 block are worth
paulo@0:     more, and homers are worth less.
paulo@0:   * Fixed ignoring diagonal presses (0.17 regression).
paulo@0:   * Created a new struct "LJPrefs" to hold preferences set by the
paulo@0:     player in the Options menu separately from the parameters
paulo@0:     that the game actually uses. This allows gimmicks to override
paulo@0:     preferences more cleanly.
paulo@0:   * Added support for future scoring methods where the score per line
paulo@0:     at a given point in the chain is based on a formula.
paulo@0:   * Created a union that combines the new struct with the array that
paulo@0:     the Options menu edits to improve maintainability of Options.
paulo@0: 
paulo@0: _____________________________________________________________________
paulo@0: 0.18 (2006-09-16):
paulo@0:   * Fixed Classic lock reset (unknown regression).
paulo@0:   * Fixed misbehavior when hold is pressed after a piece
paulo@0:     lands but before it locks (0.17 regression).
paulo@0:   * Shadow is drawn using the piece's color, at 25% opacity,
paulo@0:     from rows 4 and 5 of ljblocks.
paulo@0:   * Fixed shadow option saving (0.17a regression).
paulo@0:   * Added option to hide shadow color or change shadow opacity.
paulo@0:   * Split Sega rotation system into one with and one without
paulo@0:     TGM3's upward kicks.
paulo@0:   * Added NES and Game Boy rotation systems.
paulo@0:   * README: Illustration of game play has an image map.  The reader
paulo@0:     can select (hover over) a region of the screenshot, and the
paulo@0:     browser will show the title of the region as a tooltip.
paulo@0:   * BPM is now called speed level in preparation for other
paulo@0:     speed curves (including TGM and TA Death).
paulo@0: 
paulo@0: _____________________________________________________________________
paulo@0: 0.17 (2006-09-13):
paulo@0:   * Option for sticky gravity per color, as seen in The Next Tetris.
paulo@0:   * "Ready, Go" is centered, even in low ceiling gimmicks.
paulo@0:   * Added TGM3's upward kick to Sega T rotations.
paulo@0:   * Added Tengen rotation system.
paulo@0:   * Removed TGM gimmick in favor of entry delay option.
paulo@0:   * Initial hold works at any time.  The key can be pressed and
paulo@0:     released during entry delay or even during line clear delay.
paulo@0:   * Initial actions do not inflate keypress count
paulo@0:     (helpful in Baboo! with entry delay).
paulo@0:   * Draws hold piece in garbage colors when it is not available.
paulo@0:   * Options scroll.
paulo@0:   * Option to draw next pieces to right in constant size or above.
paulo@0:   * Better looking scroll bar in options.
paulo@0:   * Debrief: In naive gravity, reports T-spin singles, doubles,
paulo@0:     and triples separately from non-T-spins.  In other line
paulo@0:     clear gravity modes, "home run" is now called "quad".
paulo@0:   * Fixed a buffer overflow bug in sticky: fillCLoop() no longer
paulo@0:     treats the right side of one row and the left side of the
paulo@0:     row above it as one region.
paulo@0:   * Clarified manual as to the purpose of the Vs. gimmicks.
paulo@0:   * Separated platform specific stuff into a separate struct.
paulo@0:   * Refactored scoring into a separate function for future movement
paulo@0:     to gimmick and option control.
paulo@0:   * Debrief formats the report into a string and then writes it
paulo@0:     to a file and the screen all at once.
paulo@0:   * Refactored play() to move everything in the game loop that is
paulo@0:     not platform specific out of ljpc.c into new file ljplay.c.
paulo@0:   * Wall kick table is no longer flipped, making it easier to add
paulo@0:     new rotation systems.
paulo@0:   * Unified counterclockwise and clockwise rotation code.
paulo@0: 
paulo@0: _____________________________________________________________________
paulo@0: 0.16 (2006-09-03):
paulo@0:   * Fixed instant sideways speed (0.15 regression).
paulo@0:   * In countdown modes, debrief screen displays whether clear was
paulo@0:     successful.
paulo@0:   * 6-piece Bag no longer makes Vs. ridiculously easy.
paulo@0:   * Counts score and garbage separately for future shift to
paulo@0:     gimmick-controlled scoring.
paulo@0:   * Displays score instead of garbage on the play screen.
paulo@0:   * Counts singles, doubles, triples, and homers, and displays them
paulo@0:     in debrief.
paulo@0:   * Option to hide falling piece in addition to shadow.
paulo@0:   * Can load mod, xm, or it music in addition to s3m.
paulo@0:   * Moved skin description from lj.ini to skin.ini, and the name of
paulo@0:     this skin description file name can be changed with the Skin=
paulo@0:     command in lj.ini.
paulo@0:   * Closes lj.ini when reading it.
paulo@0:   * All vkey->action game key handling code moved to macro.c for
paulo@0:     future refactoring.
paulo@0:   * Build process uses automatic generation of C files' dependencies
paulo@0:     for future refactoring of header files.
paulo@0:   * Added two versions of NES-style blocks to lj-contrib:
paulo@0:     one by tepples and one by deepdorp.
paulo@0: 
paulo@0: _____________________________________________________________________
paulo@0: 0.15 (2006-08-27):
paulo@0:   * Options for DAS delay, number of next pieces, and window vs.
paulo@0:     full screen.
paulo@0:   * Options scrolling doesn't cause the dialog's title and
paulo@0:     instructions to flicker.
paulo@0:   * Small font's 5 glyph is the same width as other digits.
paulo@0:   * Fixed O shape table.
paulo@0:   * Macros (vkey->action mappings past the first 8) are in a
paulo@0:     lookup table in the new file macro.c.  This paves the way
paulo@0:     for a future macro editor.
paulo@0:   * Added macros Alt. Firm Drop and Alt. Hold.
paulo@0:   * Game Keys displays names for all keys, not just printable keys.
paulo@0:   * In Sega rotation mode, reads block images from ljblocks-sega.bmp
paulo@0:     and ljconn-sega.bmp if available.
paulo@0:   * If ljbg.jpg is not available, uses a plain white backdrop.

paulo@0:   * Added an arrangement of the minuet from JS Bach's French Suite
paulo@0:     in B minor (BWV 814) to lj-contrib.

paulo@0: _____________________________________________________________________
paulo@0: 0.14 (2006-08-18):
paulo@0:   * pause() renamed to pauseGame() to fix namespace collision on
paulo@0:     platforms with unistd.h (Linux, BSD, Mac).
paulo@0:   * Gimmick settings for initial gravity, ARE, and ceiling height
paulo@0:     are initialized from a lookup table.

paulo@0:     is present.
paulo@0:   * Corrected connection table for O tetromino.

paulo@0:   * Hard drop lock option "Zangi" renamed to "Slide".
paulo@0:   * Added soft drop lock option.
paulo@0:   * Ignores diagonal presses differently: instead of pretending the
paulo@0:     keys are up, it pretends that they haven't changed from the last
paulo@0:     frame.  UP, UP+RIGHT, UP no longer makes a double hard drop.
paulo@0:   * Esc pauses the game and music instead of immediately quitting.
paulo@0:   * Added contributions from cdsboy to lj-contrib.
paulo@0: 
paulo@0: _____________________________________________________________________

paulo@0:     lockdown instead of move-reset (SRS style) lockdown.
paulo@0:   * Contains connection tables for all pieces.  Not used yet,
paulo@0:     but will be used for Cascade (where gravity is based on shapes
paulo@0:     of pieces), Square (which forms big squares only out of whole
paulo@0:     tetrominoes), and Bombliss (which doesn't place a bomb in a block
paulo@0:     that has blocks on opposite sides of it within the piece, such as
paulo@0:     the middle of an I, J, L, or T).
paulo@0:   * Pieces can carry bomb blocks within them.  Not used yet,
paulo@0:     but will be used for Bombliss.
paulo@0:   * Option for sticky gravity.  This will also be used for Bombliss.
paulo@0:   * Options rearranged: game on top, control in middle,
paulo@0:     view on bottom.
paulo@0:   * Options menu uses a smaller font and scrolls if necessary (but
paulo@0:     it's not necessary just yet).
paulo@0:   * Zero isn't wider than other digits in the large or small font.
paulo@0:   * Split debrief screen into debrief.c.
paulo@0:   * Debrief displays lockdown and line clear gravity type.

paulo@0:   * Config screen does a better job of ignoring simultaneous presses
paulo@0:     on USB joystick adapters that map the Control Pad to both axes
paulo@0:     and buttons (such as EMS USB2).
paulo@0:   * Main menu and options always respond to the arrow keys (in
paulo@0:     addition to the keys set in Game Keys), allowing players to
paulo@0:     reset Game Keys even when the keys have become corrupted.

paulo@0:   * Allows separate wall kick tables for clockwise and anticlockwise
paulo@0:     rotation.
paulo@0:   * New "theta=default" in piece->block expansion reflects the
paulo@0:     rotation system's initial orientations for new pieces, next
paulo@0:     pieces, and the hold piece.
paulo@0:   * Option to use Sega rotations instead of SRS rotations.
paulo@0:   * Option for ignoring diagonal presses.
paulo@0:   * Option for locking or not when using hard drop (Up).

paulo@0:     that memoryless cannot be played indefinitely).
paulo@0:   * Debrief screen displays date and time of report generation as
paulo@0:     well as randomizer and sideways speed, and logs what it displays
paulo@0:     to lj-scores.txt.
paulo@0:   * Moved all gimmick-specific code from lj.c to new file gimmicks.c.
paulo@0:   * Built against Allegro 4.2.0.  (Users of previous versions will

paulo@0:   * Countdown based gimmicks (40 lines, 180 seconds, Baboo!,
paulo@0:     TGM World, Drill 40) use the same countdown variable for
paulo@0:     end state detection that they had used for countdown sound.
paulo@0:   * Support for tracked music using DUMB.
paulo@0:   * Manual is HTML.
paulo@0:

paulo@0:   * No double initial rotation when using initial hold in TGM World.
paulo@0:   * Input actions are a 32-bit record for future recording.
paulo@0:   * Hidden next piece is a separate variable, which next piece
paulo@0:     sound also respects, fixing Items.

paulo@0:   * Supports initial hold and rotation.
paulo@0:   * Supports variable garbage randomness.
paulo@0:   * Begun to move gimmick code out of core.

paulo@0:     Standard S.M.G., except there's a half-second delay before each
paulo@0:     tetromino, and a half-second delay after each tetromino that
paulo@0:     forms at least one line. So if you want fast play, make more
paulo@0:     lines at once.
paulo@0:   * Added Drill 40 gimmick: 
paulo@0:     Like 40 lines, but the screen starts with 18 rows of garbage.
paulo@0:     Be prepared to rely on SRS infinite spin for the first few
paulo@0:     lines until your skill improves.

paulo@0:     Standard S.M.G., except after the first 7 pieces you get
paulo@0:     random starting orientations, no rotation, and hidden next
paulo@0:     pieces, and the speed goes to 1G.  Every time you are given an
paulo@0:     I piece, either you get 2 lines of garbage or the columns of
paulo@0:     blocks in the well are shuffled.
paulo@0:   * Fixed scoring tables in README.txt.

paulo@0:   * Added Rhythm gimmick:
paulo@0:     20G, and if you fall below the minimum PPM, it automatically
paulo@0:     locks the tetromino, and the minimum PPM increases by 10 every
