Campobasso, Italy - May 4th, 2009

BOH just got better and now it even runs natively on MacOS X!

Specifically, this update:

    <*>makes the game run natively on MacOS X Tiger/Leopard machines; <*>adds zooming to full screen modes; <*>allows the choice of the screen mode among those notified by the system; <*>replaces zooming routines with more optimized ones (especially 3x and 4x); <*>adds the possibility of disabling interpolation (for slow computers); <*>adds the possibility of disabling the rendering of barriers; <*>improves a bit the original themes; <*>enriches slightly the Evil Masters AI; <*>adds timer ticking during time-limited missions; <*>adds map zooming; <*>adds the option of sorting missions by difficulty; <*>allows the use of joypads/joysticks with just 1 button; <*>fixes the following bugs: bad joypad handling (detection was inhibited by a '2' in place of a '1'; sometimes up/down movement could stick); handling (repeat delay handling was missing); a bad optimization of ray-tracing routine (which had no practical effects thanks to the way maps and themes were made); <*>improves and extends the user's manual; <*>links the AmigaOS 4 version to libSDL 1.2.13; <*>applies some other minor changes.

BOH owners can enjoy the update by downloading it for free from the DOWNLOADS page of the official website at www.bohthegame.com.
