Update of /cvsroot/netrek/client/netrekxp/resources/docs
In directory sc8-pr-cvs16:/tmp/cvs-serv12425/resources/docs
Modified Files:
changes.txt netrekrc netrekrc_options.txt
Log Message:
New netrekrc options "useCheckPlanets: (on)/off" and "useGeneric32:
(on)/off" to control whether to use the CHECK_PLANETS or
SP_GENERIC_32 feature packets.
Added improved explanation to netrekrc for the bandwidth costs of using the
4 new(ish) feature packets which actually increase bandwidth use.
Fixed bug with netrek.geometry not saving properly due to passing a null
string.
