        - Stops
        - Extension buildings
        - Signals
        - Buying land
        - Removing trees
        - Obsolete values relating to tunnels and electrification.
• FIX: Incorrect formula for calculating the adjusted power of slower steam powered convoys.

Feedback and testing

Thanks to all those who have tested Simutrans-Experimental and provided useful feedback: bugs in the last version would not have been found were it not for the helpful input of testers. Any further feedback from this version would be very much appreciated, including (1) bug reports; (2) information as to how well-balanced that the game is; (3) any difference in approach/strategy needed for Simutrans-Experimental as over Simutrans-Standard; and (4) any other useful feedback.

Happy playing!

Edit: Updated to include the new (now working) [ simutrans [dot] us (site down, do not visit) ] download locations, and also the definite locations of the Linux binaries.
