Version 0.62 - released July 2018
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# New Features

* Completely out of source builds are now supported on all platforms
* FHS style file layout (separate bin and share/corsixth directories) support
for Linux (and non-Apple Unixes)
* On Linux (and other non-Apple Unixes) the CorsixTH executable is now called
corsix-th
* LuaJIT 2.x is now supported, if using LuaJIT 1.x JIT is no longer enabled
* Meandering staff behaviour has been tweaked to look more natural
# Bug Fixes
* Hoppalong map in the included campaign was fixed to not crash

* VIP and other game event scheduling fixes
* VIP now works correctly when the hospital has no functional rooms
* Heat now spreads out from radiators in all directions again
* Fix for game error that caused the same litter to be cleaned up twice, and
resulted in a crash
* Fix moving machines with no state
* All known memory leaks caused by our code have been fixed
* Many text and formatting improvements across languages
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 0.61 - released December 2017
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Mouse capture support. Now by default the mouse will be captured in its
window. You can use CTRL-F10 to temporarily toggle the mouse capture state,
or disable it in the config file.
* Added multigesture movement and zoom for supported devices.
* Fix for broken pathfinding involving the removal of side objects such as
benches and radiators.
* Allow objects to be built on top of litter and rat holes.
* Fix for game error when handymen attempted to clean removed litter.
* Can now click and hold to quickly change handyman priorities.

make use of the bottom panel.
* Fixed several bugs relating to the mood displays for staff and patients.
* Rooms can now be built over top of trash.
* Rat holes will now appear in dirty hospitals. Unfortunately the rats
themselves are still hiding away.
* Earthquakes now behave more like in Theme Hospital. A warning earthquake that
does no damage will come first so that you can get ready for the big one. The
damage calculations and visual effect have also been redone to be closer to
the original game.
* The game window can now be resized by dragging the edges.
* We now avoid overlapping graph labels so all labels are readable.
* Many many many bug fixes.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 0.60 - released May 2016
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--- Highlights from this release ---
* User campaigns - It is now possible to create a series of levels that play
together just like the original game.
* In game map editor - A new map editor is available directly from the game
menu.
* Drug price impact - Patients will now react to the price you set for
treatments. If treatments cost too much patients will opt to go home instead
and this can affect your reputation.
* Variable spawn rate - The spawn rate will now take into account your
hospital's reputation (after a date set in the level file.)
* Machine smoke is now visible when machines are close to worn out.
* Right clicking the timer is now supported like in the original game for
moving to affected patients - See issue #882 for details.
* Numpad support - The number pad can now be used to move around the map when
numlock is off, or to type numbers when numlock is on, without side effects.
* The MP3 folder can now be unset from within the game. Previously after
setting an mp3 folder it could only be removed by editing the config file by
hand.
* Uses the proper cursor for resizing rooms.
* Bins can now be placed in the hallways.
* Temperature impact has been tweaked. The initial grace period has been
removed and the overall impact has been softened.
* Custom maps can now be stored in a user directory separate from levels
shipped with the game.
--- Notable bug fixes ---
* Free build mode is now truly free - rooms used to cost money in this mode.
* In game movies will now work correctly on more hardware.
* Sound effects are no longer played when sound is disabled.
* VIP rewards have been tweaked to closer match expectations when the
impression is mediocre.
* Crash when a patient is selected while they walk off the map is fixed.
* A room built next to an unowned parcel no longer loses its wall when the
parcel is bought.
* Beta 1 regression that caused fired staff to continue to be paid has been
patched.
* Beta 1 regression that caused the last cured emergency patient not to count
has been patched.
* King complex patients only pay for their cure once.
* Patients will notice when a room they are waiting for becomes available.
* Properly load saves with more than one object on a tile.
* Do not get stuck in an infinite loop when no disease is available to spawn.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 0.50 - released July 2015
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The majority of changes in this update have been done under the hood.
Most of our third-party libraries have been updated, and especially Windows
users will notice that there is now only one executable after installation.
No more "which one should I use if I want zoom?"!
--- Gameplay ---
* Fix: Crash when trying to play certain sounds from e.g. the French version.
* Fix: Potential crash from Esc-press before main menu.
* Fix: Patients could in some circumstances get really confused and try to exit
a room without putting any clothes on.
* Added: Configuration of scroll speed.
* Change: Midi tracks will be played in the order they appear in MIDI.txt
* Most languages have been updated.
--- Movies ---
* Fix: Audio stutter in certain movies.
* Fix: The game could sometimes crash when a movie had finished.
* Support for LibAV as an alternative to FFMpeg.
--- Animation Viewer ---
* Added: A vertical scroll bar to the sprite display.
--- CorsixTH development ---
* We have moved to newer versions of a lot of libraries, most notably
SDL 1.2 -> SDL 2 and added support for Lua 5.2 and Lua 5.3.
* New ready-to-use Eclipse Workspace.
* Debugging Lua code using DBGp has been added. See
the Wiki for more information.
* The Windows Installer now uses NSIS 3.0 and only produces one executable
since SDL 2 handles renderer itself.
* Framework for Busted Unit Tests in Lua.
* Support for custom graphics has been improved.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 0.40 - released December 2014
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It has been a while since our last release, but good things come to those who wait!
Or... in this case it's contagious diseases. Watch out for epidemics on the
later levels in the campaign! Your patients are not as good as they used to be
either, so those who are not lucky enough to get vaccinated and cured might
get a visit from the Grim Reaper.
Also, don't forget to try out the new map St. Peter's near Cawley!
Happy gaming!
--- Gameplay ---
* Added: Epidemics. You can either choose to pay a fine to the authorities or
try to cover up the epidemic by vaccinating and curing the contagious patients.
Patients going between buildings will NOT trigger the alarm to the authorities.
* Added: The Grim Reaper. Previously patients have always gone to heaven when
they die. No more! Sometimes they will instead fall down to the middle of the
earth in a Lava Hole.
* Added: People with visual diseases will no longer arrive at the beginning of
the level if that has been specified in the level file. Instead they arrive
once a certain amount of months have passed.
* Added: If you refuse VIP visits a few times he can sometimes show up anyway.
* Change: Machine usage and explosions are now based on absolute number of uses.
A machine that goes down to 0 will explode. Previously they were percentage based.
* Fix: The game would crash if you sacked a doctor in a room while a patient
was using some equipment in that room.
* Fix: Sometimes the emergency bonus was not correctly calculated.
* Fix: Patients could die inside a room. They will now die outside the room
unless they are just being cured.
* Fix: If winning the level at end of year the annual report would hide the
winning fax.
* Fix: If there was no queue to a room a leaving staff member would not trigger
a call for staff for the patient who had to abort their procedure in that room.
* Fix: If a handyman had pending tasks when he died in an exploding room the game
could crash.
* Fix: A surgeon that is removed in mid-operation will now get properly replaced
by a new one.
* Fix: If the GP room was built too early in the tutorial the game would crash

Version 0.30 - released November 2013
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This release contains a whole new Level Editor, which means that in combination
with the already existing Map Editor whole levels can now be created a lot
easier. Give it a try! We have also added many new options previously only
available by manually editing the config file to the options dialog.
Players will also notice that we have added an automatic update
check on game launch once we release the version after this one.
As usual there are of course also numerous minor tweaks here and there.
--- Gameplay ---
* Change: You can now build more than one desk in the ward. More nurses means
a slightly faster throughput.
* Change: Patients would previously queue outside toilets even though there were
free loos since it was dependent on number of people in the room. Now, as soon
as a loo becomes free another patient enters the room to use it,
even if there is a long queue for the sink).
If there is a queue for the sinks there is a chance the patient will leave
without washing their hands - but will not be happy about doing this.
* Added: The ability to control alien behaviour - sitting, knocking doors,
only to be available through emergency or arrive like all other patients.
* Added: Winning fax opens automatically and pauses the game.
* Added: Option to automatically accept wage increase requests when they "time out".
* Added: A new option allows for your average build content for each type of room
to be remembered, so will be added for each new room built later.
* Fix: Doctors should get stuck less often, and handymen should not crash the
game as frequently.
* Fix: It was not possible to replace a surgeon when a patient was in the room.
* Fix: Patients would sometimes get stuck inside a room when they should
have died.
--- User Interface ---
* Added: A new customization menu in the Options dialog. Most options from the
configuration file are now available for change in-game.
* Added: A new directory menu in the Options dialog.
* Added: The game does now check for a more recent version of itself when
launching.
* Added: A helpful message when the player puts more Researchers in the
research department than there are desks.
* Added: The game now does a small integrity check on the Theme Hospital
files to make sure that the most common corruptions are not present.
* Added: Confirm dialog to the quit/exit button on the main menu.
* Fix: The tooltip for the tutorial button was incorrect since the dialog
has been visually changed.
* Fix: The announcer has had a few corrections made to his manuscripts.
He is very happy about this!
* Removed: The settings menu is no longer available from within the game.
--- Hotkeys ---
Some hotkeys have been changed and/or added:
* Alt + A = Toggle Announcements
* Alt + M = Toggle Music
* Alt + S = Toggle Sound Effects
* Shift and + to zoom in five steps and Shift and - to zoom out five steps at a time.
--- Campaign levels ---
* Fix: An error in level 8 made it possible to win without meeting the
reputation criterion.
--- Custom levels ---
* Change: For random emergencies each illness now has its own average number of
patients to spawn. Previously they were all the same.
* Fix: Researching improvements was not really possible on some custom levels,
i.e. if the map creator had made it so there were no machines at the start.
--- Demo files ---
* Fix: When winning the demo level CorsixTH looked for another level to load,
showing the wrong fax options and eventually crashing.
--- Languages ---
* Added: Korean language.
* Fix: It was not possible to dump strings for a language with unicode
characters in the name.
--- Compiling ---
* Fix: You could not compile the game with WITH_AUDIO=0 if SDL_mixer was
not present at all.
* Fix: WITH_AUDIO=OFF is now illegal in combination with WITH_MOVIES=ON.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 0.21 - released 2013-05-04
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is mainly a bugfix release, but a few minor features are still also
introduced, see the changelog below.
--- Gameplay ---
* Fix: Staff would sometimes not go for a break.
* Fix: A few crashes related to Handymen.
* Fix: An error could occur if a fax message was removed just as it was animating
into view.

resulting in a crash.
* Fix: If a queueing patient was heading for a drinks machine just as the player
moved that machine the game would crash.
--- User Interface ---
* Added: Scrolling momentum when using the middle button.
* Added: There is now a clock in the right corner of the menu bar that
shows the real world time. It can be toggled between AM/PM and 24h
in the configuration file.
--- Hotkeys ---
* Added: Hotkeys for the Jukebox (J), Save game menu (Shift + S),
Load game menu (Shift + L), to restart the level (Shift + R) and finally
quit the current game and take you back to the opening screen (Shift + Q).

* Change: Toggle adviser is now Shift + A instead of only A.

* Change: Alt + F4 is now the hotkey to quit CorsixTH.
* Fix: Added a configuration option to have the possibility to use Shift + C
as hotkey to open the Drug casebook instead of C. This is to workaround

the Drug casebook would open.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For a complete list, visit the issue tracker:
http://code.google.com/p/corsix-th/issues/list
--- Gameplay ---
* Added: Radiators and other "edge tile" objects now occupy just one edge of
the tile, inline with the original game. As a result one tile corridors can
now be heated properly. An addition is that you can place many such objects
on a single tile as long as they face different directions.
* Added: Possibility to play movies in-game. At the moment the intro movie,
advancement between levels and the win/lose movies has been added.
* Added: The atom analyzer can now be built in the research department if it
is available on the map.
* Added: User actions are no longer allowed by default (for new games) when
the game is paused. When trying this it might seem like it doesn't work
correctly, but we try to mimic the original as much as possible. This for
example means that a staff member being placed as you pause will disappear
from the cursor. We might change this behaviour in the future though.
* Added: Some background sounds, coughs, phones ringing etc.
* Change: Placing a member of staff inside a room that is already occupied
will now replace that person.
* Fix: Earthquakes could be four times as severe as intended. Still todo:

desks.
* Fix: Patients being handled at a reception desk even if no receptionist
is present.
* Fix: Allow patients to be sent to the research room only if the corresponding
room is not yet researched (so not if it is researched but not built).
* Fix: Don't cancel a place staff action just because the player happens to
click on a door.
* Fix: The VIP would try to sit down if there was a queue for the reception desk.
The VIP will no longer ever try to sit down, and he will have priority in
the queue anyway.
* Fix: If a member of staff was done resting at the same time as he/she was
also finished using the pool table or the video game another object in the
room could get reserved indefinitely.
--- User Interface ---
* Added: You can now see in the bank statement which drug company a certain
drug was bought from. It has no effect on gameplay though.
* Added: The adviser now tells you why the research screen can't be opened
before you have built a research department.
* Added: The Town Map functionality has been extended inline with Theme
Hospital. For example, if you right-click somewhere in your hospital the
view will be moved there.
* Added: Available options on open faxes now gets updated if for example a room
explodes or the player builds a research department.

same as in original TH but instead correspond to the order on the bottom panel.

* Added: Player name is now customizable in the new game dialog.
* Removed: Keyboard shortcuts F8 and F9 for debug fax and debug patients.

a category has been completely researched.

diagnosed.
* Change: Buttons on the bottom panel for fullscreen windows are now
toggle buttons.
* Change: Reordered entries of graphs menu to correspond with order in
bottom panel.
* Fix: Colour selection algorithm for freetype fonts resulted in unreadable text
on faxes for some languages.
* Fix: When an unanswered fax became meaningless (e.g. if you built the
required room), it was only removed if its message button was visible at the
bottom panel (not if it was queued because of 5 buttons being there already).
* Fix: Update the drug casebook if the last room of one kind explodes.
* Fix: The directory browser was not always shown if the chosen Theme Hospital
install directory was illegal.
* Fix: Settings changed in the game will be saved immediately so that they
persist to the next session regardless of how the game is shut down.
* Fix: The bottom panel is no longer always on top, making fullscreen
dialogs truly fullscreen on 640x480.
* Fix: Don't play any announcements if there is no receptionist to do it.
* Fix: The adviser would not idle again if a new message arrived as he was
idling from a previous message.
* Fix: While a player viewed the confirm dialog to delete a room he/she could
continue to edit the room and complete it again resulting in an inconsistent
game state.
--- Graphics ---
* Added: The graph dialog now actually displays graphs and statistics information.
* Added: It is now possible to choose among three colour scales for warmth
level. Look in the top menu for this choice.

fiddling in a lua file.
--- Translations ---

* Change: The "utf8" prefix has been obsolete for some time and has been
removed from all language files.
--- When using Demo files ---

dialog by clicking on a staff portrait in the staff dialog.
