This version corrects some minor problems with 8.2b, and adds TCP Wrappers support to conquestd and conqmetad. It also adds the ability to zoom in/out when playing back a recorded game, just like when playing the game itself.

  Barring some major problems (or minor adjustments), this could be an
  8.3 release in a few weeks.

From the HISTORY file:

8.2c (devel) 07/08/2007

  - bug report from Adam Sampson: 'make install' should not
    chgrp/chmod $(DESTDIR)$(CONQSYSCONFDIR)/*rc . Depending on where
    $(DESTDIR)$(CONQSYSCONFDIR) actually is (say, /etc) this can cause
    'issues' :)

  - fix bug whereby statistics data (ALT-S) in conquestgl (FPS, ping
    RTT, bandwidth, etc) would not be shown unless althud was also
    enabled.

  - clear all of the message/prompt lines when initting the CP node.
    If you self-destructed for example, then re-entered, you could
    still see the destruct confirmation message in the prompt area.

  - add the ability to zoom in/out during playback of a previously
    recorded game.

  - fix issue where in SR scan, but zoomed all the way out, you could
    see ships that you can't really see.

  - when quitting from the main menu, or in the CP via ^\ , stop all
    music and FX channels before leaving to avoid stuttering audio.

  - added warp2 (background warp) textures from Cat (with some slight
    changes).

  - add tcp wrappers support to conquestd and conqmetad - not compiled
    in by default.  You can enable by specifying
    '--enable-tcpwrappers' to the configure command line.  You will
    need to have tcpd.h and libwrap installed.  The daemon name (for
    your system hosts.allow file) is 'conquestd' and 'conqmetad'
    respectively.
