-v1.0.0  Bug fixes:
-	- Versioning number now reflects v1.0.0 everywhere unlike v0.9.9.
-
-	Improvements:
-	- IFMapper now supports (actually, needs) Fox1.6.
-	- IFMapper now supports internationalization to allow writing
-	  adventures in other languages besides English under Fox1.6
-	  using Unicode (UTF-8).
-	  Language can be changed by setting the environment variable
-	  LC_ALL or by starting IFMapper.rbw like:
-
-	  >  ruby IFMapper.rbw -l es
-
-	  Languages currently supported: English (en) and Spanish (es).
-	  Default is still English.
-	  To write out Inform or TADS text in other languages, you will
-	  also need ruby's iconv module (which should now be part of
-	  both the windows and unix distros)
-	  To add new languages, go to ifmapper-1.0.0/lib/IFMapper/locales
-	  and add one for your particular language.  
-	  Then you need to create an UTF-8 Message.rb file.
-	  If your editor does not support writing out UTF-8 directly,
-	  you can create a file in another encoding and then convert
-	  it with an utility like iconv (see example in 
-	  ifmapper-1.0.0/lib/IFMapper/locales/es)
-
-	- Inform7 writer is now better:
-	  * It now properly recognizes male/female people a 
-	    tad better.
-	  * It now tries to avoid tags as much as possible
-	    to keep Inform7's concept of natural language.
-	  * It recognizes additional words as potential containers, etc.
-	  * It now recognizes the 'lit' property in some objects.
-	- Bug fixed wrap_text() in all exporters.
-
-
-v0.9.9  Improvements:
-	- It is now possible to export maps in Inform 7 new (beta) syntax,
-	  albeit the English grammar is still very limited.
-	  Just name your map with extension ".inform" instead of ".inf"
-	  when saving it or exporting it.
-
-v0.9.8  Bug fixes:
-	- TADS Exporter was incorrectly recognizing locations with "room" in
-	  them as keywords and adding numbers to their tags.  Fixed.
-	  [Bug Report: Greg Boetcherr]
-	- When replacing dark rooms with lit rooms, the transcript
-	  automapper was discarding all other connections.  So, if two dark 
-	  rooms were connected, once one of the dark rooms became lit, the 
-	  connection to the other dark room was removed.  Fixed.
-	- Typo: 'interative' for 'interactive' fixed in TranscriptReader.rb
-	  [Bug Report: unknown]
-	- Fixed PDF Exporter which had broken in v0.9.7.
-
-	Improvements:
-	- Automapper now recognizes two new ways of describing exits as
-	  being blocked.
-	- Automapper was not dealing with Undo properly when mapping 
-	  interactively, leading to the creation of wrong exits if user
-	  moved right after an undo.
-	- Automapper now tries to use the path map to determine if a location
-	  in map is blocked.  This should have the benefit of having the
-	  automapper avoid placing rooms in the middle of complex connections.
-	- Automapper now capitalizes the name of the game/room a tad more
-	  correctly, by always having the first word capitalized.
-	- Added HTML documentation and upload it to rubyforge.  These HTML
-	  docs are now also distributed with IFMapper.
-	- Gem will now add a copy of 'IFMapper.rbw' to the ruby bin directory.
-	  [Suggestion: Lyle Johnson]
-	- Added north-west, north-east, south-west, south-east as alternative
-	  move directions.
-	  [Suggestion: unknown]
-
-
-v0.9.7  What's new:
-	- IFM exporting was incorrectly exporting
-	      map "";
-	  for sections that were unnamed and also when there was only one
-	  section.
-	  Now, IFM exporting will not export map name if only one section
-	  is present.  And if multiple sections are present but are unnamed,
-	  sections will be given the default name of "Section #".
-	  [Bug Report: Eric Forgeot]
-
-	- Improved name finding for Classic transcripts, by actually dealing
-	  with parenthesis in short names a tad more strictly.
-
-	- Added support for reading GUEMap maps (.gmp format).
-	  For both, GUEMap v1.0+ and GUEMap v2.0 (beta).
-	  Comments in GUEmaps will be placed in the task section of rooms.
-	  As GUEmaps supports placing rooms with a finer grid, IFMapper will
-	  try to translate grid positions, but may not always be entirely
-	  successful.
-
-	- Fixed a crashing bug that could occur very rarely when loading
-	  multiple maps due to the canvas not being created.
-
-	- Fixed my email in the README.txt.
-
-	- Improved warning box to allow for multi-line messages.
-	  This helps with telling user about errors when reading from
-	  a file.
-
-	- Rewrote a big chunk of the map readers (inform/tads).  Reason was
-	  two-fold:
-		* make the code smaller and simpler
-		* fix a logic problem in the layout algorithm which was 
-		  leading to maps being laid out much bigger when map had 
-		  a lot of one way connections.  Now room layout is much, much
-		  improved.
-		    [Bug Report: Greg Boettcher]
-		* sped up the creation of map code a tad.
-
-        - Inform reader now understands most special international character
-	  sequences (@:a, etc).
-
-	- TADS reader was marking some one way door exits as normal exits.
-	  Fixed.
-
-	- TADS reader was not dealing with @location notation properly.
-	  It was sometimes placing objects in the wrong room, or completely
-	  ignoring them.
-
-	- TADS reader now handles exits that are <<replaceAction(Enter,*)>>
-
-	- Inform and TADS readers will now extract the name of the map from the
-	  Story constant.
-
-	- Inform reader is a tad smarter about locating objects.
-
-
-v0.9.6  What's new:
-
-	- IFM exporting had gotten broken around v0.9 due to a refactoring
-	  bug.  Fixed.
-
-	- CTRL selection was never quite working as advertised.  Now it
-	  properly does toggle selecting of rooms/connections.
-
-	- Minor improvement to the automapper.  Now places that have Dr.,
-	  St., Ave. and Inc. in them will be recognized as locations.  
-	  Previously, they were ignored due to the period.
-
-	- The automapper will now correctly parse objects from take commands
-	  when the response is something like:
-	       You take the pencil from the bag.
-	  Previously, the object was considered to be 'pencil from the bag'
-	  instead of just 'pencil'. 
-
-	- Slight improvement to the automapper room description		
-	  identification.  When comparing descriptions and a perfect match
-	  or submatch of the description cannot be found against a room, all 
-	  words in that room description will be compared for a 
-	  potential match.  A room will be matched as already present if
-	  at least 20 words match (they also have to be in the same order).  
-	  However, if multiple rooms happen to match 20 words, then the room
-	  with more words matched will be considered as the correct match.
-	  This improvement helps with locations that have identical
-	  descriptions but that perhaps only change the exit paths.
-
-	- I bug fixed the problem with TADS transcripts with the automapper
-	  crashing it.  This was supposed to be fixed in 0.9.5 but I had
-	  inadvertedly reverted the fix before release.
-
-	- Added a new mode to Automapper of transcripts.  The new
-	  mode is called Capitalized and helps map rooms where the room name
-	  uses a single capitalized sentence, like:
-	       Women's change room
-	       Western closet
-	  instead of the more standard:
-	       Women's Change Room
-	       Western Closet
-	  This format seems somewhat popular among IFComp entries, which are
-	  probably trying to follow Infocom's format, but do so incorrectly.
-
-	- Added a new ADRIFT mode to Automapper.  This mode helps map
-	  ADRIFT games, which have some weird form of transcripts, lacking a
-	  prompt.  Tested with The PK Girl mainly.
-
-	- TADS3 source code reader is now much improved.
-	  It recognizes PathPassages, TravelMessage and noTravel 
-	  exits properly. 
-	  It does not consider a missing room as a fatal error and 
-	  will properly find names of rooms when room line is split into 
-	  multiple lines.
-	  It will also display passage and stairway exits properly (previously,
-	  they were considered door exits).
-	  Also, TADS3 reader can now properly parse a t3m Makefile for
-	  sources.
-	  You should now be able to map the big TADS3 demo game 
-	  Return to Ditch Day from source, which previously would run 
-	  into some issues. 
-
-	- TADS and Inform readers now use a slightly different algorithm for
-	  laying out rooms.  This new algorithm results in smaller maps and
-	  usually less complex exits failing.
-
-v0.9.5  What's new:
-
-	- IFMapper now looks for Fox1.4 and 1.2, in that order.  Note that
-	  I still recommend Fox1.2, as it is more stable.
-
-	- Automapper now supports selecting how locations are identified 
-	  (either by comparing the room descriptions or just the short name) 
-	  as well as adds support for some unusual location short name
-	  formats used in some Infocom games (Moonmist, Witness).
-
-	- Automapper should now be able to automatically detect the name of
-	  the game from the transcript (at least with WinFrotz and
-	  Glux transcripts).
-
-	- Automapper was idiotically skipping the first command typed in
-	  transcript.  Fixed.
-
-	- Room descriptions now remove starting/trailing spaces or newlines.
-
-	- If possible, when getting an object, if the automapper sees an
-	  answer like "You now have the ...", it will take the object name
-	  from that line instead of from the name the user typed in his
-	  command.
-
-	- Removed some debugging put statements from automapper that had been
-	  left by mistake in v0.9.
-
-	- Added the name of the room to the statusbar when mouse is over
-	  a room.
-
-	- You can now save an .ifm, .t, or .inf file directly from the
-	  save as requester, if you type in a filename with such an
-	  extension.
-
-	- The automapper now also looks for transcripts with extensions
-	  .scr (Magnetic Scrolls/Glux) and .txt (Hugo) by default.
-	  Note that Hugo, Glux and Magnetic Scrolls transcripts do
-	  not append text to transcripts after each move, instead keeping a 
-	  buffer that gets spit out when filled.  Thus, automapping while
-	  playing a game with these interpreters game is not as interactive 
-	  as with winfrotz and similar.  This method can also lead to some 
-	  rooms to be missed or some connections be mistaken, as sometimes
-	  room descriptions will be written out only partially.
-	  Finally, TADS interpreter is the worst, in that it will actually
-	  lock the transcript file, not allowing any other program to read it.
-
-	- Cut/Copying was not allowing you to copy stub connections.  Fixed.
-
-	- Pasting was not pasting the path properties (special, door, etc)
-
-	- I changed a tad how connections are stored internally to using
-	  arrays for the two rooms and the two exit texts.  I then added
-	  code for some common operations.
-
-	- I removed the idea of BtoA connections.  Now, whenever a BtoA
-	  connection is needed, the elements in the connection are reversed.
-	  This helps immensely to simplify operations and comparisons
-	  on connections (and I should have done this much earlier).
-	  In the GUI, if you want to flip a connection from A->B to B->A,
-	  you no longer do so with clicking twice on the connection but
-	  can do so now from the right mouse menu.
-
-	- Stub connections are now drawn a tad shorter.  This helps to
-	  avoid the problem of two nearby stub connections looking as
-	  if it was a single connection.
-
-	- Connection window now correctly disables buttons when selecting
-	  looping connections.
-
-	- Looping connections are no longer drawn as curves, as they look
-	  more clear as straight lines.
-
-	- Fixed a minor display bug that would draw room index numbers
-	  with the wrong font, while editing the room.
-
-	- Help->About will now also display the FXRuby version being
-	  used.
-
-	- When adding multiple objects with 'get all' during an automapping
-	  of a transcript, you would get additional newlines.  Fixed.
-
-	- Sped up a tad path finding and most operations involving path map.
-
-	- Added a check to automapper when transcripts cannot be opened.
-	  This helps, for example, with TADS transcripts, which are locked
-	  and cannot be opened while you are still on script mode (this
-	  absolutely blows in TADS!).
-	  Previously, opening a TADS transcript in progress would just 
-	  crash IFMapper.
-
-	- Fixed yet another problem with links among rooms in different
-	  sections that could still result in crashes while automapping.
-
-	- File->Save As will now warn you if you are about to overwrite a
-	  file.
-
-	- Deleting rooms will now correctly recalculate the path map.
-
-	- IFMapper gem was not including the demo maps with extension
-	  .map.  Fixed.
-
-	- Fixed a thread racing condition which would modify the map's
-	  sizes as it was being drawn.  This could sometimes result in crashes
-	  during transcript automapping.  Now we use a mutex to avoid the
-	  problem.
-
-	- I added a work-around for a bug in Fox that would sometimes
-	  not re-initialize the canvas properly and would lead to a crash,
-	  usually after 1+ hour of use of the automapper.  This problem is not
-	  yet fixed (it is a Fox issue), but the work-around will try at
-	  least twice to make it work.
-	
-	- Switching from one map to another now immediately updates the
-	  section # in the toolbar.
-
-	- There's now a new option called Map->Room List which will
-	  list all the rooms in your map, allowing you to also select 
-	  and sort rooms from that list.
-
-	- Added new full maps for Risorgimiento Represo, Christminster, a full
-	  Anchorhead, the three Earth & Sky games, City of Secrets, Moonmist,
-	  All Roads, Trinity.
-	  Partial maps for Dreamhold, Savoir Fare, Heroine's Mantle, World's
-	  Apart, Metamorphoses, Pytho's Mask.
-	  All of these were created with the automapper, as I played those 
-	  games.
-
-v0.9 - What's new:
-
-       - Fixed a very idiotic bug in Cut algorithm.  It was basically 
-	 destroying all cut connections right after they were cut.
-
-       - Editing rooms' names or objects now results in a much, much
-	 faster redraw of the map, even if map is very complex.
-
-       - You can now display and edit a location's description.  This
-	 description is often used by the the automapper during transcript
-	 mapping to determine the uniqueness of a room, albeit the main 
-	 use of editing a room description is to allow creation of 
-	 new games (currently, Inform/TADS3).
-
-       - You can now optionally avoid displaying the task or description
-	 section on rooms.
-	 This is mainly to allow you to read maps that have walkthru tasks
-	 in them without giving away the game.
-
-       - IFMapper now supports the concept of closed but unlocked doors.  
-	 These will be displayed as a white square between connections.
-	 The main interest of placing these doors is for creation
-	 of new Inform games, not so much for solving games.
-
-       - You can now select exit stubs.  Useful for deleting them when
-	 automapper detects them incorrectly.
-
-       - Saving and Loading a map will now verify the integrity of the map
-	 is correct.  This prevets autosave from saving a corrupt map if
-	 there is a bug in the program.
-
-       - CTRL-Selection is a toggle selection.  That is, if you click once
-	 on something already selected, it is deselected.
-
-       - Automapper improvements
-         * Automapper will now deal with complex commands involving 'then'
-	   a tad better.
-	 * An additional fix to dark rooms.  Looking in a dark room would
-	   result in the dark room being created, even if the room had
-	   already been tagged as dark.  Fixed.
-	 * When choosing an up/down/in/out/random move direction, a new
-	   connection will not be generated if there is already a similar
-	   n/s/e/w/etc. link between the two rooms.  This helps to simplify
-	   some maps.
-	 * Automapper now will try to automatically remove stub exits that
-	   are not really exits if the user tries to move in that direction
-	   and fails.
-	 * Automapping was incorrectly reporting a maze when a new exit
-	   would point in the same direction as a visited up/down or in/out
-	   exit.
-	 * Room descriptions are now compared (and stored) without \n at the
-	   end of each line.  This helps with comparing descriptions with any
-	   description the user typed manually.
-	 * Automapper will no longer crash if a link is attempted between
-	   two rooms in different sections, nor will it corrupt your map as
-	   it did before.
-	 * Automapper is now a tad smarter in not considering words such
-	   as open/close in descriptions.  This helps the automapper not
-	   get confused if a door which is part of the room description 
-	   changes state.
-
-       - Inform support.
-
-	 * You can now read an inform file and automap it, with
-	   some limitations.
-	   The main limitation deals with how doors are handled, as Inform
-	   offers an almost infinite number of ways of dealing with doors,
-	   including the use of at least one of 4 popular libraries.  Some
-	   code will actually resolve issues of where doors lead to within,
-	   for example, the "Enter" or "Exit" command, making parsing .inf
-	   files impossible without writing a full inform compiler.
-	   A second limitation is that Inform allows doors that exist only 
-	   on one "side" of a room.  These exits will be ignored.
-	   The inform automapper should prove compatible with most door 
-	   libraries, but will probably choke on a lot of hand-coded code.
-
-	 * You can now export a map as an Inform .inf (source code) file.
-	   This can be helpful at the beginning of designing a game to place
-	   all objects/characters, doors and room descriptions easily.
-	   Obviously, these source code files will later get hacked heavily
-	   manually to provide the real game functionality.  
-	   IFMapper just gives you a start, helping you design
-	   the landscape a tad more easily.
-	   Doors are created in Inform using Andrew MacKinnon's easydoors 
-	   Inform extension.
-
-	   NOTE:  A word of warning about reading Inform or TADS maps.
-	   Since these file formats have no concept of 'sections', they
-	   can lead to some **HUGE** maps.  The original Adventure, for
-	   example, results in a 100x100 map.  These huge maps may run
-	   into memory issues and currently make the path-finding algorithm
-	   work extremely slow.
-
-        - TADS 3 support
-
-	  * NOTE:  TADS 2 is currently *NOT* supported.
-
-	  * You can now read a TADS 3 file and automap it, with some
-	    limitations.
-	    Basically, TADS 3 templates are currently *NOT* supported.
-	    Instead, the standard library templates are kind of hard-coded
-	    in the reader.
-	    TADS 3's standard lib is more sensible than Inform when it 
-	    comes to doors, so it should hopefully lead to less 
-	    problems there.
-
-	  * You can now export a TADS 3 (.t) file.  Same concept as Inform,
-	    albeit doors are created using TADS3 standard door classes.
-
-
-
-v0.8.5 - This is mainly a bug fix release.
-	 
-	 - Improvements to the automapper:
-	 * Now it uses much, much less memory as the automapper database
-	   will now use the actual map database.  This is mainly a departure
-	   from the original Perl code.
-	 * Now it will properly recognize rooms that were created manually.
-	   This allows you to start the automapper with an already created
-	   map and also work around any rooms that the automapper does not
-	   automatically recognize.
-	 * Cut/Copy/Paste rooms will also internally copy their descriptions,
-	   so the automapper will not get confused.
-	 * Adding objects now checks if the object was already typed in
-	   manually.
-	 * Fixed a bug with in/out/down/up exits not recognizing if the exit
-	   was already drawn in the room, resulting in two identical exits.
-	 * Now saving/loading a map that has been automapped will also save its
-	   descriptions.  This allows you to keep automapping a game easily
-	   in different sessions.
-	 * Restore/Restart/Unscript was not working appropiately.  
-	   It should have allowed you to "teleport" to any new location, yet 
-	   it was creating incorrect links.
-	 * There's now better handling of rooms gone dark (previously, they
-	   were treated as a separate location and multiple dark rooms
-	   would create links to a single dark room)
-	 
-	 - .map save format now is smaller, as some useless data was getting
-	   saved, which we now skip.  Note, however, that when automapping
-	   .map size is bigger, as room descriptions get also stored now.
-
-	 - Fixed a minor display bug when room name would take 4 rows and
-	   objects would not fit in box.
-
-	 - Added some new (possibly incomplete) maps, that I did while
-	   testing the stuff.  All done with automapper: 
-	   Deadline, Dutch Dapper, Blue Doors, Inhumane, Not Just an
-	   Ordinary Ballerina.
-
-	 - Map resizing was always complaining about rooms being deleted.
-	   Fixed.
-
-	 - Fixed a nasty crashing bug that would happen if trying to load
-	   an IFM file with no windows open.
-
-	 - Fixed a nasty crashing bug when pasting and then immediately
-	   selecting pasted rooms, as the rooms were not added to the 
-	   pathmap.
-
-	 - Complex doors that are locked are now drawn with a crossed line
-	   along the middle.
-
-	 - Complex paths drawn as bsplines are now drawn with a tad less
-	   quality to improve drawing speed.
-
-v0.8.1 - Just some fixes to the automapper, as it was failing on some 
-	 relatively simple games.
-
-	 Automapper was not matching rooms with periods in them.  This was
-	 causing problems with games that had rooms like "Mr. Hellman's 
-	 Bedroom".
-
-	 Improved the handling of multiple directional commands.  A command
-	 like: 'n, e, w' is now handled properly.
-
-	 Moved 'fox' requires together so it is easy to upgrade to 
-	 upcoming fox14.
-
-v0.8 - Added the ability to create linked rooms using the Numeric Keypad.
-       Turn on NUM LOCK, select a single room and then use the numbers in 
-       the keypad to move thru an exit or add a room in a certain direction.
-
-       Changed name of the main program from IFMapper.rb to IFMapper.rbw.
-       This helps on windows in not bringing up a dummy console window.
-
-       Added Home/End/PageUp/PageDown to move nodes diagonally.  This
-       helps with the Keypad, when not in NUM LOCK mode.
-
-       Fixed a bug that effected IFMReader that I inadvertedly 
-       introduced in v0.7.
-
-       Removed Postscript support.  I just realized that GSview also reads
-       PDFs making Postscript really not needed.
-
-       Added splitting of huge sections into multiple pages when spitting
-       PDFs.
-
-       Fixed a bug that would result in a stack trace when loading an IFM
-       file that was pretty big onto an a very tiny empty map.
-
-       Added the ability to Automap a game from transcripts.  Go to
-       your game, type 'script' and the filename to save your transcript to.
-       Then, go to IFMapper and go to Map->Automap->Start.  Give it that
-       filename.  Voila.  IFMapper will start automapping the game.
-       Leave the transcript on and, as you play the game, IFMapper behind
-       the scenes will keep automapping.
-
-       # Added tooltip when zoomed out.
-
-v0.7 - Fix the issue of users trying to fire up the application from another
-       directory, without cd'ing themselves to the IFMapper directory.
-
-       Added IFM export.
-       Note that albeit you can load and save out an IFM map file, if you load 
-       and then save an ifm file, the integrity of the ifm file created by 
-       hand will not be kept.
-       Things such as ifm variables, task and object dependencies will be
-       lost if you do that.  It is unlikely I will add full walkthru 
-       functionality to IFMapper.
-       IFMapper's main format remains its propietary .map format (which is
-       just marshalling of its internal ruby classes).
-
-       Added a popup menu to the use of the right mouse button.  The main
-       functionality of this is to allow you to easily shift or switch
-       a connection from one room exit to another.  
-       To use it, select a single connection among rooms, then press RMB 
-       and select the room and the exit you want to shift the connection to.  
-       Voila!  Much easier than having to delete and recreate the connection.
-
-       Improved selection mechanism a tad to be more accurate.  Now you
-       can create complex connections near other complex connections, allowing
-       you to make, for example, intercrossing connections like:
-		R---R
-		|\ /|
-		| X |
-		|/ \|
-		R---R
-       This still needs some minor work as you cannot select long connections
-       near room transition areas.
-
-       Fixed a startup crashing bug when HOME variable was not defined.
-       If it is, IFMapper will use the value of it.  If not, user preferences 
-       will get saved to %USERPROFILE% if defined or %HOMEDRIVE%/%HOMEPATH%.
-       If all fails, prefs will get saved to the current directory.
-
-       Searching rooms, objects or tasks now also tries to center the window
-       on the current room being found.  The Next/Previous button now make
-       a tad more sense.  Also, rooms in other sections are not selected
-       until you move to that section using Next/Previous.
-
-       There's now an additional search item to allow searching for keywords
-       in tasks. 
-
-       You can now select all nodes or none of them from a menu option.
-
-       Zooming with mousewheel is a tad faster.
-
-       There's now some very bare bones Postscript exporting, albeit no
-       printing yet.  Printing is really a tough cookie to crack across 
-       platforms.
-
-       Fixed a minor bug regarding failed connections that could show with some
-       ifm files (mainly Zork1.ifm)
-
-       Added some more documentation and also some thank yous.
-
-       Added proper cut/copy/pasting of rooms and connections to the same
-       section, to new sections or even to different maps.  Just select the
-       rooms and connections you want to copy and do cut/copy and then paste.
-       Rooms are pasted to the first map area that has enough free nodes to
-       support them.
-
-       Made SHIFT-DRAG selection also select connections.
-
-       Updated my email.
-
-v0.6 - Fixed a crashing bug when nodes were moved too far to the right or
-       to the bottom of the map area.
-       
-       Recoded A* algorithm to fix some bugs and moved it away from FXMap
-       class, into its separate class and file.
-       
-       Added cursors for n/nw/w/sw/s/se/e/ne connections.  Note, however,
-       that the hotspot for the cursors is not working properly (this seems
-       an fxruby bug).
-       
-       Added color preferences.
-       
-       Some refactoring and documenting of code.
-       
-       PDF Export is improved.  Now map sections will be packed into a
-       page when possible.  A landscape page will be automatically chosen
-       for each section, if it helps fit the map in the page.
-       Also, pdf export will now show objects in rooms as well as 'U', 'D',
-       'I', 'O' text in exits. 
-
-       Added the ability to set the map width/height from the Map Information
-       panel.
-
-       Fixed an obscure bug when loading IFM maps that were bigger than the
-       default map size.
-
-v0.5 - First public release on Rubyforge.
+v1.0.6  - Added new item list window.
+
+v1.0.5  - Improved PDF output in Letter box mode.
+	- Fixed IFM writer styles and syntax.
+
+v1.0.4  - Fixed IFM connections to same room (loop paths)
+	- Improved PDF output, applied samwise patch.
+	- Fixed Inform7, 6 and TADS output of loop paths.
+
+v1.0.2  - Added keyboard shortcut + and - for zooming in map
+
+	Bug fixes:
+	- Fixed modified map check which always asked for saving map.
+	- Fixed start bug for unknown locales.  They now default to english.
+	- Fixed deleting of a section due to a typo.
+
+v1.0.1  Bug fixes:
+	- Read only and automap title now print properly.
+	- Bunch of warnings of ruby1.8.3 now removed.
+	- Added rake-compiler to dependency since fox needs it.
+
+v1.0.0  Bug fixes:
+	- Versioning number now reflects v1.0.0 everywhere unlike v0.9.9.
+
+	Improvements:
+	- IFMapper now supports (actually, needs) Fox1.6.
+	- IFMapper now supports internationalization to allow writing
+	  adventures in other languages besides English under Fox1.6
+	  using Unicode (UTF-8).
+	  Language can be changed by setting the environment variable
+	  LC_ALL or by starting IFMapper.rbw like:
+
+	  >  ruby IFMapper.rbw -l es
+
+	  Languages currently supported: English (en) and Spanish (es).
+	  Default is still English.
+	  To write out Inform or TADS text in other languages, you will
+	  also need ruby's iconv module (which should now be part of
+	  both the windows and unix distros)
+	  To add new languages, go to ifmapper-1.0.0/lib/IFMapper/locales
+	  and add one for your particular language.  
+	  Then you need to create an UTF-8 Message.rb file.
+	  If your editor does not support writing out UTF-8 directly,
+	  you can create a file in another encoding and then convert
+	  it with an utility like iconv (see example in 
+	  ifmapper-1.0.0/lib/IFMapper/locales/es)
+
+	- Inform7 writer is now better:
+	  * It now properly recognizes male/female people a 
+	    tad better.
+	  * It now tries to avoid tags as much as possible
+	    to keep Inform7's concept of natural language.
+	  * It recognizes additional words as potential containers, etc.
+	  * It now recognizes the 'lit' property in some objects.
+	- Bug fixed wrap_text() in all exporters.
+
+
+v0.9.9  Improvements:
+	- It is now possible to export maps in Inform 7 new (beta) syntax,
+	  albeit the English grammar is still very limited.
+	  Just name your map with extension ".inform" instead of ".inf"
+	  when saving it or exporting it.
+
+v0.9.8  Bug fixes:
+	- TADS Exporter was incorrectly recognizing locations with "room" in
+	  them as keywords and adding numbers to their tags.  Fixed.
+	  [Bug Report: Greg Boetcherr]
+	- When replacing dark rooms with lit rooms, the transcript
+	  automapper was discarding all other connections.  So, if two dark 
+	  rooms were connected, once one of the dark rooms became lit, the 
+	  connection to the other dark room was removed.  Fixed.
+	- Typo: 'interative' for 'interactive' fixed in TranscriptReader.rb
+	  [Bug Report: unknown]
+	- Fixed PDF Exporter which had broken in v0.9.7.
+
+	Improvements:
+	- Automapper now recognizes two new ways of describing exits as
+	  being blocked.
+	- Automapper was not dealing with Undo properly when mapping 
+	  interactively, leading to the creation of wrong exits if user
+	  moved right after an undo.
+	- Automapper now tries to use the path map to determine if a location
+	  in map is blocked.  This should have the benefit of having the
+	  automapper avoid placing rooms in the middle of complex connections.
+	- Automapper now capitalizes the name of the game/room a tad more
+	  correctly, by always having the first word capitalized.
+	- Added HTML documentation and upload it to rubyforge.  These HTML
+	  docs are now also distributed with IFMapper.
+	- Gem will now add a copy of 'IFMapper.rbw' to the ruby bin directory.
+	  [Suggestion: Lyle Johnson]
+	- Added north-west, north-east, south-west, south-east as alternative
+	  move directions.
+	  [Suggestion: unknown]
+
+
+v0.9.7  What's new:
+	- IFM exporting was incorrectly exporting
+	      map "";
+	  for sections that were unnamed and also when there was only one
+	  section.
+	  Now, IFM exporting will not export map name if only one section
+	  is present.  And if multiple sections are present but are unnamed,
+	  sections will be given the default name of "Section #".
+	  [Bug Report: Eric Forgeot]
+
+	- Improved name finding for Classic transcripts, by actually dealing
+	  with parenthesis in short names a tad more strictly.
+
+	- Added support for reading GUEMap maps (.gmp format).
+	  For both, GUEMap v1.0+ and GUEMap v2.0 (beta).
+	  Comments in GUEmaps will be placed in the task section of rooms.
+	  As GUEmaps supports placing rooms with a finer grid, IFMapper will
+	  try to translate grid positions, but may not always be entirely
+	  successful.
+
+	- Fixed a crashing bug that could occur very rarely when loading
+	  multiple maps due to the canvas not being created.
+
+	- Fixed my email in the README.txt.
+
+	- Improved warning box to allow for multi-line messages.
+	  This helps with telling user about errors when reading from
+	  a file.
+
+	- Rewrote a big chunk of the map readers (inform/tads).  Reason was
+	  two-fold:
+		* make the code smaller and simpler
+		* fix a logic problem in the layout algorithm which was 
+		  leading to maps being laid out much bigger when map had 
+		  a lot of one way connections.  Now room layout is much, much
+		  improved.
+		    [Bug Report: Greg Boettcher]
+		* sped up the creation of map code a tad.
+
+        - Inform reader now understands most special international character
+	  sequences (@:a, etc).
+
+	- TADS reader was marking some one way door exits as normal exits.
+	  Fixed.
+
+	- TADS reader was not dealing with @location notation properly.
+	  It was sometimes placing objects in the wrong room, or completely
+	  ignoring them.
+
+	- TADS reader now handles exits that are <<replaceAction(Enter,*)>>
+
+	- Inform and TADS readers will now extract the name of the map from the
+	  Story constant.
+
+	- Inform reader is a tad smarter about locating objects.
+
+
+v0.9.6  What's new:
+
+	- IFM exporting had gotten broken around v0.9 due to a refactoring
+	  bug.  Fixed.
+
+	- CTRL selection was never quite working as advertised.  Now it
+	  properly does toggle selecting of rooms/connections.
+
+	- Minor improvement to the automapper.  Now places that have Dr.,
+	  St., Ave. and Inc. in them will be recognized as locations.  
+	  Previously, they were ignored due to the period.
+
+	- The automapper will now correctly parse objects from take commands
+	  when the response is something like:
+	       You take the pencil from the bag.
+	  Previously, the object was considered to be 'pencil from the bag'
+	  instead of just 'pencil'. 
+
+	- Slight improvement to the automapper room description		
+	  identification.  When comparing descriptions and a perfect match
+	  or submatch of the description cannot be found against a room, all 
+	  words in that room description will be compared for a 
+	  potential match.  A room will be matched as already present if
+	  at least 20 words match (they also have to be in the same order).  
+	  However, if multiple rooms happen to match 20 words, then the room
+	  with more words matched will be considered as the correct match.
+	  This improvement helps with locations that have identical
+	  descriptions but that perhaps only change the exit paths.
+
+	- I bug fixed the problem with TADS transcripts with the automapper
+	  crashing it.  This was supposed to be fixed in 0.9.5 but I had
+	  inadvertedly reverted the fix before release.
+
+	- Added a new mode to Automapper of transcripts.  The new
+	  mode is called Capitalized and helps map rooms where the room name
+	  uses a single capitalized sentence, like:
+	       Women's change room
+	       Western closet
+	  instead of the more standard:
+	       Women's Change Room
+	       Western Closet
+	  This format seems somewhat popular among IFComp entries, which are
+	  probably trying to follow Infocom's format, but do so incorrectly.
+
+	- Added a new ADRIFT mode to Automapper.  This mode helps map
+	  ADRIFT games, which have some weird form of transcripts, lacking a
+	  prompt.  Tested with The PK Girl mainly.
+
+	- TADS3 source code reader is now much improved.
+	  It recognizes PathPassages, TravelMessage and noTravel 
+	  exits properly. 
+	  It does not consider a missing room as a fatal error and 
+	  will properly find names of rooms when room line is split into 
+	  multiple lines.
+	  It will also display passage and stairway exits properly (previously,
+	  they were considered door exits).
+	  Also, TADS3 reader can now properly parse a t3m Makefile for
+	  sources.
+	  You should now be able to map the big TADS3 demo game 
+	  Return to Ditch Day from source, which previously would run 
+	  into some issues. 
+
+	- TADS and Inform readers now use a slightly different algorithm for
+	  laying out rooms.  This new algorithm results in smaller maps and
+	  usually less complex exits failing.
+
+v0.9.5  What's new:
+
+	- IFMapper now looks for Fox1.4 and 1.2, in that order.  Note that
+	  I still recommend Fox1.2, as it is more stable.
+
+	- Automapper now supports selecting how locations are identified 
+	  (either by comparing the room descriptions or just the short name) 
+	  as well as adds support for some unusual location short name
+	  formats used in some Infocom games (Moonmist, Witness).
+
+	- Automapper should now be able to automatically detect the name of
+	  the game from the transcript (at least with WinFrotz and
+	  Glux transcripts).
+
+	- Automapper was idiotically skipping the first command typed in
+	  transcript.  Fixed.
+
+	- Room descriptions now remove starting/trailing spaces or newlines.
+
+	- If possible, when getting an object, if the automapper sees an
+	  answer like "You now have the ...", it will take the object name
+	  from that line instead of from the name the user typed in his
+	  command.
+
+	- Removed some debugging put statements from automapper that had been
+	  left by mistake in v0.9.
+
+	- Added the name of the room to the statusbar when mouse is over
+	  a room.
+
+	- You can now save an .ifm, .t, or .inf file directly from the
+	  save as requester, if you type in a filename with such an
+	  extension.
+
+	- The automapper now also looks for transcripts with extensions
+	  .scr (Magnetic Scrolls/Glux) and .txt (Hugo) by default.
+	  Note that Hugo, Glux and Magnetic Scrolls transcripts do
+	  not append text to transcripts after each move, instead keeping a 
+	  buffer that gets spit out when filled.  Thus, automapping while
+	  playing a game with these interpreters game is not as interactive 
+	  as with winfrotz and similar.  This method can also lead to some 
+	  rooms to be missed or some connections be mistaken, as sometimes
+	  room descriptions will be written out only partially.
+	  Finally, TADS interpreter is the worst, in that it will actually
+	  lock the transcript file, not allowing any other program to read it.
+
+	- Cut/Copying was not allowing you to copy stub connections.  Fixed.
+
+	- Pasting was not pasting the path properties (special, door, etc)
+
+	- I changed a tad how connections are stored internally to using
+	  arrays for the two rooms and the two exit texts.  I then added
+	  code for some common operations.
+
+	- I removed the idea of BtoA connections.  Now, whenever a BtoA
+	  connection is needed, the elements in the connection are reversed.
+	  This helps immensely to simplify operations and comparisons
+	  on connections (and I should have done this much earlier).
+	  In the GUI, if you want to flip a connection from A->B to B->A,
+	  you no longer do so with clicking twice on the connection but
+	  can do so now from the right mouse menu.
+
+	- Stub connections are now drawn a tad shorter.  This helps to
+	  avoid the problem of two nearby stub connections looking as
+	  if it was a single connection.
+
+	- Connection window now correctly disables buttons when selecting
+	  looping connections.
+
+	- Looping connections are no longer drawn as curves, as they look
+	  more clear as straight lines.
+
+	- Fixed a minor display bug that would draw room index numbers
+	  with the wrong font, while editing the room.
+
+	- Help->About will now also display the FXRuby version being
+	  used.
+
+	- When adding multiple objects with 'get all' during an automapping
+	  of a transcript, you would get additional newlines.  Fixed.
+
+	- Sped up a tad path finding and most operations involving path map.
+
+	- Added a check to automapper when transcripts cannot be opened.
+	  This helps, for example, with TADS transcripts, which are locked
+	  and cannot be opened while you are still on script mode (this
+	  absolutely blows in TADS!).
+	  Previously, opening a TADS transcript in progress would just 
+	  crash IFMapper.
+
+	- Fixed yet another problem with links among rooms in different
+	  sections that could still result in crashes while automapping.
+
+	- File->Save As will now warn you if you are about to overwrite a
+	  file.
+
+	- Deleting rooms will now correctly recalculate the path map.
+
+	- IFMapper gem was not including the demo maps with extension
+	  .map.  Fixed.
+
+	- Fixed a thread racing condition which would modify the map's
+	  sizes as it was being drawn.  This could sometimes result in crashes
+	  during transcript automapping.  Now we use a mutex to avoid the
+	  problem.
+
+	- I added a work-around for a bug in Fox that would sometimes
+	  not re-initialize the canvas properly and would lead to a crash,
+	  usually after 1+ hour of use of the automapper.  This problem is not
+	  yet fixed (it is a Fox issue), but the work-around will try at
+	  least twice to make it work.
+	
+	- Switching from one map to another now immediately updates the
+	  section # in the toolbar.
+
+	- There's now a new option called Map->Room List which will
+	  list all the rooms in your map, allowing you to also select 
+	  and sort rooms from that list.
+
+	- Added new full maps for Risorgimiento Represo, Christminster, a full
+	  Anchorhead, the three Earth & Sky games, City of Secrets, Moonmist,
+	  All Roads, Trinity.
+	  Partial maps for Dreamhold, Savoir Fare, Heroine's Mantle, World's
+	  Apart, Metamorphoses, Pytho's Mask.
+	  All of these were created with the automapper, as I played those 
+	  games.
+
+v0.9 - What's new:
+
+       - Fixed a very idiotic bug in Cut algorithm.  It was basically 
+	 destroying all cut connections right after they were cut.
+
+       - Editing rooms' names or objects now results in a much, much
+	 faster redraw of the map, even if map is very complex.
+
+       - You can now display and edit a location's description.  This
+	 description is often used by the the automapper during transcript
+	 mapping to determine the uniqueness of a room, albeit the main 
+	 use of editing a room description is to allow creation of 
+	 new games (currently, Inform/TADS3).
+
+       - You can now optionally avoid displaying the task or description
+	 section on rooms.
+	 This is mainly to allow you to read maps that have walkthru tasks
+	 in them without giving away the game.
+
+       - IFMapper now supports the concept of closed but unlocked doors.  
+	 These will be displayed as a white square between connections.
+	 The main interest of placing these doors is for creation
+	 of new Inform games, not so much for solving games.
+
+       - You can now select exit stubs.  Useful for deleting them when
+	 automapper detects them incorrectly.
+
+       - Saving and Loading a map will now verify the integrity of the map
+	 is correct.  This prevets autosave from saving a corrupt map if
+	 there is a bug in the program.
+
+       - CTRL-Selection is a toggle selection.  That is, if you click once
+	 on something already selected, it is deselected.
+
+       - Automapper improvements
+         * Automapper will now deal with complex commands involving 'then'
+	   a tad better.
+	 * An additional fix to dark rooms.  Looking in a dark room would
+	   result in the dark room being created, even if the room had
+	   already been tagged as dark.  Fixed.
+	 * When choosing an up/down/in/out/random move direction, a new
+	   connection will not be generated if there is already a similar
+	   n/s/e/w/etc. link between the two rooms.  This helps to simplify
+	   some maps.
+	 * Automapper now will try to automatically remove stub exits that
+	   are not really exits if the user tries to move in that direction
+	   and fails.
+	 * Automapping was incorrectly reporting a maze when a new exit
+	   would point in the same direction as a visited up/down or in/out
+	   exit.
+	 * Room descriptions are now compared (and stored) without \n at the
+	   end of each line.  This helps with comparing descriptions with any
+	   description the user typed manually.
+	 * Automapper will no longer crash if a link is attempted between
+	   two rooms in different sections, nor will it corrupt your map as
+	   it did before.
+	 * Automapper is now a tad smarter in not considering words such
+	   as open/close in descriptions.  This helps the automapper not
+	   get confused if a door which is part of the room description 
+	   changes state.
+
+       - Inform support.
+
+	 * You can now read an inform file and automap it, with
+	   some limitations.
+	   The main limitation deals with how doors are handled, as Inform
+	   offers an almost infinite number of ways of dealing with doors,
+	   including the use of at least one of 4 popular libraries.  Some
+	   code will actually resolve issues of where doors lead to within,
+	   for example, the "Enter" or "Exit" command, making parsing .inf
+	   files impossible without writing a full inform compiler.
+	   A second limitation is that Inform allows doors that exist only 
+	   on one "side" of a room.  These exits will be ignored.
+	   The inform automapper should prove compatible with most door 
+	   libraries, but will probably choke on a lot of hand-coded code.
+
+	 * You can now export a map as an Inform .inf (source code) file.
+	   This can be helpful at the beginning of designing a game to place
+	   all objects/characters, doors and room descriptions easily.
+	   Obviously, these source code files will later get hacked heavily
+	   manually to provide the real game functionality.  
+	   IFMapper just gives you a start, helping you design
+	   the landscape a tad more easily.
+	   Doors are created in Inform using Andrew MacKinnon's easydoors 
+	   Inform extension.
+
+	   NOTE:  A word of warning about reading Inform or TADS maps.
+	   Since these file formats have no concept of 'sections', they
+	   can lead to some **HUGE** maps.  The original Adventure, for
+	   example, results in a 100x100 map.  These huge maps may run
+	   into memory issues and currently make the path-finding algorithm
+	   work extremely slow.
+
+        - TADS 3 support
+
+	  * NOTE:  TADS 2 is currently *NOT* supported.
+
+	  * You can now read a TADS 3 file and automap it, with some
+	    limitations.
+	    Basically, TADS 3 templates are currently *NOT* supported.
+	    Instead, the standard library templates are kind of hard-coded
+	    in the reader.
+	    TADS 3's standard lib is more sensible than Inform when it 
+	    comes to doors, so it should hopefully lead to less 
+	    problems there.
+
+	  * You can now export a TADS 3 (.t) file.  Same concept as Inform,
+	    albeit doors are created using TADS3 standard door classes.
+
+
+
+v0.8.5 - This is mainly a bug fix release.
+	 
+	 - Improvements to the automapper:
+	 * Now it uses much, much less memory as the automapper database
+	   will now use the actual map database.  This is mainly a departure
+	   from the original Perl code.
+	 * Now it will properly recognize rooms that were created manually.
+	   This allows you to start the automapper with an already created
+	   map and also work around any rooms that the automapper does not
+	   automatically recognize.
+	 * Cut/Copy/Paste rooms will also internally copy their descriptions,
+	   so the automapper will not get confused.
+	 * Adding objects now checks if the object was already typed in
+	   manually.
+	 * Fixed a bug with in/out/down/up exits not recognizing if the exit
+	   was already drawn in the room, resulting in two identical exits.
+	 * Now saving/loading a map that has been automapped will also save its
+	   descriptions.  This allows you to keep automapping a game easily
+	   in different sessions.
+	 * Restore/Restart/Unscript was not working appropiately.  
+	   It should have allowed you to "teleport" to any new location, yet 
+	   it was creating incorrect links.
+	 * There's now better handling of rooms gone dark (previously, they
+	   were treated as a separate location and multiple dark rooms
+	   would create links to a single dark room)
+	 
+	 - .map save format now is smaller, as some useless data was getting
+	   saved, which we now skip.  Note, however, that when automapping
+	   .map size is bigger, as room descriptions get also stored now.
+
+	 - Fixed a minor display bug when room name would take 4 rows and
+	   objects would not fit in box.
+
+	 - Added some new (possibly incomplete) maps, that I did while
+	   testing the stuff.  All done with automapper: 
+	   Deadline, Dutch Dapper, Blue Doors, Inhumane, Not Just an
+	   Ordinary Ballerina.
+
+	 - Map resizing was always complaining about rooms being deleted.
+	   Fixed.
+
+	 - Fixed a nasty crashing bug that would happen if trying to load
+	   an IFM file with no windows open.
+
+	 - Fixed a nasty crashing bug when pasting and then immediately
+	   selecting pasted rooms, as the rooms were not added to the 
+	   pathmap.
+
+	 - Complex doors that are locked are now drawn with a crossed line
+	   along the middle.
+
+	 - Complex paths drawn as bsplines are now drawn with a tad less
+	   quality to improve drawing speed.
+
+v0.8.1 - Just some fixes to the automapper, as it was failing on some 
+	 relatively simple games.
+
+	 Automapper was not matching rooms with periods in them.  This was
+	 causing problems with games that had rooms like "Mr. Hellman's 
+	 Bedroom".
+
+	 Improved the handling of multiple directional commands.  A command
+	 like: 'n, e, w' is now handled properly.
+
+	 Moved 'fox' requires together so it is easy to upgrade to 
+	 upcoming fox14.
+
+v0.8 - Added the ability to create linked rooms using the Numeric Keypad.
+       Turn on NUM LOCK, select a single room and then use the numbers in 
+       the keypad to move thru an exit or add a room in a certain direction.
+
+       Changed name of the main program from IFMapper.rb to IFMapper.rbw.
+       This helps on windows in not bringing up a dummy console window.
+
+       Added Home/End/PageUp/PageDown to move nodes diagonally.  This
+       helps with the Keypad, when not in NUM LOCK mode.
+
+       Fixed a bug that effected IFMReader that I inadvertedly 
+       introduced in v0.7.
+
+       Removed Postscript support.  I just realized that GSview also reads
+       PDFs making Postscript really not needed.
+
+       Added splitting of huge sections into multiple pages when spitting
+       PDFs.
+
+       Fixed a bug that would result in a stack trace when loading an IFM
+       file that was pretty big onto an a very tiny empty map.
+
+       Added the ability to Automap a game from transcripts.  Go to
+       your game, type 'script' and the filename to save your transcript to.
+       Then, go to IFMapper and go to Map->Automap->Start.  Give it that
+       filename.  Voila.  IFMapper will start automapping the game.
+       Leave the transcript on and, as you play the game, IFMapper behind
+       the scenes will keep automapping.
+
+       # Added tooltip when zoomed out.
+
+v0.7 - Fix the issue of users trying to fire up the application from another
+       directory, without cd'ing themselves to the IFMapper directory.
+
+       Added IFM export.
+       Note that albeit you can load and save out an IFM map file, if you load 
+       and then save an ifm file, the integrity of the ifm file created by 
+       hand will not be kept.
+       Things such as ifm variables, task and object dependencies will be
+       lost if you do that.  It is unlikely I will add full walkthru 
+       functionality to IFMapper.
+       IFMapper's main format remains its propietary .map format (which is
+       just marshalling of its internal ruby classes).
+
+       Added a popup menu to the use of the right mouse button.  The main
+       functionality of this is to allow you to easily shift or switch
+       a connection from one room exit to another.  
+       To use it, select a single connection among rooms, then press RMB 
+       and select the room and the exit you want to shift the connection to.  
+       Voila!  Much easier than having to delete and recreate the connection.
+
+       Improved selection mechanism a tad to be more accurate.  Now you
+       can create complex connections near other complex connections, allowing
+       you to make, for example, intercrossing connections like:
+		R---R
+		|\ /|
+		| X |
+		|/ \|
+		R---R
+       This still needs some minor work as you cannot select long connections
+       near room transition areas.
+
+       Fixed a startup crashing bug when HOME variable was not defined.
+       If it is, IFMapper will use the value of it.  If not, user preferences 
+       will get saved to %USERPROFILE% if defined or %HOMEDRIVE%/%HOMEPATH%.
+       If all fails, prefs will get saved to the current directory.
+
+       Searching rooms, objects or tasks now also tries to center the window
+       on the current room being found.  The Next/Previous button now make
+       a tad more sense.  Also, rooms in other sections are not selected
+       until you move to that section using Next/Previous.
+
+       There's now an additional search item to allow searching for keywords
+       in tasks. 
+
+       You can now select all nodes or none of them from a menu option.
+
+       Zooming with mousewheel is a tad faster.
+
+       There's now some very bare bones Postscript exporting, albeit no
+       printing yet.  Printing is really a tough cookie to crack across 
+       platforms.
+
+       Fixed a minor bug regarding failed connections that could show with some
+       ifm files (mainly Zork1.ifm)
+
+       Added some more documentation and also some thank yous.
+
+       Added proper cut/copy/pasting of rooms and connections to the same
+       section, to new sections or even to different maps.  Just select the
+       rooms and connections you want to copy and do cut/copy and then paste.
+       Rooms are pasted to the first map area that has enough free nodes to
+       support them.
+
+       Made SHIFT-DRAG selection also select connections.
+
+       Updated my email.
+
+v0.6 - Fixed a crashing bug when nodes were moved too far to the right or
+       to the bottom of the map area.
+       
+       Recoded A* algorithm to fix some bugs and moved it away from FXMap
+       class, into its separate class and file.
+       
+       Added cursors for n/nw/w/sw/s/se/e/ne connections.  Note, however,
+       that the hotspot for the cursors is not working properly (this seems
+       an fxruby bug).
+       
+       Added color preferences.
+       
+       Some refactoring and documenting of code.
+       
+       PDF Export is improved.  Now map sections will be packed into a
+       page when possible.  A landscape page will be automatically chosen
+       for each section, if it helps fit the map in the page.
+       Also, pdf export will now show objects in rooms as well as 'U', 'D',
+       'I', 'O' text in exits. 
+
+       Added the ability to set the map width/height from the Map Information
+       panel.
+
+       Fixed an obscure bug when loading IFM maps that were bigger than the
+       default map size.
+
+v0.5 - First public release on Rubyforge.
