Version 2.1.1 (March 2008)
Fixed a bug that was preventing the "Larger game adds cards" option from
working properly in many cases. If you generated a deck from before this
was fixed, and want to generate it again (either as cards or a text-only
listing), just specify "No" for that option to ensure you get the same deck
as before.
Also fixed a few typos and broken links in the web pages.
Version 2.1 (February and July 2005)
Added support for Russian Rails. This turned out to involve making changes
to our payoff formula that we decided to copy back into the
earlier maps. This means that if you go back and ask to reproduce a deck
that you printed before February 2005, you'll get a different deck. (Not
only are the payoffs slightly different, but the demands get combined
differently onto the cards, so the deck comes out significantly changed.)

Feb '05.
Version 2.0 (August 2003)
Added support for Lunar Rails. (Modifying the program to be able
to compute distances and costs for building between the two halves
of the map was, um, interesting.)
Documentation changes (May 2003)
On the page discussing how to cut up the decks,
added a link to GSView
for use by people who don't have PostScript-capable printers.
Also added a section describing how you can incorporate random events
(other than just Taxes) when playing with our randomly generated decks.
Version 1.9 (February 2003)
Added the 1999 edition of Empire Builder to the list of supported maps.
This is the edition that includes Mexico. It is very similar to the
map for North American Rails, but has some key differences that warrant
giving it a separate entry in the list of maps.
Version 1.8 (December 2002)
Added pictures of the goods for each demand.
A new option was added to give
you the choice of whether to include the pictures.
This version also introduced this "What's New" page.
Version 1.7 (October 2002)
This was the first revision in rather a while. It added the
wider margins option.
