Changes to Empire 4.2.21 - Sat Jun 18 17:33:07 UTC 2005
* Fix board mil duplication. Broken in 4.2.14.
* Fix stack smash in lrange, shoot and execute. Remote holes, and
the last one doesn't even require authentication.
* Fix crash bug in emp_config parsing.
* Fix shutdown second argument.
* tele and turn now abort on EOF.
* Fix buffer overruns in turn and shutdown.
* Fix display of MOTD and game down message of maximum size.
* Correctly support telnet line termination on input. Previously,
carriage returns could slip into ship names and such.
* Fix flash not to lie about recipients that are just logging in.
* Remove obscure login command list.
* Convert client from obsolete termcap to terminfo, and clean up
terminal handling.
* Rename info topics so they don't just differ in case. Rename deity
command hidden to peek because its info topic clashed with that of
option HIDDEN.
* New fairland option -h to print usage information. Improved
command line syntax diagnostics. Exit unsuccessfully on unknown
options.
* fleet and army now copy retreat orders of the fleet's or army's
first member with group retreat orders in the same sector.
Previously, they used the retreat orders of the first fleet or army
member, which is less than useful, and failed to take ownership
into account, which is an abusable bug.
* New xdump nation.
* Fix xdump not to disclose other countries' losses.
* Fix exit status of files program when it can't create files.
* Support UTF-8 encoded Unicode in human-human communications. This
affects MOTD, game down message, telexes, announcements and flash
messages. See doc/unicode for technical details.
* New login command `options' for client/server option negotiation.
See doc/FIXME for technical details. The only option so far is
UTF-8.
* emp_client -u now requests UTF-8. This requires a terminal that
understands UTF-8.
* Fix news for defensive land unit support.
* Properly mark seamines hit by retreating ships. Unmark mines
cleared by bridges.
* Fix diagnostics for unknown selector names in conditionals. Broken
in 4.2.20.
* Fix selector name clashes: rename ship selector mobquota to mquota,
land selector for reaction range limit from rad to rmax.
* Fix Windows services for relative file names on command line or in
econfig. Broken in 4.2.20.
* econfig keys ship_grow_scale, plane_grow_scale and land_grow_scale
are now loat. This gives deities finer control over maximum
efficiency gain.
* Fix production command for sectors with 60% efficiency.
* Improve syntax of read for deities.
* Code cleanups.
* Some info topic names differed only in case, which loses on
case-insensitive filesystems, and is a bad user interface even when
it works. Change those names.
* Documentation fixes.

with the highest-numbered unit were interdicted. A marching

Other programs only support -e. Remove option -D. Use -e
DIR/econfig instead of -D DIR.
* New server option -v shows version information.
* Fix the server's exit status with -h broken in 4.2.19.
* Fix the server's exit status with -h. Broken in 4.2.19.
* The linux-pthreads build failed to shut down on signals.
* Fix threading bugs in the native Windows build that made shutdown
unsafe and screwed up update aborting commands.
