Force lvz transparency option (not only moving)
Untitled maps do not get autosaved to avoid having hundreds of empty levels in the autosaves folder. Plus, the countdown is reseted when the map is saved. Also removed the copy of the log file that was done with every map... wasn't very useful
MsInet 'Request Timed Out' error is now handled
Fixed crash when zooming out in tile editor
3.1.09
Tile operations should be a little faster on pixel level
Drawing bomb lines was not fixed on the rounded aim angle, which led to inconsistencies between the ship gfx and the actual aiming of the bomb line

selection on pixel level is now around edges
optimized applyselection ~60% faster
when map resized (e.g switching tools popped up toolbar making space for map smaller or resizing window) it doesn't redraw everything, just the part that wasn't visible before. This decreases lag when switching tools considerably
deleteselection is faster because arrays are zeromemoryd instead of deleting and reallocating
get and set tile of map is a bit faster because of byref arguments

Version 2

2.1
2.1.01
Fixed huge compatibility bug between DCME and other map editors.
The issue should fix all known tileset problems and 'corrupt map' problems
To ensure backward-compatibility between 2.0 maps and this version's, we have added automatic tile data recovery feature. It should try loading the file in different ways and output the best result. If you can't open a map made with older DCME in other editors, load it with this version, and save it back. It should fix it.

We can now import settings from .cfg file
New WallTiles generator in tileset editor
Fixed critical bug when no rTIL region chunk was loaded
Added 'advanced pencil' feature, that allows you to ignore special tiles and lay tiles over them to do some weird things
Greatly improved logging of events, it is now a circular log that keeps the last 1MB (by default) of text
Autosave feature, completly adjustable
Added Undo/Redo descriptions for menus
New custom chunk used: DCID ; hashcode of the map, used by autosave
Added .bak to openmap filter
Fixed CTRL+Click with wand in an unselected area to create a useless Undo step
In testmap, wormholes do not warp you if Tile Collision is off
In testmap, drawn tiles (with Q or W) can be undo'ed
