If a game design does not specify a side library, Xconq will assign side names A, B, C, etc, in order, instead of choosing random letters. Bug fixes for crashing commands, Mac edge cases, name reporting, Solaris builds, and networked game reliability, among others. Xconq now includes basic support for networked games. Unix Xconq has updated configury for new versions of Unix, and it now installs as a setuid program so that the scorefile may be shared by multiple users. The Mac interface to Xconq now includes offscreen drawing for smoother and faster scrolling, more player control over color usage, more preference settings, and other goodies, all thanks to Hans Ronne.
Many images now have full-color versions.
Most library games have been enhanced to use new features, or have had serious bugs fixed. Due to copyright issues, the tolkien and starwars games are no longer part of the distributed library. The manual's chapters on game design have been split into a separate manual. Maze generation now guarantees a completely connected maze. Image colors are now handled as 1x1 tiles.
