Game version 0.95.111 released

Russian language related changes.

Many labels have been extracted from the original version in addition to Kirill Grigoriev's diligent work in translating the new labels.

Note that due the automated nature of the extraction, labels might be off.

Launcher version 0.40 released

Notable changes:

• Added support for Russian version.

Game version 0.95.110 released

Notable changes

• Russian language support. Russian audio has been integrated, although some of them might not be properly synchronized to the videos.
• Fixed some missing labels across languages.

Game version 0.95.109 released

Notable changes:

• The Skirmish / Galaxy screen features an extra field where you can set up the maximum technology level. This was formerly the only level settings. The current initial tech level now specifies the availability of technologies right from the start. For example, setting the first value to 3 will make everything up to level 3 available for production or construction. The scale goes from 0 to 6, where 0 means there could be level 1 researches to be done. (Issue #683)
• Replaced the French audio and video files with the proper versions, however, they could be still incorreclty timed.

Game version 0.95.047 released

I have released a new version of the game: 0.95.047.

The changes focus on the french language support related changes, a quick fix for a crash and mission no-progression bug (Issue #644).

The next feature will be the implementation of the Skirmish screen. You can find some ideas about it in Issue #638.

Launcher 0.37 released

Now that we want to support French language, the Launcher had to be updated in order to manage a long awaited scenario: selecting the languages you want to install and maintain.

When you install the game the first time, the following dialog will be presented to you:

If you have the game installed already, you can manage the installed language packages via the Other options  > Select language packs... menu item:

In this case, the dialog receives two additional options:

• You can start the installation of new packages once you click "OK". If you did not check this option, you can run the Verify installation command, which will take care of the now missing files.
• You can ask the launcher to remove unnecessary language files, freeing some disk space.

The package sizes and total amount of download is displayed for your convenience.

The final convenience feature is the ability to force-repair the Launcher itself. Just click on the Repair Launcher menu option.
