The script is used to test if the converting is working (it takes one savegame and does some cycles of loading/saving in different formats [old/new] and compares the results). ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

Sorry if I was not clear. The changes are only for trunk (will be 2.3.0). Thus, if you playing 2.2.x you will not see any of the above discussed changes. ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
