New version v0.7.7.10

To all party members,

Small update - release of current experimental/test version as stable, worth to mention things are bugfixes (should improve stability) and workshop support for first type of items - vehicle skins.

What we are working on next?
Soon we will release on experimental/test version those features:

-small bus stop along road - it will works as classic building, so you will not able just place along existing road (you will need delete piece of road and place stop) but this building is smaller and buses and citizens can pass it

-minimap also with maps where are resources like oil, iron store in the ground, later we will add a researches for them, so you will first need to make research and geological office to see the resources in the ground

-I wanted to explore how to fix 32 bit version (version for Windows 7)- switch it to 64 bit version with older version of DirectX - to keep Windows 7 supported.. to avoid problems when your map become big.. hope we will manage that...

Further focus:

-Increasing workshop support to ability add complete vehicles and also the new landscapes, later buildings

-We will work on trolleybuses, already basic is finished but need more work and tweaks

Thanks for paying attention! Now you can continue to building your countries :-)
