Major version 10.0 is available for download

Finally, it is here. Delayed, but I hope the worst bugs are fixed now. I just wonder how many new are added too. :) A new, major, stable version of the game arrived. From visible changes, it brings mostly updates to the game's interface. It should be more friendly (and colorful) now. It can be noticed on refreshed screenshots too. ;) But most of the work are invisible for players. Unless in the form of issues. And more seriously, soon the game should be able to run even on lightbulbs, if its size will continue to fall. Reason: the task to rewrite the game continues. Now it reached another milestone, the bigger part is done, and I'm moving the game interface to its new home. About the new features or options, the version doesn't bring any new ones.

And what the plans for the nearest future? Same as were for this version. Continue the current tasks, the visible: on updating the look of the game's interface. Make it more consistent, looking better and be more friendly. I have some propositions from players which I want to add to the game. And, of course, continue rewriting the game. I have a feeling that this task will take some more time, but I hope that the next version won't be so late like this one. The task has some deeper sense, but I will be able to present it only when I finish.

Below is the list of changes since the last development release. It is probably the longest list of changes of any versions of the game. ;)
