Features:
Enhancements:
- Performance of the sqlite3 database backend was improved slighty.
- Searching for color files on Windows was improved. Minetestmapper will
now search the directory where minetestmapper is installed.
- The documentation is now included in the generated packages as well.
- The user manual and building instructions have been improved.
Bugfixes:
- Windows builds (using MinGW) are working again - a few incompatibilities
have prevented that for some time.
Windows compilation has been tested using MinGW as a cross
compiler, running on a Linux host.
Other:
- The option --sqlite-cacheworldrow was tested on a few large worlds,
and minetestmapper performed consistently worse with it, than
without it. The option was therefore deemed useless, and disabled.
It is still recognised though, so that existing scripts will keep
working.
If anyone has test data available, or other experience, indicating
that this option *did* have tangible benefit, please let me know.
