+- Codechange: Truncate text in window captions to prevent overflow (r7058)
+- Codechange: Allow standard ini-file style comments (;) (r6972)
+- Codechange: Send server messages with format NETWORK_ACTION_SERVER_MESSAGE so it is general colour like the rest of the server messages. Spectators speak in grey (r6932)

+- Codechange: Remove the "unsorted" vehicle sorter, because it's plain useless (r6270)

+- Codechange: Allow a switch in Makefile.config to disable threads in OpenTTD (r5978)
+- Codechange: [win32] Add native x64 target to VS2005 project files (r5813)
+- Codechange: [win32]The exception dialog showed the last modification-date of win32.c instead of the last compilation-date (r5801)

+- Fix: With realistic acceleration, guarantee a minimum braking force is applied. This ensures trains will stop when going down hill (r7425)
+- Fix: Changed "kick off" acceleration resulted in only a small amount of power being applied; this resulted in a perceived delay before trains moved. (r7421)
+- Fix: Long delay for message windows to appear. Immediately show a new message if present if no news window is open, or has just been closed instead of waiting for the timer of the current news to time out [FS#255] (r7402)
+- Fix: Deleting Train in depot with autoreplace fails [FS#418] (r7385)

+- Fix: Segmentation fault in the SDL video driver when one goes to fullscreen and there are no suitable resolutions (r7332)

+- Fix: Always display the excavation of roadworks even when fully zoomed out or "full details" are off (r7240)

+- Fix: Callback not executed for non-player based patch changes in multiplayer for all clients; possible desync issue (r7190)

+- Fix: MiniMap was misplacing vehicles sometimes [FS#402] (r7166)
+- Fix: Some mouse events possibly lost under high CPU load, handle mouse input right away instead of waiting for GameLoop. [FS#221, SF1168820] (r7157)
+- Fix: Some keyboard events possibly lost under high CPU load, handle keyboard input in place instead of global variables magic. [FS#279] (r7153)

+- Fix: Synchronize the engine-renew settings of a player when joining a multiplayer game (r7126)

+- Fix: Do not let ships enter partial water tiles under bridges; they will travel up land... (r7110)
+- Fix: AI tried to build road from the back or side of road stop/depot (r7069)
+- Fix: Zooming out near map-borders would previously fail because the new centre would be outside the map [FS#317] (r7047)
+- Fix: 'Goto' button in orders window got depressed along with all other buttons when an existing order was modified [FS#311] (r7046)
+- Fix: Scenario bridges/tunnels cannot be demolished [FS#200] (r7028)

+- Fix: Crash at game end when server company is bankrupt [FS#369] (r7008)
+- Fix: List of actions panel in the town authority window went underneath its scrollbar (r6885)
+- Fix: Pressing ^D (EOF) at a dedicated console caused it to repeat the last command, instead of doing nothing (r6835)
+- Fix: Don't add up running cost of articulated engine parts (r6765)
+- Fix: If a rail is not available, don't show toolbar even with hotkey 'A' (r6740)

+- Fix: Reset the location of the last sound as that location can be outside the map when you are loading another, (smaller) map (r6437)
+- Fix: Show an error message when executing 'scrollto x' with x < 0 or >= MapSize() instead of asserting later on [FS#340] (r6435)
+- Fix: Station catchment area persists after switching tools [FS#136] (r6368)
+- Fix: Do not reset the current cursor action when centering on a depot/hangar (r6360)
+- Fix: Go to hangar orders for aircraft could get spuriously removed when a road or rail depot got deleted (r6355)
+- Fix: Due to some off-by-one errors the width or height of a clipping rectangle could become 0, which isn't sensible. This should fix a very rare and hard to trigger assertion in GfxFillRect() (r6351)
+- Fix: Never allow scrolling the map in the main menu (scroll-settings weren't reset if switched to mainmenu) (r6037)
+- Fix: Never set I-am-a-thread bool to true IN the thread, dual-core machines could flip [FS#78] (r5977)
