 	Coming in fast and furious now.  That was quite the amazing 
Conquest game we had yesterday.  Hopefully we can do that again sometime 
:)

 	This release adds the 8.0.1n 'real planet' fixes as well as a 
couple of other annoyances seen in yesterday's game.

Here's the relevant bits:

Version 8.0.1o 11/21/2004 (devel)

         - incorporates 8.0.1n patch that fixes protocol problem with
           letting the client know the true 'realness' of a planet.

         - fixed planet sending logic to account for newly scanned
           planets.  Previously, it could take up to 5 seconds for the
           client to be told the true army count of a planet that was
           just scanned for the first time.

           You should now get the real army count almost immediately
           after scanning a planet for the first time.

         - increased packet timeout waits for the initial server/client
           negotiation sequence that could cause problems connecting to
           a server with a high lag.  Where it used to only wait about
           10 seconds for the initial hello packets from the server, it
           now waits 60 seconds for example.  On a really laggy server
           it may take a minute or more to fully connect, by which time
           you will problably not want to play on that server anyway :)

         - small bug in curses client (conquest) that could cause
           problems if other than expected packets came in during
           welcome phase

         - In meta list, [ENTER] can be used as well as [TAB] to
           select a server to connect to.
