IMPORTANT CHANGES

1. Your existing save-games are no longer compatible with this version of TAXINAUT

   When you LOAD/CONTINUE a save-game you will be given the option to import your character into a new game. You can also just start a completely NEW GAME with a fresh character.
   

2. The file used to launch TAXINAUT on Windows has changed from taxinaut.exe to taxiwin_steam.bat

   taxinaut.exe no longer exists. If you had shortcuts to taxinaut.exe they are no longer valid. If TAXINAUT doesn't launch after the update you will have to restart Steam.
   

3. TAXINAUT is now supported on Linux

   The official supported distro is Ubuntu 24.04 but others should work fine. TAXINAUT should work on any capable platform with Java >= 17 installed on it.
   

In light of these significant changes: If there's any problems (e.g. TAXINAUT doesn't start or you don't get the import option when continuing an old save-game, please let me know!
