History

[hide]Pocket Edition Alpha
v0.1.3							Added info_updateGame1 and info_updateGame2 (names taken from game code).
							info_updateGame1 has text "upd ate!" and info_updateGame2 "ate! upd" such that when placed adjacent to each other, the word "update!" would be complete on one line.
v0.2.0							Any blocks with an invalid ID are replaced with info_updateGame2 on world load.
v0.2.1 alpha2							The top left pixel of the texture used for info_updateGame1 is now completely transparent, causing it to render black on the block.
							In item form, it renders transparent.
v0.5.0							With the addition of tooltips, info_updateGame1 and info_updateGame2 both display the name "tile.info_update.name<".
v0.8.0			build 2				info update's texture has been reverted.
							The texture of block 249 has been removed and the block now looks identical to block 248.
v0.9.0			build 1				Blocks with an invalid ID are no longer replaced with info_updateGame2 on world load.
v0.11.0			build 1				Blocks 248 and 249 have both been renamed to "tile.info_update.name", removing the trailing less-than sign.
