Here are the patches.

Version History for Space Empires IV
---------------------------------------------------

Version 1.84:
1. Fixed - Reordered some of the formations to be better for ship movement.
2. Fixed - Tech Areas that were not allowed in the Game Setup would still show under the expected results list of research.
3. Fixed - Ships in combat will follow their fleet's strategy until they are no longer in a combat group. Once they are no longer in a combat group, they will follow their own strategy.
4. Changed - When planets take damage, weapon platforms will be destroyed first. After all weapon platforms are destroyed, then the remaining units will take damage randomly.
5. Added - Added two new target types for components: "Ships" and "Ships".
6. Fixed - The Designs Window list would not show a design with the same name as another, but with different case.
7. Fixed - AI would build multiple system-wide resource modifier facilities in a system.

Version 1.83:
1. Fixed - You could stop a "Slow Build" by clearing the queue.
2. Fixed - You could stop a "Slow Build" by giving a planet to another player.
3. Fixed - The Jraenar battleship portrait was 1 pixel to large.
4. Fixed - Intro screen graphic stretches to the screen size.
5. Fixed - "Any" and "None" were being confused in CompEnhancement.txt for the field "Weapon Type Requirement".
6. Fixed - Weapon Mounts were not showing in the expected benefits list when looking at a Tech Area report.
7. Fixed - AI will now use Master Computers on his ships correctly.
8. Fixed - Added more slots to all of the formations to keep ships together better in combat. New formations thanks to Imperator Fyron.

Version 1.82:
1. Changed - Ships in combat will now follow their fleet's strategy regardless of whether they are in a combat group or not.
2. Fixed - Computer Players which had a "Computer Player Bonus" set above None were not using all of their bonus funds.
3. Fixed - The largest ship in a sector was not always being drawn on top in the system display.
4. Fixed - Planets in combat would not fire all of their weapons (sometimes).
5. Fixed - Planets in combat would not fire enough seekers against a target to guarantee its destruction (sometimes).
6. Fixed - Improved the Transport minister a little.
7. Added - The Log Window will now return you to the item you had selected the Last time you were in the window.
8. Fixed - Ships with a Tractor Beam would not fire weapons located after the tractor beam in their design.

Version 1.81:
1. Fixed - "Crew ConVersion" damage type will work on all target types, again.
2. Fixed - "Crew ConVersion" damage type will fail against a ship with a Master Computer (regardless if that component is damaged or not). It does not matter if there is a Bridge on the ship.
3. Fixed - AI will no longer launch "Anti-Planet" Drones in combat.
4. Added - Option to strategems to control how many drones are launched per target in combat.
5. Changed - You can now give drones orders to Attack warp points. This is essentially the same as telling them to warp through and attack anything on the other side. Any survivors can then be given new orders.

1. Fixed - Integer Overflow when a unit with no shields was hit by normal weapons.
2. Changed - "Crew ConVersion" damage type will only work against ships regardless of the target type.

2. Fixed - Shield Depeleters will now work properly against units.
3. Fixed - The result of a Communication interception intelligence project will be displayed with arrows in the log window.
4. Fixed - Ships would clear their order if trying to move to sector 0,0.
