    Update to 0.28:

    v0.28 (release 2008.05.11):

    USER-VISIBLE CHANGES:
    - Minor text cleanups. (Phil, FM; Cory Hickey and gglouser for some fixes)
    - Minor dialog behavior fixes. (FM)
    * New non-research task: CPU Pool.  Performs maintenance, construction, jobs.
      Bases with no other task assigned will contribute to the CPU Pool. (FM)
    * New non-research task: Sleep.  Bases assigned to Sleep will remain idle and
      be harder to detect.  Note that even a computer can't sleep through
      construction. (FM)
    - The CHANGE buttons inside the base dialog now show their hotkeys. (FM)
    - The location buttons have had their on-screen positions tweaked. (FM)
    - Start location is randomized to any of the 5 available continents. (FM)
    * CPU is now used to design constructions, Cash to buy the required items, and
      Labor (time) to assemble the final construction. (FM)
    - Location and city names can now be localized. (FM)
    - Numbers automatically localize to the correct comma-vs-period usage. (FM)
    * Added a new difficulty level: Ultra Hard. (FM, emh for suggestion)
    * Build times are now difficulty-dependent. (FM)
    * The grace period applied to a new base is now difficulty-dependent. (FM)
    * The suspicion gain per discovery is now difficulty-dependent. (FM)
    - Bases in a location are now sorted by size, then name. (FM, emh for
      suggestion)
    * The global grace period now expires on Normal and above if you build more
      than a certain number of bases, and on Ultra Hard if you build certain types
      of bases. (FM)
    - Locations with recently-discovered bases are now more likely to have other
      bases discovered. (FM)
    * Base detection chances and overall suspicion are now unknown until certain
      new technologies have been researched. (Phil)
      ...except on low difficulty. (FM)
    * Incomplete bases no longer support the AI. (FM)
    - It's possible to get lucky when hacking some random computer.  (FM)
    * Seconds, minutes, and hours now matter much more than they used to. (FM)
    - Major events cause the game to pause, instead of going to real-time. (FM)
    - You can use the Enter on the numeric keypad like the regular Enter key.
      (Phil, gare for suggestion)
    * Continents are no longer identical. (FM, Phil for suggestion)
    * New continent: Australia.  Ocean moved to make room. (FM)
    * E:S now has an intro when you start a new game! (FM)
    - New item: Warning Signs.  Useful for keeping out curious people. (FM)
    - CPU display on Finance screen centered (Jorge Vargas)
    - Time capsules can now be built anywhere sufficiently remote, with varying
      degrees of stealth. (FM, emh for suggestion)
    - Internet Traffic Manipulation and Hypnosis Field techs have been rebalanced to
      better reflect their effects. (FM)
    * de_DE translation (FM, Thomas for native proofing [still in progress])
    * sv_SE translation (Anders Andersson)

    OTHER CHANGES:
    - Massive (~50%) code changes, to improve clarity and reduce duplication. (FM)
    - "safety" module should trap most crash bugs and show the pause menu, allowing
      the user to save or attempt to resume play; the errors are written to a log
      for easy submission to the developers. (FM)
    - New utility: reorder.py  Workaround for traduko's current order-scrambling
      behavior.  Use with caution. (FM)
    - Various code formatting fixes, refactor of part of the technology(/event)
      result system. (Jorge Vargas)
    - setup.py updated to support mac .app building and cut filesize of the windows
      .exe by about half. (FM)
