What's New in This Release:

· htsserver now requires Glib 1.3.2 or better.
· Rewrite of the networking code, the logging code, configfile support, the string parsing routine and much more.
· We use htsprotocol 0.4.6 now. There were several changes in the protocol. See docs/PROTOCOL for details.

· Removed the 'defaultgame' option and the commandline options --gamename and --creategame.
