    v1.2.7.0 (2010-07-11)
    * Simulation
      Superelevation is now simulated. In previous versions, the train would
      simply roll around its z-axis, while now, one wheel is actually
      elevated on banked curves.
    * Simulation
      The cant interpolation algorithm has been rewritten to make use of
      monotone cubic interpolation. This makes the train tilt on banked
      curves much more smoothly than before, when linear interpolation was
      used.
    * Simulation
      The simulation of track inaccuracy has been overhauled. Aside from the
      previous horizontal and vertical offsets, cant is now irregular as
      well and lets the train shake to the sides. If the level of track
      accuracy changes from one block to the next, interpolation is now
      used, where before, the axles could make sudden jumps.
    * Simulation
      The fly-by cameras now focus on the front car of the nearest train.
      Previously, the fly-by cameras would only focus on the player's train
      and shifted focus from the front car to the rear car on approach.
    * Simulation
      When using the Jump to Station command, a previously derailed train
      will now be on the tracks again.
    * Interface
      Keys and joystick buttons now employ key repeat, meaning that holding
      down a key or button will trigger the associated event multiple times
      until the key or button is released again. The default delay and
      repetition intervals are 500 and 100 milliseconds, respectively, and
      can be customized in the options.cfg file.
    * Developing routes
      The new Options.CantBehavior command allows to change the way cant
      works in the Track.Curve command. The default behavior is that cant is
      unsigned, i.e. the sign is ignored and the superelevation is always
      towards the curve center, and that cant cannot be applied on straight
      track. The new behavior is that cant is signed, i.e. inward banking or
      outward banking can explicitly be set up, and that cant can also be
      applied on straight track.
    * Developing objects
      Animated objects can now show the timetable as set up by CSV/RW
      routes.  See the SpecialTexture parameter in the documentation for the
      [Object] section. This allows to integrate the custom timetable as
      part of the 3D cab geometry.
    * Developing trains
      The [DigitalGauge] section in the panel2.cfg was previously confined
      to angles that did not span across the 6 o'clock position, i.e. angles
      between -180 and 180 degrees. This limitation has been overcome now
      due to a rewrite of the code that creates the individual triangles
      that make up the LED square.
    * Sound
      When a train starts from standstill or when the camera is moved in
      sound range of a train, all run sounds of all cars start playing
      simultaneously. This leads to an undesired echo effect. To counteract
      this effect, track positions are assigned at which the run sounds
      start playing from the start, thus asynchronizing the car run sounds
      again. This is not done regularly, but only when considered necessary.
    * Bugfix
      Cant was ignored on curves if the CantInMillimeters parameter in
      Track.Curve was a single character in length.
    * Bugfix
      Some animated objects would stop being updated if jumping backward in
      time, for example when using the Jump to Station command.
    * Bugfix
      Animated objects were not updated at the beginning of the simulation
      until RefreshRate seconds had passed. Similarily, Route Viewer and
      Object Viewer were also affected whenever they reloaded content.
    * Translations
      Added translations for the Catalan (ca-ES) and Romanian (ro-RO)
      languages.
    * Experimental (Simulation)
      Custom timetables that can be set up by route developers are now
      available in all trains. Previously, only trains where custom
      timetables were explicitly enabled could show them. For trains which
      explicitly support custom timetables, the timetables are shown as part
      of the 3D scenery (just as before), while for non-supported trains,
      they are shown as part of the UI overlay (and then can be scrolled
      using Shift+Up and Shift+Down just as with the default timetables).
      Please note that this feature might undergo changes or be removed in
      future versions of openBVE.
    * Experimental (Developing routes)
      The Train.Timetable command now accepts files that are relative to the
      Object folder in addition to the previous model of interpreting files
      relative to the current train's folder. Please note that this feature
      might undergo changes or be removed in future versions of openBVE.
