self-intersecting paths.</p>
<p>Important changes include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Automated crate movement is now capable of discovering arbitrarily complex
paths which overlap upon themselves any number of times. This enhancement is
particularly useful for puzzles, such as <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120627234905/http://users.bentonrea.com/%7Esasquatch/sokoban/m1" title="Microban I puzzle collection">Microban I #155</a> or

self-intersecting paths. Previously, the automated crate movement mechanism
was limited to finding only non-overlapping paths.</li>
<li>Includes additional <a title="Hexoban description" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130430023650/http://users.bentonrea.com/%7Esasquatch/sokoban/hex.html">Hexoban</a> puzzles:

authors.</p>
<p>Important changes include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Added support for the new triangular-tiled Trioban puzzle format which was
invented by <a href="http://sokoban.online.fr/" title="François Marques Sokoban page">François Marques</a>.</li>
<li>
<p>Now recognizes the following pragmas in puzzle files and saved games.</p>
<pre><code>Pragma: no-high-score
Pragma: no-auto-save
Pragma: no-auto-advance
</code></pre>
<p>These pragmas may be useful for puzzle authors at design time since they
allow undesirable and annoying behaviors to be disabled during the iterative
edit-test-edit design cycle. <code>no-high-score</code> inhibits recording high scores
and prevents launch of the “New Score” panel. <code>no-auto-save</code> inhibits
automatic saving of the game when solved. <code>no-auto-advance</code> inhibits
advancement of the user’s highest level setting when a puzzle is solved.</p>
</li>
<li>Now copies meta-data from the original puzzle file to the saved game file.</li>
<li>Fixed several bugs. Incorrect scores may have been added to <code>SCORES</code> file in
some cases if a saved game was re-played. There was a case where the crate
path-finding logic did not satisfy its secondary goal of minimizing the
number of player moves. Auto-detection of even-on-even or odd-on-even format
of Hexoban puzzles did not work if meta-data appeared in the file before the
puzzle data. A file descriptor was leaked each time a new puzzle was loaded.</li>
</ul>
Now supports Trioban puzzles. Improvements for puzzle
authors.
