 V1.2

 - "undo" and "restart game" functions are avalaible
 - in the level editor order of levels can be changed using drag&drop
 - digit number has been reduced to three

 Thanks to Andreas Kuerzinger and Juergen Urbanek for suggestions.

 V1.1

 - bug fix: if the options were saved with players set to two then, after
   running the game again, first move automatically changed to player two
 - bug fix: sometimes on the menu bar appeard weird junks. We're not
   exactly sure why it happened but it could be caused by a small error
   in function reading the catalog. Lets hope it's fixed now
 - in the game window a pretty smiling face has appeared :)
 - few changes in the level edit window: two new buttons ("Undo this"
   and "Undo all"), automatic gadget activation after pressing Enter and
   deactivation of gadgets when no level is selected
 - in the highscore list there's ten entries instead of five
 - last highscore entry is now bolded

 reports.
