I have patches for this, but cannot post them yet as they live on computer currently lacking Internet connectivity. > 2) Borders system needs some work. There has been no complaints after the changes I made. Assuming this is now ok for 2.2.0-beta1 and further tweaks for 2.2.x are so small that there's no need for new mandatory capabilities. > 3) Selecting which military base to pillage Done 4) Off-line events ( https://gna.org/patch/?1280 ) >> Ruleset format freeze: > > Nobody commented that they have patches or plans for patches changing > ruleset format. We can declare ruleset format frozen? When communicating with ruleset/modpack authors, I call ruleset format frozen. Changes to ruleset format are allowed only for very heavy reasons (fixing a bug requires it) >> Network protocol freeze: >> This means no more changes to mandatory part of capstring.

My implementation of startpos changes does not require capstr changes after all. Does offline events patch require capstr change? Ticket does not say so, but compiler errors syntron is getting look suspicious. Fixing bug #13465 may require changes to capstr. It's easier, and wiser, to postpone capstr freeze in S2_2 and make it part of mandatory capability than to make it optional capability (as is required in S2_1) - ML _______________________________________________ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
