Thanks slick.
- I notice that the history entries are not viewable in-game until the next turn. Is there a limit on how many entries can be made before processing a turn? Is there a limit to the total length of a history for a given race?
-Don't know, I've not imposed any limits, but I don't know if the game has a length limit.
- I notice that if you choose "multi line entry" in v1.2, you still are forced to enter a main message before saving, but only the muli line entry shows up in the history, not the main message.
-I don't understand quite what you mean, could be a bug that's already fixed in the current dev Version.
When I make a multi-line message and exits the entry-box it's in the message list to the left in the application, and when I choose save changes it's saved, just as if I'd made a normal single line message.
And it doesn't seem to delete any followed single line entry now either.
So it could already be fixed.....
Nothing is saved until you choose the save button.
EDIT:Loaded up ver 1.2 and yes, you where right, and yes, it's already fixed in next ver.
(How could I fix a bug I didn't know about?
After compiling and building v 1.2 I added a few other changes, didn't like them and closed the project and reloaded it, just to see that I hadn't saved after making the multi-line message function.
So I remade it, obviously better this time
)
- I noticed that the history is not actually sorted by in-game date, it is listed sequentially by when it was entered. Probably not much you can do about the sort order except to enter things on the turn that they happen so they appear sequential.
-Will make a sort by date button, thanks!

AT, what do you mean?
Do you mean an ability to go back to the player selection screen without reloading the game?
I can do that.
In the current dev Version there is a recent list with an auto entry check box, one click and you can be in the edit mode for any of the Last 20 games.
Edit2: Will post a new Version before the weekend, as I'll be gone for a LAN meeeting with some friends this weekend I won't be working on this app.
