Date	Event
20/12/2011	Updated the file formats document to describe the polygonal objects set and font formats for the first time, and finally completed the file structure document.
15/06/2011	Andrew Hutchings (one of the original authors of Star Fighter 3000) has created a new Xbox game "inspired by Star Fighter 3000" for the Dream.Build.Play challenge 2011. You can watch a video of his entry on YouTube.
07/05/2011	Updated the file formats document to correct obvious errors in the description of the sky file format and to describe the meaning of colour numbers.
13/02/2011	New releases of all four Star Fighter 3000 editing utilities, the significant difference being that SFSkyEdit and SFColours now estimate the true (rather than in-memory) file size on-the-fly. Removed the archives containing individual applications (the maintenance cost outweighs any benefit of smaller downloads).
30/01/2011	Fixed a bug in my command-line program gkdecomp.
29/01/2011	Published portable command-line programs to compress and decompress files using Gordon Key's compression format. Almost completely rewote the ImageFileConvert plug-in for Star Fighter 3000 bitmap graphics files: it now supports sky colours definitions and the game title screens.
09/01/2011	Replaced the decompression code in my Star Fighter 3000 music format converter with a dependency on release 40 of CBLibrary. New releases of all four desktop editing utilities (fixed a memory leak in FednetCmp and SFtoSpr). Switched to a sans-serif font to improve text readability.
03/01/2011	Updated the documention on Gordon Key's compression format.
