Beta: 2.5 beta 3

Hi all,

Beta 3 is now available at http://www.ttdpatch.net/src/

With a few rather annoying bugs in beta 2 (including industries constantly
closing down), the fixes needed to come out a bit quicker than last time,
so here it is.  Again lots of bug fixes; we actually seem to be making
some headway now, the bugs get fixed faster than new ones appear :)

Just a quick reminder (since I've been getting this question so many times
lately), if you try the betas and suddenly have lots of GRF files giving
sprite errors with code 24, you need to put
"experimentalfeatures.mandatorygrm off" in ttdpatch.cfg to disable
mandatory GRF resource management, which these files are incompatible with.

In other news, TTDPatch now has a Subversion repository (graciously hosted
by Owen Rudge), so if you like you can now try even more cutting edge
versions of the patch by checking it out from
svn://svn.ttdpatch.net/trunk/ or browsing at http://svn.ttdpatch.net/ .

Enjoy,
Josef
