- New optional landscape generator (TerraGenesis Perlin)
- Load heightmaps (either BMP or PNG)
- Progress dialog while generating worlds (no longer a 'hanging' screen)
- New dialogs for NewGame, Create Scenario and Play Heightmap
- Easier to configure your landscape
- More things to configure (tree-placer, ..)
- Speedup of world generation
- New console command 'restart': restart the map EXACTLY as it was when you
first started it (needs a game made after or with this commit)
- New console command 'getseed': get the seed of your map and share it with
others (of course only works with generated maps)
- Many new, world generation related, things
- Many internal cleanups and rewrites

- CodeChange: Change the function GetCurrentLocale(). It returns the locale from some default environment-variables, plus a custom one defined as parameter. If all fail, it tries $LANG.
-Fix: Sort the directories when making a scenario list
-Fix: Sort the directories when making a savegame list on Windows
-Fix: On OS/2 show the trailing \ if the current directory is a root directory
-Regression: On OS/2 the savegame list showed the scenario directory or crashed (probably introduced in r2609)
The rest is diff reduction between the 3 variants
- Do not dereference a local variable which no longer exists; this lead to random crashes when saving
- (Win32) Do not close a handle before it is used last
There are still many major problems (race conditions and resulting memory corruption/crashes) left
Instead of trying to start a single driver and bailing out if that fails, try to initialise one by one and use the first one which succeeds.
This should fix problems on machines with no sound card, where -s null had to be specified manually.
- Feature (small): new command-line option -c <config_file>. You can have OpenTTD load alternative config files with this setup, handy for servers, or for saves from other players if you don't want to rename your own config. This will have to do until all game-related settings are saved ingame. Couldn't find the SF patch, so credits to the guy that wrote it.
- Codechange: Introduction of Textbuf struct which not only holds physical data as length but also pixel-constrains (width) and information about the caret
- Codechange: Move Clipboard function to OS specific file. Currently only Windows has clipboard actions
- Feature: Editboxes, console and exit screen also accept the numeric-enter as a yes
- Feature: Navigation through text with cursor keys is possible, as well as arbitrary insertion (also paste) and deletion; both backspace and del keys. Functions DeleteTextBufferChar, InsertTextBufferChar and InsertTextBufferClipboard handle input and deletion. Navigation is done through MoveTextBufferPos.
- Fix: OTTD crash when opening 'add server' editbox
- CodeChange: fix up some stringwidth calculations in gfx.c. You can get the width in pixels of a character by calling GetCharacterWidth().
