openBVE v1.7.0.3

Another small patch release (sorry!), updating one language file and the dependencies for the Debian package, solving an issue on systems which did not have mono-complete installed.

Please also note that this bumps the minimum Mono version required for Debian to 5.20- This is available in the current stable and newer by default.
Alternatively, Mono provide their own repository for all currently supported Debian / Ubuntu versions.

Changes:

• Update zh-CN language- Thanks zbx1425!
• Update package dependancies for Debian.

openBVE v.1.7.0.2

Significant Changes:

• New: Add Indonesian language- Thanks Nakano Satori!
• Fix: PowerFullAxis not working correctly.

openBVE v.1.7.0.1

Significant Changes:

• Change: Improve the handling of the PassAlarm when jumping between stations.
• Fix: Potential crash in file checksum function.
• Fix: Issue with TrackFollowingObjects introduced with 1.7.0.0
• Fix: Power delay down value incorrect for notches with no specific value set.

openBVE v.1.7.0.0

OpenBVE v1.7.0.0 is a much larger release, although much of this comes in the form of internal changes.
A large amount of work has been done to convert the Object parsers into a single set of shared plugins, as well as moving most graphical and audio code into shared libraries.

A new (experimental) tool has also been added, courtesy of S520- TrainEditor2.
This allows the complete properties for a train to be edited within a single program.

Finally, a note on MacOS Catalina compatibility-
Unfortunately, Apple have made the decision to drop 32-bit compatibility. At present, OpenBVE relies on several 32-bit libraries and so is currently incompatible.
Please see the following issue for more details: #384

openBVE v.1.5.4.1

Notes:

This build introduces alternate parser options for X and OBJ files.
These are as follows:

X:

• Original - Michelle's original parser.
• NewXParser - New scratch-written code.
• Assimp - A C# port of the Assimp library ( https://github.com/assimp/assimp , a modified version of BSD-3 applies to this)

The default X parser will now be set to the NewXParser.

OBJ:

• Original
• Assimp - Assimp - A C# port of the Assimp library ( https://github.com/assimp/assimp , a modified version of BSD-3 applies to this)

The default Obj parser will now be set to the original OBJ parser.

If loading using any of the new parsers fails, the original parsers will be automatically tried as fallback options.
A routefile command to control the X parser used is also available:

Options.XParser
This may be set to the following: 0 : Original 1 : NewXParser 2 : Assimp
