Software update: OpenRCT2 0.0.6

You wouldn’t tell by the version number, but the fifth stable release of OpenRCT2 has been released. OpenRCT2 is the open source version of RollerCoaster Tycoon 2. The project tries to resemble the original as much as possible, but is written in a modern language which allows for extensions and improvements. It is similar to, for example, OpenTTD. In order to play it, it is necessary to have the original game, because it needs, among other things, the images. The changelog for this release shows the following changes and improvements:
