Version 4.0 is out!

[ChristopheF]

Chaos Strikes Back for Windows version 4.0 is available on the Clones page.
What's new in this version:

- Major memory leak when the player asked that the databases **NOT** be expanded. This is nearly a show-stopper.

- Added debug trace to help users remap the keyboard shortcuts. The trace is shown along with the various counters when in 'small-screen' mode. (Uncheck 'double-size' in the Misc menu)

- Made the Firestaff work. Michael Hutton (beowuuf) put one in the dungeon with DMute and it crashed the program.

- Coded around a Microsoft Compiler error (Yes, they admit it is their error). It caused minor difference between Debug and Release versions of the program. The relase version was wrong.

- Several cosmetic bugs noted by users.

The Firestaff never worked in the original CSB anyway. You could certainly pick it up and put it in the champion's hands, but it had no actions associated with it.

Well the code survived from DM. I had not translated it because it
was never used. Now it seems to work. You can get rid of Lord Chaos.

Strange that the code was left in, but the actions removed (on the Amiga version at least...) Perhaps it was more effort to remove it??
