Second Core Release

Our second release of the FreeTrain package is now available for download. Among the features are an improved main toolbar and a functional “structure type tree” that makes building structures a breeze! This release also fixes some crashes within build dialogs when no appropriate plugins were loaded, as well as a number of minor tweaks and fixes.

It has been reported that our second FreeTrain release has a serious bug that prevents you from buying or selling trains, leaving you with only the tree starting ones. Due to the seriousness of this bug, this release has been removed from the download page. We are working hard on fixing the issue and will make a new release ASAP.

For all of you who downloaded the second release, it is advised that you get the first release instead in the meantime. The difference between the two is minimal feature-wise.
