This has been implemented to the extend I dreamed about, but the ticket has been given to jtn to further evaluate what more is needed. > Qt-client > > Qt-client is coming along so well that it would be a shame not to get it > to "supported client" status in 2.5.

New Qt-client related item is that I'd want freeciv-mp-qt to be in good enough shape to be used in those installations that use Qt-client, so one does not need to mix gtk-based freeciv-mp-gtk[23] to Qt system.

We have files modified from the upstream, so it's more understandable, and it's not clear if one should touch that part in stable S2_5 any more. > bug #17887: Tech prerequisites misdisplayed in help if root_req set > > For a long time this was release blocker for 2.4, until we just worked > around the need to get it done for 2.4.

About the schedule: 1) Would targeting 01-Mar-14 as datafile format freeze be ok for everyone? If yes, 2) Would targeting network protocol freeze about half a month later (15-Mar-14) be ok? If yes, 3) Would targeting beta1 couple of weeks later be ok? - ML _______________________________________________ Freeciv-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
