The configuration was cleaned up. One of PHost's most distracting points was that huge configuration file. You don't need a university degree to play with PHost -- but do you believe that in the presence of 300 configuration options?

Now, some of the very rarely-used options have been dropped. Others have been made optional so the average host need not bother with them. Ship-list specific parts can be separated out into a separate file that goes with the ship list. All in all, this allows for much shorter game configuration files.

Some options are no longer accepted:

During the 4.1 series, we will further reduce the number of configuration options. For example, there is no need to have a separate switch to turn off Hissing when you can as well assign the player a different special mission - ignoring the fact that probably nobody so far ever wanted to disable Hiss.

This is a testing version.
It may be incomplete, and have more bugs (or features) than the public live version at planetscentral.com.
