New Maintainers 20 August 2004
 
Congratulations to Mateusz Stefek who has recently joined the ranks of Freeciv maintainers. You may know him for his longtime work on the Polish translation, for his many internationalization improvements and bug fixes, and for his recent work on improving savegame compatibility between modpacks. A belated congratulations is also sent out to James Canete, who has been co-maintaining the Windows (win32) client for some time now.

Freeciv Forums 17 May 2004
 
We have installed forums locally for your use. There was a serious lack of traffic on the non-development mailing lists for Freeciv as the "Net" culture has moved away from mailing lists and toward web forums. Please enjoy and send complaints to /dev/null...

Freeciv is back 04 March 2004
 
There was a catastrophic failure of some Freeciv hardware that caused an extended downtime. I apologize for all the turns that were missed. We are now up and running on new hardware, but the maintenance is far from complete. You should find most of the things you need, but please be patient while we restore everything.
