Okay, if you do those, then I'll do the rest. The announcement follows:


Version 0.3.3 of Adonthell [0] is out. With it comes Waste's Edge [1],
the first in a series of mini RPGs to test our engine and to introduce
our game world. 

We're putting as much effort into this world and its background as we
put into actual coding and game design. The first fruits of these
efforts can be viewed in our library [2]. 

As you can imagine, we're constantly looking for writers, artists and
programmers. More information is available at [3].

The most notable changes over 0.3.2 include

* NLS support (no translations available yet - *hint, hint*)
* Doublesize (640x480) mode
* Huge speed improvements
* Bugfixes for big endian machines (no more psychedelic gfx though)

Okay, I've commented the windows download stuff out for now. Feel free
to change that after you uploaded the installer.
