What's new in 1.2 ? - bug removed while opening the preferences file. - PICT resources reduced to 16 bit. - some code added to support Roman languages. - added Italian menus, dialogs, texts. - better poker pictures for aces, jacks, queens and kings. I changed these symbols to PICTs, because in Briscola 1.0 and 1.1 I used bitmap system fonts and they were badly rendered if you have Espi Sans as system font, as Aaron or Kaleidoscope set at startup. - even with Trevisan cards the winning ones are inverted now. - background and font even changed at the end of the game. - the pack on the table is "deep", so that you can guess how many cards remain in it. - sounds are now asynchronous. - some minor bugs removed.
