-0.11.0
-- Redesigned 'Free Look' action (Pocket PCs)
-In order to accommodate for the requirements of the lure engine, the
-usage characteristics of the 'Free Look' action have been improved. The
-new behavior is available for use in all engines, but is is *strongly*
-recommended for at least when playing 'Lure of the Temptress'. By using
-the new scheme, when in 'Free Look' mode, it is now possible to enter
-left clicks by clicking a second time near the current location of the
-mouse pointer. Left and Right clicks at the current point location
-are also available by using the respective actions' bound key.
+0.12.0:
+- Improved SMUSH support (deprecated 'Smush_force_redraw' option)
+No skipped frames in Full Throttle action sequences. The 'Smush_force_redraw'
+option is not needed/honored anymore.
-- Reduced optimization build
-The ScummVM executable has grown quite large, prohibiting some devices
-from running memory demanding games (or any games at all). Code
-optimization level has been reduced to offset the growth of the executable.
-Games run slightly slower. This will be addressed before next release.
+- Fixed MultiFuntion key in Full Throttle
-- Several bugfixes
+- Improved sound output
+Fixed a long standing bug which led to distorted sound output in all games.
+
+- Switched to faster ogg vorbis library
+Robin Watts' libTremolo is used for ogg vorbis (tremor) replay. Info patch
+by Lostech.
+
+- New right click through double tap inhibiting option
+Check out the 'no_doubletap_rightclick' option if double-tapping as a right
+click input method annoys you. Patch by spookypeanut.
