MaNGOS 0.0.3  (Nov 15, 2005)

 MaNGOS 0.0.3 - Codename "Mango Carpet" - was mainly a bug fix release, which
 never was published on the web, and just marks a point in development where
 a damn lot of bugs had been fixed, but we still felt the need for further work
 to be done before a release could be pushed to the world.

MaNGOS 0.0.2  (Oct 31, 2005)

 MaNGOS 0.0.2 - Codename "Library" - adds another bunch of improvements, bug
 fixes and major enhancements to the overall functionality of the daemon. A
 complete list of all updated items follows below:

 ==== Game Features ====
 * Added support for area exploration.

 * Fixed character logout. Players can only log out when not in combat.
 * Fixed friends and ignore lists.
 * Fixed game objects to have proper sizes.
 * Fixed item swapping.

 * Added support for building with 1.7.x protocol. Use the 1.7.x build configurations in Visual Studio or --enable-17x switch on Linux.

 * Fixed ZThread build process.
 * Fixed segmentation fault on zone map test due to access of array out of bound. Also, change m_ZoneIDmap to use bitset instead of the 4 bytes bool.
 * Fixed memory leak problems. The creation of new TYPE[] must delete with [] for correctness otherwise n-1 members are leaked.

 ==== Statistics ====

 MaNGOS 0.0.1 - Codename "Endeavour" - contains a great number of new features,
 improvements and bug fixes. The following list contains all of them:
