0.8.0.10:0 — bundle Station Master v0.8.0.10

Playtest fixes. The Superintendent is no longer asked to rule on a train
BEHIND the one departing — which cost a real game a collision, since holding
the departing train kept the only A/D track full and the train behind it
arrived into that. The screen names the player whose move it is showing while
the board catches up, the history no longer runs ahead of it, a Realignment
says which card it converted and flashes it on the map, a ruling made by
holding the office says so, and a seated player can download their own game
as a save file.

GAMES IN PROGRESS OFTEN WILL NOT RESUME, deliberately: a save replays through
the current rules, so a game holding a ruling the rules no longer ask for is
refused at that move. The server logs which move and leaves the file alone;
re-installing 0.8.0.9 finishes such a game. Measured at 28 of 40 recorded
four-seat games. Jesse's call: ship it. The release notes say so in all five
locales, and README and instructions.md carry the warning.

Solitaire runs entirely in your own browser and needs nothing from the server, so it works here
exactly as it does on the public Station Master site.
**What changed in 0.8.0.10. GAMES ALREADY RUNNING ON THIS SERVER MAY NOT RESUME** — this update fixes a
rule, and a saved game is replayed through the current rules, so a game that contains a decision the rules
no longer ask for stops at that point. Nothing is deleted: the server says which move it stopped at and
keeps the file, and re-installing 0.8.0.9 lets such a game be played out.
**The fix is worth it.** The Superintendent was being asked to rule on a train BEHIND the one leaving,
which is nobody's concern — and holding the leaving train kept the only arrival track occupied, so the
train behind arrived into it and was destroyed. A train moving away behind you no longer holds you up
either.
**Watching other players is clearer.** While your board catches up on everyone else's moves, the screen
names the player whose move you are watching rather than whoever the game is really waiting on, and the
history no longer runs ahead of the board — each line appears as its move is drawn, with Skip still
showing everything at once. The name on the Division map is readable again. A Realignment now says which
card it converted, and that card flashes on the map as it changes. A move made by holding the
Superintendent's office says so, and no line names a player twice.
**You can save a multiplayer game to a file.** The **Save replay** button on the play screen now works in
multiplayer as well as solitaire, and writes the game to your Downloads folder — the same save the Manage
Game action hands back as text.
**What changed in 0.8.0.9. Games already running on this server are not affected** — they resume
normally; no rule changed.
