The current nightly shows the things to come for the new
simutrans graphical user interface. Apart from the focus, which allows near fully keyboard operation of all dialogues, there is now a stick button in the window title. Sticky windows will not close on backspace: very helpful to get rid of error messages during lengthy management operations. Or to have always a map window open.
And the new GUI allows even for skinable scrollbars. Here is a screenshot of a different theme at work.

This release is a mostly bugfix version… one new thing is the recoloring tool, which can be used to add easily player colours to your graphics. It’s recommended to upgrade.
You can download it here. The source code is also available VS site.
A new version of Simutrans-Experimental is available today: Simutrans 102.3 Experimental 8.1. This version is a bugfix release dealing with a number of issues reported in previous Simutrans-Experimental releases.
It doesn’t incorporate many of the GUI changes from the latest versions of Simutrans standard, but does incorporate a few of the more critical fixes from Simutrans-Standard.
Frank, one of the project managers, has compiled a CD with almost all Simutrans stuff available for the latest version released (102.2.2)
It includes the binary and several paksets like pak64, pakgerman, pakHAJO, pak128, pak128.Britain, pak32.comic, pak192.comic, pak.ttd and pak128.german.
Now you can burn a CD or load it into a USB stick and take it wherever you want. Dowload it here.

A new version of pak32.comic, v0.8.1, has been released. It includes just some little updates like a new industry chain (Farm – Windmill -Market), some new diesel locos and a more compact menu to play on 640×480 resolution. Remember that this pakset is specially recommended for small screen devices like smartphones.
You can download it here.
It’s a non official release but Simutrans, using SDL, seems to compile very easily with the AmigaOS 4 SDK, so thanks to thematic’s effort, now Simutrans 102.2.x is available for AmigaOS 4.
You can dowload the binaries of Simutrans at aminet.net. and there’s also a Simutrans Experimental v7.3 version available for downloading here. More details at Simutrans International Forum.
A new version of Simutrans-Experimental is available today: Simutrans 102.3 Experimental 7.3. This version is an interim release pending the next main release, Simutrans-Experimental 8.0, which will fix the automatic convoy replacer feature (right now disabled), enable depots that can only build certain types of vehicles (e.g., steam, diesel, sail, etc.), and improve compatibility with saved games.
That means all the errors with long vehicles shaving station roofs are gone (mostly). Watch the difference for instance with the pak128.Britain demo savegame.
This feature (and accompanying bugs) is integrated in nightlies taken from revision 3151 (or greater):
Since more than a month ago, the nightly compilations were built from the stable branch without network features. As the stable version has been already released, the nightlies are built from trunk again. Therefore Dwachs, one of the main developers, has announced that nightlies from the nightly downloadpage contain the network features again!
If you want to help us improving the network mode by discovering and reporting bugs, please download and test the new nigthlies!

Several days after the new Simutrans release, here comes a new version of pak128 for v102.2.2.
This new release brings many new factories that replace old items, an airplane set, new airport graphics and objects, trucks and improvements to menus as other small updates and bug fixes.
You can download it at Simutrans SF site.
