One question that keeps popping up: "when do we release 2.0?".
NewGRF will force that at least 1.16 will be 2.0, but to not wait
for this, let's drop the "1." and be for ever done with that
conversation.
We are following in the footstep of giants here.
Line height defaults to the resize height of the relevant widget, which is
set in all cases. Therefore it is not necessary to specify this value every time.
Additionally fixes scrolled padding for the framerate window.
You can do: "startai myai.3", which starts version 3 of "myai".
This is very useful for testing save/load code between different
versions of your AI.
However, when using this syntax, the AI got saved as "myai.3" as
name of the AI, instead of "myai". This caused several problems,
like indicating to the user the AI could not be found, but still
load the AI. But in all cases, the AI never got the chance to
load the saved data, making the whole reason this exists pointless.
By splitting the name and version already in the console command,
the code becomes simpler and AIs started this way now follow the
normal flow after initialization.
CMake works on all our supported platforms, like MSVC, Mingw, GCC,
Clang, and many more. It allows for a single way of doing things,
so no longer we need shell scripts and vbs scripts to work on all
our supported platforms.
Additionally, CMake allows to generate project files for like MSVC,
KDevelop, etc.
This heavily reduces the lines of code we need to support multiple
platforms from a project perspective.
Addtiionally, this heavily improves our detection of libraries, etc.
This can avoid out-of-memory situations due to single scripts using up the entire address space.
Instead, scripts that go above the maximum are killed.
The maximum is default 1 GB per script, but can be configured by a setting.
DropDownListItem are strongly managed using std::unique_ptr to ensure leak-free handling. Appropriate use
of move-semantics make intent a lot clearer than parameter comments and allows the compiler to generate
copy-free code for most situations.
