This release does not contain much new from the user's point of view. I have been improving the error handling in several areas, so file and permissions errors should be less likely to result in a crashed interface; common problems like images.tar.gz being inaccessible should result in error messages in a dialog box now. The lack of other changes needed is partly due to getting little feedback, as you would expect for a pre-v1 version of a game few people know of, and there being few bugs to fix.

Internally, I have been doing a lot of cleaning up of the code: I learned python from a python-1.5 reference book that I bought from a remainders bookshop some years ago, so I have been using a lot of rather… old python idioms. So I have been doing a lot of code refactoring to make it a bit more modern and readable. There is still more to do here; on the bright side, given the lack of any other bugs, I should be ready to do a v1.0 when the code clean-up is done.

The new version is available from the python Kye page.
