PVPGN UPDATE INFORMATION
==========================

The path's specified are those of the default unix installation
NOTE: If updating through several versions (example if updating from 1.7.1 to
1.7.5) you HAVE to go through ALL the update information listed for every
version in between and including the last one (ex. you have to go through
1.7.1 to 1.7.2 update info, then 1.7.2 to 1.7.3, and so on until 1.7.4 to 1.7.5)
Updating from 1.99.0-CVS

to specify the address to listen for WOL clients, woltimezone for the
server timezone to send to clients, wollong for the server longitute,
wollat for the server latitude
- conf/bnetd.conf : changed "servaddrs" directive to not be totally commented
and be as ":" by default in bnetd.conf (if "servaddrs" is commented this
means "bnetd" will not listen for b.net services at all)

SC/BW 1.13 and 1.13b)

ladder game types as specified by "ladder_games" directive)

Diablo II level 100 workaround
Updating from 1.6.x to 1.7.0
==============================
Because of the many changes in 1.7.0 we recommend to use a clean install
and update the configuration files as necesarry. Things to note:
1. you now need GNU make to build PvPGN on POSIX systems (on Linux this is
just "make" but on *BSD is "gmake")
2. d2trans,gametrans,w3trans have been unified under address_translation.conf
file which has a complete new syntax so take care with that
