-Add: make it possible to pick your own blitter (-b <blitter>, -h for overview)
-Add: added a new optimized 8bpp blitter (default, caches sprites of all zoom-levels)
-Add: added a debug 8bpp blitter and a very slow normal 8bpp blitter
option, sprite_cache_size. The default size is 2MB and the value can
range from 1 to 64MB. If you experience slow-downs when scrolling the
map, try increasing this setting.
- A proper ./configure, so everything needs to be configured only once, not for every make.
- Usage of makedepend when available. This greatly reduces the time needed for generating the dependencies.
- A generator for all project files. There is a single file with sources, which is used to generate Makefiles and the project files for MSVC.
- Proper support for OSX universal binaries.
- Object files for non-MSVC compiles are also placed in separate directories, making is faster to switch between debug and release compiles and it does not touch the directory with the source files.
- Functionality to make a bundle of all needed files for for example a nightly or distribution of a binary with all needed GRFs and language files.
Note: as this merge moves almost all files, it is recommended to make a backup of your working copy before updating your working copy.
