Bananas - changelog for updated asset

Post by andythenorth »

It would be useful if Bananas could show players an indication of what has changed when an update for a newgrf or other item is available.

The description field is already very constrained for space and does not offer sufficient characters to do this in a useful way.

A changelog field could be a useful way to implement this. I could probably patch bananas successfully to do this, but support would also need to be added to render the information in the openttd GUI.

cheers,

Andy

Well, all NewGRFs already (can) ship with a readme.txt and a changelog.txt. OpenTTD "just" fails to offer any means to display there - just as the ominous *someone* didn't finish (or possibly even start) with a patch which allows to show readme and changelog enclosed in bananas downloads. I agree that such addition will be a very welcome one.
