Hi all,
Latest alpha is up at http://www.ttdpatch.net/src/
This one finally enables new vehicle sounds, including running sounds, by
building on the awesome foundation set by Csaba and Steven. Now grf sets
can give their trains and other vehicles fully customized sound effects,
which should greatly enhance the atmosphere of the game. If you'd like a
very rudimentary test version to preview how this works, download
http://www.ttdpatch.net/src/newgrfdemo/soundtst.grf - to use it, disable
all other train sets and then build a Kirby Paul Tank locomotive. Just to
show that it's possible, its startup and tunnel sounds will sound like
planes taking off, but the more important effect is a "clicky" running
sound plus when steam puff sounds.
Aside from this, there were again a whole bunch of bugfixes and other
improvements. For example, Csaba has greatly improved newhouses
processing, so that people with slower CPUs should have a noticable
increase in game speed.
So, enjoy the new sound effects, and let's hope many sets start using them
soon!

All changes in 2.0.1 alpha 61:
- (devel) implemented performance testing of newgrf feature var
40+x/60+x
- fixed crash if no switch defining L6 or L7 was active
- fixed train path finding problem with irregular stations if PBS
was off
- fixed crash with morestatistics if subsidiaries were off
- added morebuildoptions.bulldozesignals on to automatically
bulldoze signala when bulldozing track tiles (works with
drag-bulldoze too!)
- fixed and re-enabled vehice var 40x cache
- by stevenh: fixed playback of (broken) sample 33
- fixed bug in path finder not being able to find paths to stations
whose north tile is not a station tile
- added callback 23 to the other vehicle types
- all vehicle types now show a list of refittable cargo types
- by Csaba:
* enhancemultiplayer is now off by default
* enhancemultiplayer should play nicely together with
subsidiary management (I couldn't test it, though)
* House var 40 should be a little bit faster now (it's the most
heavily used house var)
* "Cht: PlayerID" now fails in enhanced multiplayer games
(supporting it would have meant too much work)
* Rewritten subsidiary manage code, I think it's better now.
- fixed bogus grf errors generated by cargo props 15/16
- implemented callbacks for start/tunnel/breakdown/running/touchdown
sounds
- add new feature for action 11 to import sound effects from other
grf files
- action 0 <Id> value is now an extended byte
- fixed bug with veh var 46 (motion counter) giving incorrect values
- fixed -!P+ debug switch that preserves patchsnd.dll
- rearranged and tightened patchsnd.dll, and make it fully
compatible with win2k/xp
- by eis_os: fixed overtaking problem on long stretches of one-way
roads
- fixed incorrect station tile counts when removing irrstation tiles
- fixed var 41. after removing station tiles/platforms instead of
whole station
- fixed random station triggers for irregular stations
