Simutrans 123.0.1 released

Simutrans 123.0.1 has been released. This is a small bugfix release to address some of the bugs of the 123 release, but there are also some interesting quality-of-life changes (such as the the option to scale the screen manually).

This release brings the Steam version back in sync with the non-Steam version, so you should be able to play network games again with non-Steam players.

I've also added to the Steam release an additional soundfont (MusesCore General, named as "default.sf3") with the intention to replace PCLite.sf2 in the future, as it is lighter and sounds generally better. Both of them are included for now, so you can try switching between them.

Linux users: I'm trying a new deployment procedure to reduce the number of required libraries bundled. This may prevent the game from being launched in some distributions, so please let me know if that is the case.

Highlights of this version

• All resizeable windows get minimize button in title-bar
• Infinite mouse scrolling can be activated manually in the display settings
• Option to adjust screen scaling manually (either via display settings or '-screen_scale' command line option)
• Illegal schedule entries are highlighted and a button to clear them up will appear.
