DNS outage and other tidbits

As you could see everything related to OpenTTD was out for a few days (at least the DNS servers which are responsible for ip-to-address resolve). Due to a power-out the servers were shut down and wouldn't reboot properly. Of course this happened during the weekend, so we had to wait until Monday to get it fixed. Everything is back online now :).

On another note, an RSS button has been added to the website for the people that like RSS-feed of the sparse news openttd.org supplies.

Once a few issues are resolved you can expect a new release in the near future. Until then we strongly recommend to try out the nightlies (Downloads section) if you can't wait.

Website revamp

As you can see the OpenTTD website has enjoyed a major rewrite. It is now featuring the same design as servers.openttd.org and helps us administer it better.
Credits go to Hesslow for the new design, I'll take credit for the coding. We hope you like it!

On another note, Ludde, the original author of OpenTTD has returned from the darkness and is already busy adding nice features. Three cheers for him!

OpenTTD 0.4.0.1 released

Yes so soon :). This is a hotfix release where several issues with 0.4.0 have been fixed. Some crashes don''t happen anymore, signs work, etc. Otherwise it has no new features, but we urge you to use this one instead of 0.4.0.

As usual, you can find the release on SourceForge.

OpenTTD 0.4.0 released!
