circuslinux (1.0.3-15) unstable; urgency=low

  Since version 1.0.3-5 Circuslinux! uses a shared score file. 
  From now on highscores will no longer be saved in ~/.circuslinux but in
  /var/games/circuslinux/scorefile. For configuration options the new file
  ~/.circuslinuxrc will be used.

  To merge all players' old highscores into one file, you can run:
   bash /usr/share/doc/circuslinux/merge_scorefiles.sh as root.

  Each player can then, _after_ playing this version of Circuslinux! at
  least once, delete his ~/.circuslinux file, since his configuration
  options will be saved in  ~/.circuslinuxrc. If the player decides not to
  delete ~/.circuslinux, he can still use a version of circuslinux which was
  compiled without shared scorefile support without loosing his old score-
  and config file. Circuslinux! with shared scorefile support will only read
  the old config file to get the players options if ~/.circuslinuxrc does
  not exist, but never write to this file.

  In short: don't worry, play Circuslinux! If you run low on diskspace and
  every block counts, you might tell your users to remove the old config
  file.
  
  Note: this used to be a debconf message, by placing it into NEWS.Debian,
  the translations are lost.
