Early bug fix details

[Nicollo Rising]

Friends

I have done some searching but failed to find a listing of all the additional features and bug fixes from the first patch onwards. I have got the 1.21f details but none from the mists of time.

Can anyone point me the the right direction?

[Todd Hawks]

It's all in the README for patch 1.21. But since you may want to know before downloading, i'll post it here:
