 Pipes come in two variants: one type bears one or more dark windows on each 
 pipe, suggesting they're empty, while the other type bears green-tinted 
 windows, as if full (the two colors should also be easy to select if you want 
 to change them in a paint program).  These windows only appear on straight 
-lengths and on T-junctions.

 Changelog
 ---------
 
+2012-08-19: Pumps and valves now fully participate in the 
+auto-rotate/auto-place algorithm.
+
 2012-08-18: Total rewrite again.  All pipes are now nice and round-looking, and 
 they auto-connect!  Also added temporary nodes for pump and valve (each with an 
 on/off setting - punch to change).  No crafting recipes yet and the pipes still
