Version History:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.1.1

Changes:

 - No functional changes.  Source code packaged with GPL license and the about
   box animation was replaced with an image to save space and download
   bandwidth.  The about box text and copyright notice were also changed to
   reflect the new GPL licensing.  Help file changed to include full GPL
   license text and a menu item added to the help menu to display that directly.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.1.0

Changes:
 - Modified so that VMeshRef names are now displayed on the tree view, and not
   just the VMesh names.  In addition to the MeshID and MaterialID CRCs that
   are in the VMesh file format, Freelancer seems to also take a CRC of every
   loaded .3db "file" name and only load new ones if they are different from
   what is already stored.  While a UTF editor could be used to simply rename
   these sections and the corresponding entries in the CMPND node, the
   intention was for FLModelCloner to make any UTF editing of the model file
   unnecesary.

Bug Fixes:
 - Hash lists were not being cleaned up when a new model was loaded.  Probably
   had no effect, but they are now cleared before a new model is loaded for
   safety.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.0.2

Additions:
 - Added this readme to track version changes.
 
Changes:
 - Modified about box to show exact version and build number.
 - Added copyright notice and usage restrictions to the about box text.
 
Bug Fixes:
 - The program will now be able to find the help file on its own.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.0.1

Bug Fixes:
 - CRCTRABLE resource was not included in the 1.0.0 binary.  This fixes that
   oversight.
