Signficant Changes:

• Change: Only pause the currently active run / flange sound, stop others. (OpenAL appears to become unreliable with large numbers of paused sources)
• Change: Some improvements to the GL main menu when changing resolution.
• Fix: Some BVE5 routes were not working.

Signficant Changes:

• New: Implement sounds for BVE5 AI trains.
• New: Implement default time for BVE5 station jumps.
• Change: Add a tools menu to the GL main menu, and move package management into this menu.
• Change: Update the openbve.desktop file installed by the Debian package.
• Change: Also accept BACKSPACE to clear objects in Object Viewer.
• Fix: Point based sounds were failing to trigger on non BVE5 routes.
• Fix: An invalid position in a quad tree lead to a memory leak.

This release is a relatively small patch, primarily relevant for users on Apple OS-X, and other systems which do not support WinForms.

Significant Changes:

• Fix: BVE5 TXT files were not visible in the GL main menu.
• New: Add route map display to the GL main menu.
• New: Add GL based menus to Route Viewer and Object Viewer for users on systems not supporting WinForms.
• Change: Update zh-HK translation. (KennyHui)
• Fix: Incorrect decoding of some interlaced PNG files.
• Hacks: Use a better initial cab position for Indonesian KIC400.

Ths release contains a major new feature: Initial support for BVE5 format routefiles. It would not have been possible without the hard work of S520 and the parser library created by aoisupersix

My thanks also go to ginga81 and zbx1425 for support, and most importantly Mackoy and Rock_On for the creation and ongoing development of BVE itself.

This initial release contains acceptable to good support for a large proportion of routefiles, albeit with some glitches, which are being worked upon. AI trains are supported, but currently have no sound. Some animation effects are also not currently supported.

• Fix: Changing from wireframe to back could unexpectedly reset GL.ClearColor.
• Fix: Lag when initially changing from cabview to external.
• Fix: Incorrect length check in brake calculations. (Triggered by uncoupling some trains)
• Fix: Incorrect length check in brake calculations. (Triggered by uncoupling some trains)

Whilst the list of changes in this build is quite long, most will not really be of interest to ‘normal’ users, but have instead come about as a result or requirement of introducing running on differing rails, and all the challenges that go with it.
