Server / General​

Changes affecting players (supplied rulesets)​

• Allow goto to a moving transport (but not through one) HRM#647612
• Less predictable random seed supported on more platforms
  • On experimental msys2 based builds on Windows. Msys1 environment used for the official Windows builds does not provide interfaces required for this support osdn#41842 osdn#41995 osdn#42000
  • Older Linux osdn#41918 osdn#42024
• Air unit goto avoids wait for refuel when it's not necessary HRM#923677 osdn#42029
• Server does not send city info to clients in the middle of calculations where the info might be inconsistent osdn#41851 osdn#41975
• Already built buildings are purged from the worklist. They used to be just postponed osdn#41925
• Terrain changing unit activities are cancelled when climate change changes tile terrain. With the new terrain the target of those actions is not what was started HRM#899919
• Avoid endless loop with scenarios having bad starting positions HRM#767127
• Server correctly informs client when loading a savegame fails. It used to always claim that load was succesfull to the client osdn#42189

• Fixed a bug that when player providing shared vision was removed, the vision would remain for the other players HRM#883225
• Corrected bribe cost of units with build cost not multiple of ten. Especially this makes bribe cost of units with build cost less than ten not to be zero. HRM#929034

• civ1
  • Made traderoute one-time-bonus gold only osdn#42317

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

• Combat messages show more detailed information about combatants HRM#913055

• Fixed crash, seen on client side, when receiving extremely well compressed network packets HRM#918726

• 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
