_______________________________________________________
Details:
I just deleted my ~/.freeciv-client-rc-2.3 file to simulate what a user
upgrading to 2.3.x from an earlier version would see (without having used SVN
versions in the meantime, as us devs have).
I got a load of warnings for server settings that the 2.2 RC file specifies
numerically, as numeric values are no longer accepted for
boolean/enumerated/etc settings. These settings are now at the (2.3.x)
defaults.
This is a shame, especially as some settings _are_ accepted; I guess it might
lead to an unplayable default configuration which users will have to fix up
manually when they first play (say, startpos not matching size).
Could we accept numeric settings at least when reading old RC-files? Can
2.3.x even still understand what the old numbers mean (now that they're
stored textually in files, the numbers are effectively internal and could
have changed), and will it continue to in future? (I haven't investigated
this.)
Console:
2: Didn't find '.freeciv-client-rc-2.3' option file, loading from
'.freeciv-client-rc-2.2' instead.
