Crossfire 1.8.0 Announcement

Crossfire 1.8.0 has been released. There are lots of more minor changes. List of more major changes:
Start of quest tracking system
Better support of readable objects.
Addition of party spells.
Improved smooth sending code for client.
Map region support.

Client 1.8.0 Changes:
Many bugfixes.
Advanced readable object support in client.
Addition of pure GTKv2 client, including SDL and OpenGL drawing modes. Note this client should be fine for playing, but does not have all the features of the gtk client right now.

Only the bigworld maps are up on sourceforge - this is the only mapset under active development - the old smallworld maps are still in CVS, and older versions still available for download.

crossfire-1.8.0.tar.gz contains the server code with prebuilt archetype and image files.

crossfire-client-1.8.0.tar.gz contains the client code - if you only want to play, this is the only piece you need.

crossfire-1.8.0.arch.tar.gz contains the unpacked archetype changes. This is not needed if you only want to compile the server and play the game. Various fixes, as well as new archetypes.

crossfire-1.8.0.maps.tar.gz contains the map distribution - this is the bigworld map. New maps have been added, as well as verious fixes.

FOR FIRST TIME USERS: You will only need the appropriate server, the map file and client file. You do not need the arch file. You may wish to get a copy of the doc file.

If you just want to play the game at some remote server, you need the client and perhaps the image archive file (older image file is still good enough).

Crossfire is avaible on the following ftp sites

Primary:
ftp://ftp.sourceforge.net/pub/sourceforge/crossfire

Secondary:
ftp://ftp.real-time.com/pub/games/crossfire

The initial upload of this release is only made to sourceforge - it should show up on the mirrors shortly.
