- NOTE ! If you are uppgrading from 0.5.0 or 0.5.1:
- ==========================================
- Due to an erlier misspelling I had to rename the preference-file to "ForeignFruitInvaders Pref", if
- you want to keep your old settings and HighScores rename the old pref-file to the new name. (
- you find in your "SystemsFolder:Preferences") It's the same file-format, just another name.

- 971116 News and enhancements in release 0.5.1
-
- 1. Patches and fixes to improve misc. sprite behavior.
- 2. Made "Reposition of the mouse" optional, because there is a slight chance that this feature
- may cause crashes in future releases of MacOS.
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 971026 News in release 0.5
-
- 1. Settings and score are now stored in a preferencefile, placed in Systemfolder:Preferencefolder
- instead of the application itself. Your settings will now be keept intact while updating FFI, and
- no more problems having the application stored on a read-only volume.
-
- 2. A more fancy look on the score-panel. This is a optional feature. You may want to turn it
- off on a low-end computer.
-
- 3. The timer is now represented by "your neighbour's car", if you take too much time to finish one
- level a HotRod will run you down. Approches from the left, soundless so far.
