today or yesterday for the other half of the world, we have released OpenTTD 0.5.2. This is the second bug fix release of the 0.5 series and does therefor not contain any new features.

i just downloaded 0.5.2 and i'm looking for that option making the time go slower (i.e. makes of 32 years 1 year). was that option part of nightlies? i remember i had this option, but im not sure wich version i used
I actually downloaded this on the night it came out... Mainly because my mum was deleting stuff and deleted OpenTTD!
Anyhow nothing special there but overall I havent really ever encountered any of the problems that have been fixed. But i can't complain much its always good to be up to date on the software.
For Debian users that have been experiencing problems while installing the Debian packages: There are new packages available on the download page that fix an install problem on Debian.
I've just upgraded to 0.5.2 from 0.5.1 and the "Disable electric rails" patch setting now removes electric trains from the game instead of allowing them to run on regular rails. Is this intended?
