Freeciv 3.0.3

WHAT'S CHANGED SINCE 3.0.2​

3.0.3 is a bugfix release.

There's a vulnerability fixed in modpack installer. All users of older versions are advised to upgrade.

Default metaserver connection URL and URL used to fetch default modpack list have been updated to use https -protocol. This should cause no problems if https has been working for you all the time. However, if it was already broken (e.g. you couldn't download modpacks located on https even with earlier freeciv version), this makes the problem worse for you. The most likely cause for any problems with https is that root certificates (cacerts) are not set up properly. From freeciv side, building with the configuration option --with-cacert-path may help. In case everything else fails, we provide, for now, a .project file that you can use to build freeciv so that metaserver and modpack list default URLs still use http:

--with-project-definition=<freeciv srcdir>/bootstrap/http.project

We won't support that on freeciv-3.1.

Freeciv 2.6.4

WHAT'S CHANGED SINCE 2.6.3​

2.6.4 is a generic bugfix release.

Server / General​

Changes affecting players (supplied rulesets)​

  • Made automatic selling of coastal improvements from a city that gets landlocked to work better HRM#880455
  • Adjusted formula for barbarian band size. For nations with less than 32 cities there is no change, but bigger empires get bigger barbarian bands than they used to HRM#767126
  • Fixed postponing buildings from worklist. They were never really postponed HRM#912972
  • Combat messages show more detailed information about combatants HRM#913055
  • Fixed display of game years above 32768 HRM#918800
  • Players no longer need hack access to disable timeout any more than they need for enabling it HRM#647101
  • Fixed crash, seen on client side, when receiving extremely well compressed network packets HRM#918726
  • Send meetings initiated by AIs player is in contact with initially (thanks to dispersion server setting) to client when it is ready to handle them.

  • Corrected check that the upgraded unit will fit to its transport before upgrading it HRM#921691
  • Clients connected to the server are no longer sent to the pre-game screen when there's an (failing) attempt to load a savegame when game is already running HRM#767358
