 == Introduction ==
-Welcome to the FIFE 2008.0 README. This snapshot is based on SVN revision 2109.
+Welcome to the FIFE 2008.1 README. This snapshot is based on SVN revision !FIXME.
 
 == Theme of this release ==
-For the 2008.0 release we decided to pick up the island_demo concept again. Right: again. We already used this concept for the 2007.1 release but we put it on ice as we worked together with the Zero-Projekt developers on a different example game for the 2007.2 release. The cooperation didn't work out as planned for either side and so both teams stick to their own projects again now.
+For the 2008.1 release we decided to flesh out the tropical island concept and called our example game "Rio de hola".
 
-After the cooperation has ended we considered all possible options and finally decided to flesh out the old island_demo concept and base our future example game upon it. Although we were able to finish the initial planning work for the new island_demo game some days ago, there is almost none of the new planned content in place yet. On the other side the engine itself and the editor tool that ships with it now made _huge_ steps forward since the last release about 4 months ago. Therefore we decided to release the current status as stable release although it offers not many new aspects on the content side and the content that is in place is very likely to change with the 2008.1 release.
+Caution: this release is still lacking a lot of polish, especially the "Rio de hola" game that ships with it. It lacks almost any form of gameplay but there is a reason why we decided to ship the release in its current form nevertheless. We planned to ship future FIFE releases under the LGPL to offer a less "restrictive" license to possible FIFE users (we know that the term "restrictive" is just our personal point of view).
 
-The milestone itself seems to be a very important step into the right direction. You can build your own maps now with the help of the editor tool. Furthermore a basic application structure is in place that should give you an idea how can create your own FIFE-based game. We'll surely adjust the structure of the island_demo client over the next months but this release is stable enough to start working on your game now.
+We had to clear up the legal situation first and fortunately the software freedom law center (http://www.softwarefreedom.org/) helped us with the transition. The agreement of all developers who contributed code that was still used in FIFE was needed and because over two dozens of people contributed code to the project, this took us a lot of time. We were not able to reach all of them so we decided to remove the code of the contributors who didn't reply to our license switch proposal mails.
 
-This release is surely not the beginning of the end of the road for us, but it's the end of beginning for the FIFE development team. Enjoy it as we do :-) 
+We were able to replace the last problematic code today so now FIFE is official LGPL'ed software. We're glad that we were able to make this step after it took us so long and we think that the new license alone is worth a release. Therefore we're proud to finally present the first FIFE release that is published under LGPL 2.1 or newer (your choice).
 
-== Important changes since the 2007.2 release ==
-* New audio module with support for some more advanced audio features.
-* Optimized view code to improve the performance and resolve map instance z-order issues.
-* Switched back to island_demo concept; this will be the example game that ships with future FIFE releases as well.
-* Ability to save maps
-* Routing pathfinding (previous release only had linear pather)
-* Pluggable rendering system. Several new plugins including:
-** Floating text renderer for map instances.
-** Blocking info renderer to show instance blocking info
-** Cell selection renderer for selection highlighting
-** Coordinate renderer for cellgrids
-** Quadtree renderer to show quadtree debug information
-* New editor tool, which can be used to layout maps
-* XML-format improvements: stack position, z-position, camera definitions, animation x/y offsets
-* Vastly improved pychan extension; XML based GUI definitions
-* Quadtree adjustments
-* Ability to define own settings formats and interpret them from scripts
-* Ability to attach cameras to instances (so that they are tracked while they move)
-* Separate x/y scaling for cellgrids, allows more flexible geometry definitions (e.g. rectangle)
-* Basic mouse map instance picking.
-* Editor tool (still work in progress).
-* Improved engine-script exception reporting
-* Mouse cursors can be changed from scripts
+Engine and the editor tool made _huge_ steps forward since the last release about 5 months ago. Therefore we decided to release the current status as stable release although it offers not many new aspects on the content side and the content that is in place is very likely to change with the 2008.2 release.

-Few non-code related changes
-* Rough task list for the whole island demo has now been created:

-* Vastly improved documentation with nightly updates:
-** Core: http://fifedocs.boxbox.org//doxygen/
-** Scripts: http://fifedocs.boxbox.org//epydoc/
-* Lots of new content gathered and created for island demo 
-** E.g. agent definitions, clouds graphics, music...

 === General notes ===
 FIFE utilizes the SCons (http://www.scons.org) build system. Here is a quick list of scons commands that can be important for building FIFE on your platform:
-* 'scons ext=1' will build the FIFE dependencies Guichan (http://guichan.sourceforge.net/) and minizip (http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll/minizip.html) from bundled source. Use this if you do not have these libraries, or have the wrong version.
+* 'scons ext=1' will build specific FIFE dependencies that usually don't reside in the most important Linux package managers from source.
 * 'scons -h' will list additional compile options.
 * 'scons' will build FIFE.
-* 'scons tests=1' will build FIFE and the boost unit tests (needed for test_fife.py).
+* 'scons tests=1' will build FIFE and the unittests (needed for test_fife.py).
 * 'scons -c' clears any compiled objects (= scons equivalent of 'make clean').

-
-What works:
-==========================
-Have a look here:
-http://wiki.fifengine.de/index.php?title=Engine_features
-
-What does not work:
-==========================
-* A lot, basically everything that is not listed at the wiki page that is linked above.
-
-Custom settings
-===========================
-* FIFE uses a file called "fife.config" to give the user control about some engine aspects
-* The file should be self-explanatory
-
-Working with Fallout 1 maps:
-==========================
-In Windows:
-* Copy the "master.dat" & "critter.dat" from your Fallout 1 install to your FIFE install directory
-* Edit the FIFE.bat to launch FIFE via: guimap_test.exe content/scripts/demos/load_fo1_maps.lua
-
-In Linux:
-* Copy (or link) the "master.dat" & "critter.dat" from your Fallout 1 install to the directory containing guimap_test
-* Launch FIFE via ./guimap_test content/scripts/demos/load_fo1_maps.lua
-
-Working with Fallout 2 maps:
-==========================
-In Windows:
-* Copy the "master.dat" & "critter.dat" from your Fallout 2 install to your FIFE install directory
-* Edit the FIFE.bat to launch FIFE via: guimap_test.exe content/scripts/demos/load_fo2_maps.lua
-
-In Linux:
-* Copy (or link) the "master.dat" & "critter.dat" from your Fallout 2 install to the directory containing guimap_test
-* Launch FIFE via ./guimap_test content/scripts/demos/load_fo2_maps.lua
-
-Working with custom (XML) maps:
-==========================
-FIFE supports a stable own map format now so you can test the engine without having one of the Fallout games installed. You can add custom XML or Fallout maps to the list by editing /FIFE_dir/content/etc/maps_custom_players.txt (maps_custom_developers.txt if you start FIFE the developer lua script).
-
-In Windows:
-* Edit the FIFE.bat to launch FIFE via: guimap_test.exe content/scripts/demos/load_custom_maps_players.lua
-
-In Linux:
-* Launch FIFE via ./guimap_test content/scripts/demos/load_custom_maps_players.lua
-
-Hint: the current demo map is "official_map.xml". The other maps in the list are slightly outdated and seem to share some markup issues. Therefore we advise to stick to the official demo map and our map format guide at the wiki if you plan to build custom maps for FIFE:
-http://wiki.fifengine.de/index.php?title=Map_Format
-
-Loading maps via the maploader interface:
-==========================
-Make sure that you've launched FIFE via "guimap_test.exe content/scripts/demos/load_custom_maps_players.lua" (Win32) / "./guimap_test content/scripts/demos/load_custom_maps_players.lua" (Linux). Select the map you want to view from the dropdown menu and load it. Take screenshots (via F12) or do whatever you want. If you want to load the new map press F10, and click on the "Tools" button in the console. You can load another map via the maploader interface now.
-
-Sound troubles:
-==========================
-In Windows:
-If you don't hear the "Maybe" song when you launch FIFE, you should install an updated OpenAL driver to resolve this issue. Simply execute the OpenALwEAX.exe that's inside your FIFE folder. Please report back at the fifengine.de forums if installing this updated driver did _NOT_ fix the sound problems for you.

-* Les coordonnées des "tiles" et des objets peuvent être affichées (touche "c")
-* Clé couleur d'override pour les effets de transparence de Fallout (voir content/gfx/fallout_overrides.xml)
-* Probème du décodage du code DAT1 réglé (le bug a été introduit avec la réécriture du DAT1)
-* La plupart des classes de modèle de carte ont été exportées dans Lua et sont accessibles via la console
-* Taille de la carte variable, géométries configurables 
-* Clés de couleurs pour les rendus SDL
-* Ajouts de sources VFS customisées via vfs.addSource (voir content/etc/vfs_sources.txt)
-* Vitesse de démarrage améliorée avec les fichiers DAT de Fallout 2
-* Caméra améliorée avec possibilité de ports de vision multiples (voir content/scripts/demos/map_control.lua)
-* Construit maintenant avec SDL_image 1.2.5 et guichan 0.61  (binaires Win32)

-
-Ce qui marche :
-==========================
-Allez voir ici:
-http://wiki.fifengine.de/index.php?title=Engine_features
-
-Ce qui ne marche pas:
-==========================
-* Beaucoup de choses, à peu près tout ce qui n'est pas énuméré sur la page du wiki en lien ci dessus.
-
-Configuration
-===========================
-* FIFE utilise un fichier appelé "fife.config" pour donner à l'utilisateur un contrôle sur certains aspects du moteur
-* Le fichier est commenté en anglais et s'explique de lui-même.
-
-Travailler avec les cartes de Fallout 1:
-==========================
-Sous Windows:
-* Copiez le "master.dat" & "critter.dat" de Fallout 1 et mettez les dans le répertoire d'installation de FIFE
-* Modifiez le FIFE.bat pour démarrer FIFE via: guimap_test.exe content/scripts/demos/load_fo1_maps.lua
-
-Sous Linux:
-* Copiez (ou liez) le "master.dat" & "critter.dat" de Fallout 1 et mettez les dans le répertoire contenant guimap_test
-* Démarrez FIFE via ./guimap_test content/scripts/demos/load_fo1_maps.lua
-
-Travailler avec les cartes de Fallout 2:
-==========================
-Sous Windows:
-* Copiez le "master.dat" & "critter.dat" de Fallout 2 et mettez les dans le répertoire d'installation de FIFE
-* Modifiez le FIFE.bat pour démarrer FIFE via: guimap_test.exe content/scripts/demos/load_fo2_maps.lua
-
-Sous Linux:
-* Copiez (ou liez) le "master.dat" & "critter.dat" de Fallout 2 et mettez les dans le répertoire contenant guimap_test
-* Démarrez FIFE via ./guimap_test content/scripts/demos/load_fo2_maps.lua
-
-
-Travailler avec des cartes (XML) personnalisées:
-==========================
-FIFE possède son propre format de carte maintenant donc vous pouvez testez le moteur sans avoir un des jeux Fallout installé. Vous pouvez ajoutez une carte personalisée XML ou une carte Fallout en modifiant /FIFE_dir/content/etc/maps_custom_players.txt (maps_custom_developers.txt si vous démarrez FIFE avec le script développeur lua).
-
-Sous Windows:
-* Modifiez le FIFE.bat pour démarrer FIFE via: guimap_test.exe content/scripts/demos/load_custom_maps_players.lua
-
-Sous Linux:
-* Démarrez FIFE via ./guimap_test content/scripts/demos/load_custom_maps_players.lua
-
-Astuce: la carte de démonstration actuelle est "official_map.xml". Les autres cartes dans la liste qui sont un peu anciennes et semblent avoir quelques problèmes. C'est pourquoi nous vous conseillons d'utiliser la carte officielle de démonstration. Un guide pour le format des cartes est disponible sur le wiki si vous souhaitez créer des cartes personnalisées pour FIFE :
-http://wiki.fifengine.de/index.php?title=Map_Format
-
-Chargement des cartes via l'interface "maploader" :
-==========================
-Vérifiez que vous avez lancé FIFE via "guimap_test.exe content/scripts/demos/load_custom_maps_players.lua" (Win32) / "./guimap_test content/scripts/demos/load_custom_maps_players.lua" (Linux). Selectionez la carte que vous souhaitez voir dans le menu et chargez la. Vous pouvez prendre des screenshots (avec F12) ou faire ce que vous voulez dessus. Si vous voulez charger une nouvelle carte, utilisez la touche F10, et cliquez sur le boutton "Tools" dans la console. Vous pouvez désormais charger une nouvelle carte avec l'interface maploader.
-
-Problèmes de Son:
-==========================
-Sous Windows:
-Si vous n'entendez pas la chanson "Maybe" lorsque vous démarrez FIFE, vous devrez installer une version à jour du driver OpenAL pour résoudre ce problème. Exécutez simplement le OpenALwEAX.exe qui est dans votre répertoire FIFE. S'il vous plait reportez tout bug sur les fourms fifengine.de si, après installation de ce driver à jour vous n'avez _PAS_ résolu votre problème de son. 
-
