3.4.0.178 
Clicking the left button on the combat planner no longer hides the combat planner. 
3.4.0.177 
Added 'Slow' Opart 3 - Slow (Should work with XP and processors back to the PII or PIII.) 
Added Windows 98 Opart 3 - It shoud work now. I can load and save files. I didn't try PBEM. 
Made incompatible with old saves - This was because of the extra visibility in 173. 173 won't load 177. 
Added more logging on startup - I moved where the loaw_log is initialized to sooner in the process to add more logging for catching errors on why some people can't run. 
3.4.0.176 
inventory and replacements dialog not showing in PBEM mode 
Local reserve wasn't working 
VCR Playback -Tooltips weren't showing both lines 
Changed INF to AP in the tooltip 
3.4.0.175 
Italian was crashing because the unit icon description was longer than 19 characters 
Modified Elmer behavior so that if a formation objective has a value and isn't owned, then it will be considered enemy occupied by that formation instead of looking at the percent it's occupied. This can be turned off as experimentalai=N in the ini file. This fixes an issue with one scenario, and in general seems like a reasonable idea that's not likely to break things. 
3.4.0.174 
Bad ToolTipColor 
Silvercolor was reversed. 
Some language elements not being reloaded from the exe file. 
Spelling Error in OOB - proficiendy
