This release is the first testing release in the upcoming 1.2 series of OpenTTD.It has as usual a wide range of new features new to this series:

Also NewGRFs now can display readme, changelog and license information ingame via convenient buttons from the NewGRF dialogue andcan link to their Website which will open it in your favourite browser. NewGRFauthors may want to check out the specs and changelog for NewGRF v8.
But NewGRFs of course is not all: OpenTTD now supports game scripts capable todefine goals, tutorials and similar. They can be implemented in a very similarway to current AIs.

That's still not all: You'll probably immediately notice: you can now zoom-in2x and 4x compared to previous releases; that'll allow you to enjoy the gamebetter on displays with high pixel densities.
And there's a lot of more things like rivers are now generated during mapcreation or you can opt to enable maintenance costs for your property whichallows to counter a bit the linear money increase as costs for propertyincrease more than linear with the amount of property which needs maintenance.For full list of changes see our changelog.
