	20040510.title	There be monkeys here!
	20040510.content	This is just a quick update to let everybody know we're still alive. Work on ScummVM is progressing as per usual, and we intend to release ScummVM 0.6.1 shortly. ScummVM 0.6.1 will contain several bugfixes for various games, as well as several sound and music enhancements for later SCUMM games (Full Throttle, The Dig, Curse of Monkey Island). Also, followers of CVS may have noticed that support for Another World was recently added. This provoked quite a bit of argument within the ScummVM team as to whether this is considered an adventure and within ScummVMs goals. After much debate, the engine author (cyx) decided that it would be more convenient to continue the project separate from ScummVM. It has now been removed, and future information and development will occur as part of the [RAW](http://membres.lycos.fr/cyxdown/raw/) project. To prevent any doomsday predictions, I should also point out that he remains a member of the ScummVM team.
	20040727.title	What have you done this time, you meddling milquetoast?!?
	20040727.content	ScummVM 0.6.1 is out, and can now be grabbed from our download page! Among the usual changes, ScummVM should now run natively on 64-bit machines -- something we actually forgot to mention in the NEWS file. And you know what they say: "To save the world, you have to push a few old ladies down the stairs." So we made a mother-load of fixes in this release. Some of the wonderful things you will no LONGER see in ScummVM include: * Glitches using an Ogg Vorbis talkie file in some games * Crashes on 64-bit machines * Crashes when saving to an invalid directory in Broken Sword 1 * Lots of sound glitches in Curse of Monkey Island, Full Throttle and The Dig * Crashes in some international versions of Simon the Sorcerer * ... and lots of other annoying bugs! So don't delay, download today. Downloads are not yet available for all supported ports, such as non-ARM PocketPCs and the HandheldPC binaries. These should become available within the next week.
	20040728.title	Oh No! Not Again!
	20040728.content	Well, one of those "Small Yet Important" coding mistakes has cropped up in ScummVM 0.6.1. A copy-and-paste error in the 'Edit Game' screen may result in people not being able to save a game. The mistake involves the new 'Paths' tab, which allows for easier editing of game paths. Unfortunately, the 'Extra Path' field on this screen is accidentally saved as directory to use for saved games, instead of correct field below it. This was noticed and fixed in the experimental CVS version, but the fix was mistakenly left out of the ScummVM 0.6.1 release. If you encounter this glitch, the recommended work around is to set the Extra Path to the saved game directory. ScummVM 0.6.1b will be released soon to correct this issue.
	20040805.title	ScummVM 0.6.1b released {Insert Witty Comment Here}
	20040805.content	ScummVM version 0.6.1b was released today, fixing some very annoying regressions we discovered in its predecessor, 0.6.1. Everybody is strongly recommended to update to this version And now... have some fun, folks!
	20040911.title	Lots of stuff going on
	20040911.content	Well, this is just to let you know we are not dead. There has been some amazing work happening in the last few weeks - with ScummVMs support for the HE SCUMM games improving in rapid bursts thanks to the combined talent of cyx, Kirben and Sev. And of course, there has been more development than just this. And now we would like to bring up the point that our side-projects Residual and ScummEX both need developers and contributors. We welcome patches from other programmers very much. With the help of ScummVM developers joostp and aquadran, salty-horse (a regular #scummvm'er) today submitted a patch for lipsync animations in Residual. Please see our 'subprojects' page and the 'Coding Guidelines' in our Documentation section. If you are interested in pursuing a particular problem, please e-mail the "-devel" mailing list or pop on IRC if you need advice or help.
	20040930.title	And so it was said, Let There Be Contest!
	20040930.content	Hello, humble Website Watchers. We have gathered you all here today for a contest of most epic proportions. Well, not really. We're holding a contest to redesign the ScummVM website. If you have talent, and want to contribute something to ScummVM, here is your chance. Rules * Designs should be submitted in Photoshop (.PSD) or GIMP (.XCF) format. Layers should be used, and consideration taken that the majority of the design is feasibly done in HTML with minimal use of large graphical elements. * The completed design must be designed for optimal use at 1024x768, but the page should be designed to be renderable in lower resolutions and in text-only browsers. * The main focus should be on an easy, noticeable and uncrowded navigation system. * Sites submitted with a completed HTML template will be considered for extra points if they obey the following extra rules. Otherwise they will be graded on design merits only. * Completed sites should be submitted as a one-page HTML template. All original graphics should be included (layered if applicable) in Photoshop .PSD or GIMP .XCF format. * Sites must have readable HTML/CSS code, and should be quick-loading and as 'light' as possible. * Sites should be W3C HTML4.01 verified, and have no particular browser dependencies. Submissions close on the 21st of October, and public voting will occur after the team has selected the final candidates. There will be a prize or two of some sort for the winner, which will be announced at a later date. Please e-mail all submissions to contest@scummvm.org in a .zip, .tar.gz or .tar.bz2 archive.
	20041011.title	Contest reminder!
	20041011.content	Greetings fellow adventurers! Just a reminder that the submission deadline for the Website Revamp contest is here in just ten days! The very first submission was just received, so if you have yet to even start, time is running out. The prizes will be announced as soon as somebody gets back to me since certain sites news posts suggest he hasn't forgotten :)
	20041019.title	Contest submissions closing soon
	20041019.content	Anybody wishing to enter the Website Revamp contest better get their entries in, only two days left! So far we have only five entries. That's not too bad, but I was hoping for at least another five more. So if you're still sitting on an entry, SEND IT IN!

	20041022.title	Contest submissions closed!
	20041022.content	Well, we left it open a bit longer for those who ran late... but the entries for the ScummVM Revamp contest are now closed. Judges will be looking at the pages over the last few days, and unless there is an out-right winner the finalists will be voted on by YOU - our dearest users :) Further information will be posted soon. The winner will receive some Random Stuff(tm), with the main prize being some Sam and Max swag (most likely) signed by the creator of Sam and Max, Steve Purcell. Further information will be posted soon!
	20041028.title	Updated FAQ
	20041028.content	Several months have passed since we last updated our [FAQ](/faq/). Lots of things have happened in the meanwhile and we have added a nice collection of new answers to it. So what are you waiting for? Go and read the [FAQ](/faq/) now!
	20041205.title	Website Revamp contest status update; 0.7.0 release plans; user manual
	20041205.content	Yo folks, you are probably all wondering Whatever happened to that website design contest? It's been closed over a month ago and there is still no winner!. Well, good question :-) First off, let me tell you that some of the submitted designs are really awesome, and I would hereby like to thank all the people who submitted their work. Sorry for letting you wait so long on the outcome. Now, to determine the winner, we conducted an internal poll with the team. This took some time until all team members were able to submit their filled out forms. That process didn't produce a clear winner, though. So then, some of us wanted to conduct a poll amongst you, dear users, to pick the winner out of the three finalists. For various reasons, that just didn't happen... until now! Go to our [poll page](http://www.scummvm.org/poll/index.php) to see the finalists, and to be able to poll on them! We'll let this polling go for about 14 days, at which point we'll finally decide on the winner. On another matter, we have now started work on the next major release of ScummVM. 0.7.0 is (rather aggressively) scheduled for Christmas 2004! We hope to be able to deliver a nice christmas present to you this way. But for this to work out, we need your help: We need people who actively test the latest CVS so that we can iron out and fix all remaining issues with it, to ensure a high quality release. If you want to help, check out the [release status page](http://www.scummvm.org/documentation.php?view=release) for a list of games which need testing. That's it for today, hopefully the next time around we can announce something more substantial (like a new release or a new website). Until then: happy play testing to all of you! P.S.: Maybe you also have been wondering Gee, will these guys ever reach 1.0? As a matter of fact, we are now working towards this goal. There is basically a single major piece missing for that: a good user manual. If you are a skilled manual writer, have some spare time, and want to help, drop us a mail on the scummvm-devel mailing list.
	20041206.title	Website Poll temporarily closed
	20041206.content	Since so many people decided to screw the results of the poll, it is temporarily closed while we make a more cheat-proof script. We'll let you know when voting is back online.
	20041217.title	Website Poll is open again
	20041217.content	We are pleased to reopen our [website poll](http://www.scummvm.org/poll/). We found a free poll service, but unfortunately it is ad-driven. Please bear with this. P.S.: If you have already given your vote with the old poll, you will have to re-vote using the new poll.
	20041223.title	Website contest poll closed: We have a winner!
	20041223.content	It's been almost two months since we started our website design contest, and I know some of you have been eagerly awaiting the outcome. Since the team couldn't quite decide on who should be winner, we let you, our dear users, have a word in the outcome of this epic battle. And finally, we are happy to let it be known that after about 1400 votes we do have a clear winner! And it is... [draven](http://www.scummvm.org/poll/draven.jpg), with a strong majority of 55% of all votes! Congratulations, draven! So what now? We'll be settling the issue of the prize(s) for the winning entry in the next few days, and start working on implementing the new design. We consider doing some further tweaks to it (like, some people suggested to actually use the logo of jeanm's submission; and we have some other ideas up our sleeves). This may take some time, partially because it's a holiday time for a lot of us. So I am afraid you'll have to be a bit more patient. Good things need time :-).
	20041224.title	Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas and a Happy New ScummVM 0.7.0!
	20041224.content	We are proud to announce the release of ScummVM 0.7.0, right in time for Christmas Eve! While not quite as ground breaking as some of our previous major releases, this version sports some notable improvements and additions, amongst them: * Added preliminary support for 26 Humongous Entertainment titles * Added support for FLAC (lossless) encoded audio files * Added native support for Macintosh versions of some SCUMM games -- this means the 'rescumm' tool is now mostly obsolete, and you can now play those games directly from the original CD * Added smooth horizontal scrolling for The Dig, Full Throttle and COMI (matching the original engine) * Added support for compressed speech and music in Broken Sword 1 and 2 * And as usual, we fixed lots and lots of bugs A link to the release notes and a more detailed list of changes can be found over on the [downloads page](/downloads/), along with the download links. Updating to this latest and greatest version is strongly recommended to all our users.
