08/17/2004: v1.4.3
- corrected the '1-2'-bug: you couldn't enter these two digits
into fields like the structure field because they were used as
keyboard shortcuts for browsing forward and back. browsing's done
with 'q' and 'w' now, and 'q' quits the game only when the browse
buttons aren't shown (e.g. in main menu mode)
- corrected some minor transfer list bugs (there seem to be
infinitely many of these :-( )

you can switch this off, of course)

individual teams to files and import such files into your local

change at the beginning of a new season

penalties were shot
- added average skill labels in the main window

of left-clicking; left-clicking always swaps players now

structure to the appropriate value
- savegames located in the $HOME/.bygfoot/saves directory can be
loaded from the command line without full path names

credit now

balanced until now)

saved games of previous versions.

- switched to UTF-8 encoding: all text files are encoded that way,
so that almost any special character (eg. in a team or player
name) can be displayed correctly
- added Cristian Spoiala's country file for Romania

team

of the 'team_names_XX' files, so that you have custom team names
and league/cup names

NOTE: This version is unfortunately not compatible anymore to
saved games of previous versions. This is because of the new
player and team names.
04/07/2004: v1.0 final 'Quickfoot'
- connected the skill level of European teams to the average level
of the Premiership so that it doesn't become too easy to win the
European Cups after a couple of seasons

and calculate the results quicker, too

- stadium values may be increased twice a week now
- added some buttons to give easier access to tables and fixtures

but the difference between players with similar propertiers
(skill etc.) in different leagues is much smaller now
- UEFA Cup is now harder to win
- fixed a bug that led to the same number of goal chances in every
game regardless of the individual teams that played (this made
it very hard for even the best teams to win predictably against
weaker opponents)

files
