Changes:
1.14.0:
=======
- Unique city names, you no longer can name your cities the same,
and you can enforce unique city names globally (optional).
- A new map generator (generator 5) which creates pretty fractal
maps.
- You can load savegames from the server prompt.
- You can save client commandline defaults.
- Specialists are taken from content citizens first, instead of from
unhappy citizens first. This makes it more difficult to quell unrest
using taxmen and scientists.
- You now start with no technologies by default, and angry citizens
are enabled by default, although they will rarely make an apperance.
- The algorithm used for calculating the effects of tax settings has
been changed. It is now no longer possible to get 100% effect from
60% choice of tax goal.
- A new, historically more correct version of the rulesets included.
- There is an option to require several turns of rapture/celebration
before it takes effect. See "show rapturedelay" in server.
- The sequence of some end of turn activities have been regrouped.
- Several AI improvements. It should now build and buy units and
buildings slightly more intelligently.
- Many internal code improvements that will lead to more features
later.
- /fix and /unfix commands to stop modifications after game has
started.
- The server commands "rulesout", "log", "freestyle" and "crash"
have been removed, while "rfcstyle" now toggles between rfcstyle
and freestyle.
- civ2 ruleset now more accurately reflects civ2 deity level defaults.
- A truly massive amount of bugfixes.
1.13.0:
=======
- Citizen Management Agent (CMA) allows you to automate workers
and specialists in cities.
- Sound support has been added.
- The new "isotrident" tileset has been made the default. The
"hires" and "engels" tilesets have been taken out of the
distribution but can be downloaded from the web page.
- New city dialog in the gtk client.
- Windows version of the client. It has improved connection
dialog and supports loading and saving from the client.

- The client will try to suggest names for your cities that
correspond with what they mean.
- Improved players dialog shows sortable and colored information,
including the players' flags.
- Server no longer takes the --server command line option,
instead you can use the --info option to set the metaserver
announcement text to whatever you like. The -a option when given
to the client skips the connection dialog entirely.
- A "wall" server command added which gives message to all players.
- A new flexible timeout set through "timeoutinc" server option.
- Leftover research bulbs will carry over to next advance.
- Trade routes are more effective.
- Units attacking ships in cities double their firepower, while
defenders get only 1 firepower.
- Helicopters defending against air units get 50% penalty, and
have their firepower reduced to 1 against fighter units.
- You can build city walls even though you have Great Wall wonder.
- The Communism government's food cost in default ruleset has
been changed to 1, while it has been changed to 2 for the Civ2
ruleset.

partially invisible just like subs. Also, stealth bombers have
increased their attack strength from 14 to 18.
- Civ2 ruleset now has Fundamentalism.
- Improved modpack abilities: The caravan ability has been split.
New ways to calculate technology costs. Better documentation.
Rulesets can specify starting techs. You can have more than one
bonus tech. Split settler abilities. Buildings ruleset syntax
has been significantly extended, but effects do not work yet.
- Server option "tinyisles" allow 1x1 size islands and
"separatepoles" allow continents connected to the poles
- "citymindist" specify minimum distance between cities, while
"notradesize" and "fulltradesize" regulate the trade generated
by smaller cities.
- You can turn on angry citizens with "angrycitizens" option.
- Fortresses may give you extended vision. See watchtower options.
- If you lose your palace, you get a new one for free in a
randomly chosen city. This behaviour can be turned off with the
server option "savepalace".
- Rulesets are now loaded from inside the server through the
"rulesetdir" command.
- The limit on the number of nations that can be included with
Freeciv has been removed.
- The format of the isometric tileset spec-files has changed.
- The map and ai code has been cleaned up significantly.

to 1.12.0. Major changes from version 1.11.4 include:
- Big fixes, of course.
- Better compatibility with Civilization II.
- Better internationalization.
- Prettier graphics/tiles.
- More maps.
- Players can agree to give shared vision, which means that you
automatically see everything the other player sees.
|
|
include it to include bsd.pkg.mk themselves. Convert to use buildlink.mk
files and mark freeciv packages as USE_BUILDLINK_ONLY. Include zlib's
buildlink.mk file in server and clients as -lz is used.
|
|
adapt by moving CPPFLAGS settings to top-level, and removing explicit
inclusion of CPPFLAGS into MAKE_ENV and CONFIGURE_ENV.
|
|
and remove build dependency on autoconf: we now install the locale files
properly under ${PKGLOCALEDIR}.
|
|
|
|
+ move the patch digest/checksum values from files/patch-sum to distinfo
|
|
first component is now a package name+version/pattern, no more
executable/patchname/whatnot.
While there, introduce BUILD_USES_MSGFMT as shorthand to pull in
devel/gettext unless /usr/bin/msgfmt exists (i.e. on post-1.5 -current).

WHAT'S CHANGED SINCE 1.11.0:
- Readline support added to the server.
- May now disperse initial units over specified area. See "dispersion"
server option.
- May now arrange for first client to connect to have a higher cmdlevel
than the following clients. See "cmdlevel" server option.
- Save files now transparently (un)compressed when (loaded) saved.
- Now requires a minimum number of ocean tiles to be adjacent to a land
tile wished to be transformed into ocean. Default is 1.
- Added Nuclear Fallout. Industrialization and population still
generate Pollution. Dropping a Nuke generates Nuclear Fallout, which
is distinct from Pollution. There is a new command to clean Fallout
vs. cleaning Pollution. Fallout contributes to Nuclear Winter --
which also changes terrain, but tends to Desert, Tundra and Glacier.
Added a new "cooling" icon to the info area to indicate the progress
towards Nuclear Winter, and also an icon for Fallout on the main map.
AIs are now more aggressive at cleaning up Pollution, but not Fallout.
- Ported to OpenVMS.
- Moved most of the dependencies on the "civstyle" server option to
separate values in game.ruleset files.
- Fixed bugs in "turns to build" displays.
- Fixed bug whereby Diplomat/Spy investigations of cities did not
reveal the correct supported and present unit lists.
- Fixed multiple bugs in go-to code.
- Fixed bug where starting a revolution, saving the game and restarting
the server would allow switching governments without anarchy.
- Fix bug that you could paradrop into cities you were at war with even
if they contained enemy units.

stop in cities/airfields/etc. to get there.
