"Flight plans" which can start at a given time (gmt)
WAITUNTIL tokens which pause the flight plans until a given time (gmt)
Submodels can now be attached to any AI objects (except submodels - it can
be done, but in my experimental code it's too expensive in frame rate atm)
"No-roll" attribute added to Ballistic objects - useful for wakes and the
like
"Random" attribute added to Ballistic objects (adds =- 5% to the Cd) -
useful for smoke, exhausts
If the <trigger> tag is not specified the Ballistic object/s will be
released at start-up (cannot be stopped)
Submodels are not released from AI Objects if the AI Object is more than 15
miles away.

mf: minor code and formatting fixes; submodels.?xx were FUBAR and are thus
astyle formatted;
NOTE that <name> tags END, EOF, WAIT, WAITUNTIL are *depreciated*.
Don't get too used to them. This will have to be moved from the "name"
to regular engries.
Nasal now supports calls to "subcontexts" and errors can be thrown
across them, leading to complete stack traces when call() is used,
instead of the truncated ones we now see.
Vectors can now be concatenated using the ~ operator that used to work
only for strings.
Better runtime error messages in general due to a fancier
naRuntimeError() implementation
A big data size shrink on 64 bit systems; the size of a naRef dropped
by a factor of two.
"Braceless code blocks" have been added to the parser, so you can
write expressions like "if(a) b();" just like in C. Note that there's
still a parser bug in there that fails when you nest a braced block
within a braceless one.
Character constants that appear in Nasal source code can now be
literal multibyte UTF8 characters (this was always supported for
string literals, but character constants were forced to be a single
byte).
New modules: "bits", "thread", "utf8" and (gulp...) "io". The bits
library might be useful to FlightGear, the utf8 one probably not as
Plib does not support wide character text rendering. The thread
library will work fine for spawning threads to do Nasal stuff, but
obviously contact with the rest of FlightGear must be
hand-synchronized as FlightGear isn't threadsafe. The io library is
no doubt the most useful, as it exposes all the basic stdio.h
facilities; it's also frighteningly dangerous when combined with
networked code...
have no children (in which case they default to 1px thickness & stretch).
This allows to just write <hrule/> instead of <hrule><dummy/></hrule>.
One can still use <hrule><pref-height>3</pref-height></hrule>, of course.
layout.cxx: drop silly do??Box calls for hrule/vrule (yes, I wrote that :-)
discard the display part. The curly braces wouldn't be spoken anyway,
and the | would be spoken as "vertical bar", which is completely
useless (which is why it had been disabled in the past already).
"Implement 'flightplans' for AIShips. This patch also introduces the concept
of a 'WAIT' token for AIShips: when the flightplan reaches a 'WAIT', the
AIShip stops and pauses for the specified time (secs)."

Fix Y2K bug triggering string overflow
sim_control_.date_string is a char[7], so it can contain "yymmdd" and
the terminating '\0'. However, nowtime->tm_year is 107 for the year 2007,
so you'll end up with a 7 digit number and the string written to
sim_control_.date_string is longer than sim_control_.date_string is.
Ouch!

mf: ... and sim_control_.date_string isn't even used.
