[crossfire] jcrossclient lives.

[Yann Chachkoff]

Just a small question: Why hasn't been jcrossclient made part of the Crossfire 
project, but is being maintained separately ? It seems a bit strange to me, 
especially since there is obviously no licencing issue.

      Major changes of note since the previous release include:
     >
     
     >
      * Support for PNG images (and removal of xpm support)
     >
     
     >
      * Support for big images on the map view
     >
     
     >
      * Support for scaled big images in the ground view window ( as seen at
     >
      
      https://sourceforge.net/project/screenshots.php?group_id=152431
      )
     >
     
     >
      * Numberpad now works for control
     >
     
     >
      * Names in the inventory window are no longer corrupted.
     >
     
     >
      * default view size is 15x15
     >
     
     >
      * Removal of fatigue bar
     >
     
     >
      Known Bugs:
     >
      * Command window is a bit, interesting, and sometimes throws
     >
      exceptions if the commands are malformated. Unlike other crossfire
     >
      clients, jcrossclient requires commands to be prefixed by ' and say
     >
      commands to be prefixed by "
     >
     
     >
      * Main window doesn't get created at the correct size, and must be
     >
      manually re-sized to expose the stat bars.
     >
     
     >
      * Map updates are somewhat slow, even on my AMD64 system, and the
     >
      display can flicker if it has lots of activity (like rapid movement).
     >
     
     >
     
     >
      I hope to address these issues over the coming weeks, most noticably
     >
      the map update speed/smoothess issue, as well as continuing to add
     >
      support for more of the newer features that the server can provide
     >
      (such as new_draw_info_ext support).
