congrats for v0.9

[freeaks]

hi there
i just wanted to say i've been playing openxcom v0.9 for a few days now,
and i think you all done an amazing work so far !
i like the options you've added, in particular:
- the path finding highlight
- the detection radius on geoscape for ships and bases
- the ability to load games from within missions
- the support for mouse wheel
- the ability to launch ships even if refueling, rearming or repairs aren't completely finished
+ all the bug fixes and all..
that's really cool !

fully agree to all being said!

Some minor balance issues for me but the game feels great already!

Just to add my thanks also. Really great work you have all done here on making one of the best games of all time even better. Thanks very much. I've been running a little thread for it over at quartertothree for it since i read the RPS article. Awesome work from all involved in updating this classic. Much better than the new X-com

I'm just going to add my praise to this thread - I guess there's not need for everyone to make his own.
Anyway, OpenXcom is really a tremendous peiece of work, and you've taken the best  approach (imo) by just remaking the original game 1:1 (or as close as possible) and only then going on from there adding optional stuff (I'm still not sure whether you want to do that or leave it to others, but it's possible, in any event).
Thanks very very much for making this happen!

Btw., like freeaks, I'm very happy with the options you added so far. Excellent improvements to an already great game.
Thanks again!

I have some more things to say and ask, but I'll do so seperately in threads to those topics.

Going to have to add my congrats as well -- great achievement! And this is definitely the best version of X-Com.

If you're using windows, you should try the latest GIT builds instead of using the "stable" 0.9- unless you download at a very unlucky time they're generally less buggy and have more new features.
