  To use this, Java 3d needs to be installed on your machine 
  (https://java3d.dev.java.net/binary-builds.html.
  Then, run MegaMek with the commandline parameter
  -Dmegamek.client.ui.AWT.boardView=megamek.client.ui.AWT.boardview3d.BoardView3D
  Also, the memory allocated to MegaMek should be increased by using the command
  line parameter -Xmx256M, as soon as you want to play on somewhat larger maps.

+ Patch 1230249, Bugs 1224113, 1224451: Arrow IV homing targets mapsheet.
   The server tries to share out homing missiles fairly among TAGs fired
   at targets on the same mapsheet. 
   TAG has a "mode" setting, allowing that TAG shot to take 1,2,3 or 4 shares
   of the incoming missiles. This allows the player some control over target
   priority (e.g. send 3 missiles at the Atlas and 1 at the Marksman).
   If there are more incoming missiles than the sum of the priorities, it
   starts over (so no need to mess with mode
   setting at all if you just want an even split).
   The "Rulebreaker" option "a4homing_target_area" uses 8 hex radius from the
   target hex instead of mapsheets for eligible targets.
+ TAG should not be able to target infantry.

+ Bug 1042069: Allow Fusion Vehicles that have Vacuum Protection to survive in
    vacuum. To add Vacuum Protection to a unit, give it an equipment named
    "Vacuum Protection".
+ Bug 1174457: after /reset minefield's wouldn't work.
+ more cost fixing goodness.
+ Bug 1194504: Added "done" marker to right-click and pop-up window on
    BoardView1, to make it easier to determine if something has moved.

    renamed MegaMek.log to megameklog.txt for ease of use.

    our unit names (like all infantry) are wrong, according to my master list.

+ Dedicated server now loads game options from the xml file.
+ Patch 997507: Reworked how scrolling works, including a Drag-and-Drop right-
    click scroll option, like it is used in lots of other games. The default 
    scrolling is unchanged, except that now right-click default scrolling works
    also in the firing phase, this was made possible because now we don't get 
    a 'Target Hex' context menu after scrolling with the right mouse button,
    which also made the 'always scroll using right click' option obsolete.
    Shift scrolling works the same as before, but it can't be used exclusively
    anymore. To use the new Drag-and-Drop right-click scrolling option,
    activate the corresponding option (this also disabled Arrow-Key and 
    Shift-Key scrolling), and see that you can scroll by holding the right
    mouse button and moving the Mouse.

  still have one arm but are at a +1 to hit with all weapons and can not
  fire weapons in that arm.
+ Task L3 Opposed weight mods for physicals: PSR BTH when being kicked or 
  pushed is modified by weight class difference. Modifier is 1 for every 
  weight class difference. Add the difference to the PSR BTH if the attacker
  is heavier, subtract if the attacker is lighter.
