- 10th September 2000
- The dopewars project, previously hosted solely at
http://bellatrix.pcl.ox.ac.uk/~ben/dopewars/ now has an additional home at
SourceForge! This is
to allow developers easier access to development codes (by CVS) and to take
advantage of SourceForge's mailing lists and forums. Translators are
particularly needed for translation of the
development version of the dopewars code
into other languages!
- 2nd August 2000
- The German translation now has its home
here. This site also mirrors the
original English version of the program.
- 28th July 2000

of dopewars is now available.

interface - new servers now report game data, such as current number of players
and high scores, to the metaserver. Several bugs, mainly in the Win32
networking code, have been fixed.
- 2nd July 2000
- A mirror in the US is now available for dopewars downloads. Follow the US
links (as opposed to the UK links) on the
download page to download from this site.
- 14th January 2000
- dopewars 1.4.7 released. This now uses autoconf to build on a variety
of "odd" Unices, and also "out of the box" under Cygwin (Win32). Servers for
which the IP is incorrectly resolved by the metaserver can now set a
preferred hostname with the "MetaServer.LocalName" variable.
- 31st Decemeber 1999
- The Polish version of dopewars has moved
here.
- 12th November 1999

now also available on the popular Windows platform. A Win32 binary can be
downloaded from the download page.
- 8th November 1999
- A translation of the dopewars pages and dopewars client software into
Polish is now available at
http://naboo.mtl.pl/~dopewars/.
- 21st October 1999
- dopewars 1.4.5 released. Client players can now be instructed to connect
to the metaserver, to present a "nice" list of available servers for the user
to select from; more configuration options; metaserver almost works with
web proxies now.
- 11th October 1999
- Snapshots of the latest in-development version of dopewars are now
made available on a semi-regular basis at the main
download page. HTML documentation is also
now available.
- 16th September 1999
- dopewars 1.4.4 released. This handles connection to the new metaserver
automatically, so that the list of dopewars servers can be easily kept up
to date. Other minor changes fix small bugs from earlier versions.
- 15th September 1999
- Servers can now be registered by completing
this form. The upcoming version 1.4.4 of dopewars will be able to
handle the connection to the web and the completion of registration details
automatically.
- 23rd June 1999
- dopewars 1.4.3 released. This adds many new features (while hopefully not
adding any new bugs) such as much better fight handling, and the ability to
customise dopewars servers and clients.
- 16th May 1999
- dopewars 1.4.2 released. This version fixes numerous minor bugs and makes
many small improvements - most noticeable is the support for AI players in
multiplayer games (dopewars -c).
- 28th April 1999
- Interim release of dopewars 1.4.1b, which fixes a segfault problem
with the server.
- 28th April 1999
- Interim release of dopewars 1.4.1a, which corrects a few minor bugs in
"antique" mode.
- 27th April 1999
- dopewars 1.4.1 released. This fixes a bug with the loan shark, which
was discovered by several people quick off the mark; dunno how that slipped
past my team of beta testers here at Oxford - they're obviously too busy
doing "real" work!
- 27th April 1999
- First GPL release of dopewars (1.4.0)
