Subject: Re: Patch

There is no documentation for the changes from 4.U.3 yet. There are 2
knows problems with the patch. It's the complete unedited diff against
my current xpilot directory (except that I removed some local settings
from Local.config), so it contains some unnecessary stuff, including
the patch to change player names into ID numbers. Second, the client
doesn't work properly with -maxColors set to less than 8 when
connecting to a 4.U.4 server.

Some new features:

bugfixes (especially, the turnspeed bug should finally be fixed)

"/show" command, will show miscellaneous server data in 4.U.4,
currently only "/show queue" to show players waiting to enter works

a command to move someone to the front of the queue (currently called
"/advance", i'm not sure about the name yet) (not shown in "/help"
command list)

when playing on a 4.U.4 server (at least rubin.e.kth.se at the moment)
with a 4.U.4 client and -maxColors >=8, players on the same team
appear as green dots on the radar
