Yet another alpha version is available at http://www.ttdpatch.net/src/

Again, most people won't know the difference, because most of the changes 
are related to implementing the new station graphics.  Getting closer and 
closer there...

The only changes which might be noticable is that if graphics files 
encounter an error condition, they will normally no longer display an 
error popup, but rather that message will be shown in the GRF Status 
Window from TTD's toolbox menu.  Only fatal errors will show popup 
messages.

Josef.


All changes in 2.0.1 alpha 22:
- stations props 0C and 0D are now bytes, but now they work properly
- added station prop 0B to set callback flags
- added station callback 13 to check whether station should be
  available in construction menu
- new station props 0E and 0F to set and copy station layouts
- added station special var 40, which may be more convenient than
  altering the station layout
- station prop 09 can now redefine only some tiles and use TTD's
  layout for others without having to copy it
- added WAYP class for new stations, when these stations are built
  they will never accept or receive any cargo, and trains won't stop
  even without using the nonstop switch
- made new stations multiplayer and AI compatible (though the AI
  will never build new stations, now it won't do so accidentally)
- fixed helicopter rotor override which was broken for a long time
- allow random graphics for stations
- record construction date of stations and allow var.action 2 to
  access it (this caused the previously defined variables to change)
- allow grf to change station class desc (textids C0xx)
- grf error messages are now only shown as popups if they occur
  during initialization or if they are fatal errors, all other
  messages and warnings are stored and displayed in the GRF status
  window

Wow sounds like the newstations feature will be even better than expected.
