Added support for an empire configuration file so that the server can

scripts - Dave Pare
Changed flash command so that you only get flashes from your alllies if
you have toggled your flash flag on - using 'toggle flash' to
toggle your flash command on and off and documentation changed - Ken Stevens
designate command now warns you if you are spending >50% of your money
designating forts, and will ask you "are you sure?" if you are going
to go broke from it - Ken Stevens
A temporary input buffer needed a size increase in buil.c - Ken Stevens
Wish list item c5! - fixes it so you are told how much it will cost when
you are designating sectors, or converting civs to slaves, and it warns
you if you are going to go broke from it.  The server will also not let you
build, harden, or upgrade anything you cannot afford - Ken Stevens
fixed -h parameter on server ( caused crash ) - Ken Huisman
new commands added for use during navigation and unit marching - 'M' for
 drawing a map and 'B' for drawing a bmap - Ken Stevens

*version 2.0 beta 2 release 2*
Deleted some files no longer necessary.
 - deity "map" fixed - wasn't showing sector designations.
 - deity "shutdown" fixed - didn't work.
 - player "board" fixed - was loosing all mil on ships.
 - Now when you "kill" emp_server (from your unix shell), it will send
   the flash message "Server shutting down..." to all players logged on,
   it will "abort" any command they were in the middle of with the message
   "Shutdown aborted command" (like the way update aborts commands),
   it will terminate the players connection (like the way idle
   connections are terminated) and it will close all the database files.
   In other words, "kill" fromoutside the server now does the same thing
   as the deity "shutdown" command does from inside the server.
 - New player command "strength" calculates sector defense strength
   (including bonuses from reacting units but excluding air/fort/arty support).
   I think this command will help newbies set up a defense better.
 - If you've already compiled once, and you're just working on stuff in
   the server, then you can now type "compile quick" which will skip
   dependall, util, and client (and compile in about a quarter the time).

The above were all done by Ken Stevens ( I think ) on b2r1b

 - added "toggle beep" so that you can now play Empire without beeping
   every time you fire if you so choose (handy for those emergency
   updates in the department computer room).
 - "configure" now asks you where you keep your "gnumake".
 - Fixed a couple of bugs in the configure script
 - "toggle" flags moved from player to natstr so they're saved
 - fixed malloc() pointer mismatches to make cc happy
 - ported "shutdown" to Sun4
 - Julian Onions ported his econfig code to Sun4

The above are from b2r1c

The following are fixed ( as of b2r1d ):
  - The infamous "scuttle" bug.  Now the owner of units is always set
    to zero as soon as the unit is created.  (By "created" I am referring
    to when you build 1 plane and ef_extend() creates 49 more -- the owner
    of all 50 is now initialized to zero.)
  - A C_INFORM packet was being sent to the client when an announcement was
    made.  Oopsie on my part.  Now fixed.
  - "fortifying" a unit no longer clears the unit's mission.
  - New script "keepitup" is a modified isempireup except that you don't
    have to put any info about the game in the file itself, so if
    you're like me and you have more than one game running, you now only
    need to keep one script around.

b2r1e patch moved files from util into old/util

b2r1f contained the following:
This patch was submitted by Julian Onions.
 - General option handling, + BLITZ option changes
   throughout.  There is one new file lib/global/options.c which has the 
   option definitions in.
 - The following options are now dynamically switchable
   NOFOOD, BLITZ, EASY_BRIDGES, RES_POP, NEW_WORK, 
   NEW_STARVE, NO_PLAGUE, NEWPOWER ALL_BLEED, DRNUKE
   SUPER_BARS, NUKEFAILDETONATE, PINPOINTMISSILE
 - also fix up a stupid test in laun.c, and some reworking of the
   SHIPNAME (plus a bug fix for Sub launched SHIPNAMES).

b2r1g fixed a bug in b2r1f.
b2r1h moved a file from old/util back to util
b2r1i contained the following:
This patch was submitted by Julian Onions.
 - The following options are now dynamically switchable
   FUEL, ORBIT, NEUTRON
 - The new file README/README.config describes how to use the new "econfig"
   runtime configuration stuff..
 - Now when you type "version", you will also get the patchlevel of
   the code.

b2r1j contained the following:
This patch was submitted by Kevin Morgan.
 - xdist and ydist are now in player coordinates (wish list item i2)
 - emp_client now calls termio until all bytes have been copied into
   the socket (wish list item x19).

b2r1k contained the following:
This patch was submitted by Sasha Mikheev.
 - This patch ports lwp threads to Linux.

b2r1l contained the following:
This patch was submitted by Julian Onions.
 - Options NOMOBCOST and GRAB_THINGS are now runtime configurable.

b2r1m contained the following from Ken Stevens:

WARNING: Although I have heavily tested the code, I'm sure that it still has
a significant number of bugs.

This patch contains the following changes:
 - fixed a bug in configure which was not making compile a csh script which
   resulted in grep not working.
 - shipdamage() now always multiplied by 63/m_armor.  I made the
   appropriate changes to all places that call shipdamage().  Also,
   shipdamage() will now tell the player exactly how much their ship
   was damaged.
 - a new function mpr(cnum, format, args) will pr() to cnum if they
   are player and send them a telegram otherwise.
 - sail, autonav, and nav now all call the same functions.  Thus mine
   damage and interdiction damage are now calculated using exactly the
   same formulas.  This makes heavy use of mpr().
 - navigation now has two more lcommands.  "i" will list the ships you're
   navigating, and "f" will change the flagship.
 - Now you can type commands like this:
   nav 72 jlsruMluBursh
   That is, you can mix directions with other navigation commands.
 - Interdiction of navigating ships now works as follows:
   1. Forts interdict.
   2. If there are any ships left, land arty interdiction fires.
   3. If there are any ships left, ships on interdiction fire.
   4. If there are any ships left, interdiction missiles fire one at a time.
   5. If there are any ships left, interdicting planes pinbomb.
 - I'm sure that I've made some changes which have slipped my mind

b2r1n contained the following from Ken Stevens:

WARNING: Although I have tested most of the new code, I'm sure that it
still has a significant number of bugs.

This patch contains the following changes:
 - I went through all of the Empire info pages and updated them to
   match the current code.  I completely rewrote large portions of the
   following info pages: "move", "bomb", "launch", "navigate", and
   "Plane-types".
 - Fixed a bug in the "configure" script which was resulting in a pile
   of "kw_read" erros in the logfile.
 - Changed the logfile output to make it much easier to read.  Note:
   this will break current logfile parsers.  I'll rewrite any that people need.
 - It is now possible to specify start-tech/happ/research/edu in
   econfig (Thanks Julian!).  I'm using this in my blitz to start
   countries at tech 100.
 - When things are damaged by interdiction, the sector they were
   moving into will suffer collateral damage.
 - Surface missiles can now be put on interdiction mission.  To
   distinguish them from anti-ship missiles, the latter have been given
   "marine" capability.
 - Planes and missiles can now hold at most one nuclear warhead.
 - Nuclear warheads on planes and missiles will now detonate when that
   plane or missile flies an interdiction mission.
 - I have removed the "n" option from the "bomb" command.  If you want
   to nuke something, just arm the plane with a nuke and bomb "s".  This
   simplification makes the above change consistant with "bomb".
 - When you launch a satellite, then any country AT_WAR with you will
   try to intercept it with a-sats.  This uses exactly the same code as
   abm defense - two missiles are fired.  Also, if a satellite is
   positioned over a sector which is not owned by your ally, then they
   will get a telegram informing of the positioning.
 - missiles on missions will stop launching once 100 damage has been
   done (in the case of surface interdiction) or all the ship s have been
   sunk (in the case of ship interdiction).
 - deliver now costs the same as distribute (4x cheaper).
 - there is now only one function called to determine whether a plane/missile
   hits its target and how much damage is done (this includes abms and
   asats).  Thus the chance of a plane hitting its target is now the same
   whether the plane was flying a mission or flown by hand.  The only
   exception to this is pinbombing land units where interdicting planes
   have a 100% chance of hitting unlike pinbombers flown by hand which
   have a chance of missing.  I plan to fix this later.
 - many functions were rewritten to use mpr() instead of pr().  mpr()
   checks to see if the person is interactive, and if they are calls
   pr(), and otherwise calls wu().  All PR() functions should really
   be changed to mpr() but I'm too lazy to do it.  Also, I'm sure that I
   missed a few pr()'s and so the server may still occassionally try to
   pr() to a player not logged on.
 - I used lint to remove alot of unused variables, declare some
   functions void, and fix unsigned char comparisons with zero.

b2r1o contained the following from Ken Stevens:

WARNING: Although I have tested most of the new code, I'm sure that it
still has a significant number of bugs.

This patch contains the following changes:
 - Added "Friendly" relations--you can nav/load/unload in friendly harbours.
   See info Empire2 or info relations.
 - Changed the order of relations so now you can write code like
   if (rel < FRIENDLY) ... or ... if (rel >= HOSTILE)
 - Cap sacking now makes the news.
 - Fixed a bug in sub interdiction (bug introduced by me in r1n).
 - Fixed a bug in supply code (introduced by Julian in r1f).
 - Moved relation-change stuff out of decl.c and into subs/rej.c setrel().
   So now, no matter how a country becomes hostile, both parties will
   get a tele and it will make the news.  Also, much of this code was
   simplified using the new heuristic that bad rel is always < good rel.
 - Changed spy output.  New headers are:
   sect   type own oldown eff  civ  mil  shl gun  pet food bars units planes
 - Changed all relevant info pages.
 - Completely rewrote info relations.
