This is a document Hooray and I have been working on for a while. Its
focused on the internals, and very likely in a messy state and very
weird, but hopefully some others will want to contribute. There's some
empty sections, random "test" code snippets, and lots of \todos in
there. Also, lines aren't wrapped at all, but it does generate a nice
PDF that contains, I hope, something that will be useful.
The PDF was rendered by writeLaTeX.com
All tree texture sheets now contain 4 different texture sets for
different conditions. See Docs/README.materials for details.
Also retire the -summer and -winter variants of tree textures, which
are now redundant.
Checklists may now be split into individual sections made up
of <pages> containing the <item> tags. Each page is displayed
individually with Previous/Next buttons to allow navigation.
Checklists items also support <marker> tags. These display
a marker when a ? button is pressed next to the checklist item.
The format is identical to that of the tutorial system.
Checklist items now support a <condition> element that evaluates
when the checklist item is complete, and is used to provide color
coding in the checklist dialog.
Switch c172p and concorde glass effects to the new effect.
Docs/model-combined.eff/: Updated transparent effect template.
From now on Effects/model-combined should not be inherited from directly.
Use either Effects/model-combined-deferred
or Effects/model-combined-transparent

model-combined & model-combined-deferred effects: improve Rembrandt behaviour, and provide better effects for transparent
surfaces under Rembrandt.
This change breaks current effects using normalmaps when inheriting from model-combined-deferred under
Rembrandt.
Aircraft developers please change the technique numbers in the "normalmap include" part of your effects file from
<technique n="8"> to <technique n="7"> (again, only if inheriting from model-combined-deferred, and using normalmaps)
Effects inheriting from model-combined do not neeed any adaptation.
Sorry for the nuisance caused by this change.

Effects/model-combined.eff fix techniques numbering. Make active under rembrandt too. add model-combined-deferred as a stub for now for specific
Rembrandt use.
Users of model-combined with normalmaps should change the technique number to 9, and duplicate that entry for technique 8.
Fix some longstanding png warnings. Provide null_reflectdir.png for model-combined
This should fix part of bug #726

Provide templates for various aircraft components or complete aircraft
types. Better to have this stuff available/adaptable than hard-coded
somewhere inside fgfs.
