Code dealing with reserves mixes int and long pretty haphazardly.
Harmless, because practical reserves fit easily on any machine capable
of running the server. Clean up anyway.
Why upgrade? I'm not a lawyer, but here's my take on the differences
to version 2:
* Software patents: better protection against abuse of patents to
prevent users from exercising the rights under the GPL. I doubt
we'll get hit with a patent suit, but it's a good move just on
general principles.
* License compatibility: compatible with more free licenses, i.e. can
"steal" more free software for use in Empire. I don't expect to steal
much, but it's nice to have the option.
* Definition of "source code": modernization of some details for today's
networked world, to make it easier to distribute the software. Not
really relevant to us now, as we normally distribute full source code.
* Tivoization: this is about putting GPL-licensed software in hardware,
then make the hardware refuse to run modified software. "Neat" trick
to effectively deny its users their rights under the GPL. Abuse was
"pioneered" by TiVo (popular digital video recorders). GPLv3 forbids
it. Unlikely to become a problem for us.
* Internationalization: more careful wording, to harden the license
outside the US. The lawyers tell us it better be done that way.
* License violations: friendlier way to deal with license violations.
This has come out of past experience enforcing the GPL.
* Additional permissions: Probably not relevant to us.

It reported capital location in the nation's coordinate system instead
of the player's. Fortunately, they're the same in normal usage. They
can differ only when a deity requests a nation report for another
country.
other. Ensure headers in include/ can be included in any order
(except for econfig-spec.h, which is special). New header types.h to
help avoid inclusion cycles. Sort include directives. Remove some
superflous includes.
(nati, populace): Use it.
(populace, nati): Change hap, pct from float to double, because they
are used as double.
(nati): Print happiness needed with just two decimals, like the other
levels.
(max_pop): Use it. Don't support null argument anymore.
(nati, gen_power): Use max_population() instead of max_pop() with null
argument.
(show_sect_stats): Use max_population() to simplify the code.
(prod, upd_buildeff): Use max_population() to get correct new maximum
population for limiting work when tearing down a big city.
Previously, this was broken in upd_buildeff(). In prod(), it was
broken when the new designation had odd maximum population, which
should not occur.
them. From Marc Olzheim.
Type modifier 'l' was missing in many places, probably rendering the
server useless on 64-bit hosts.
(ef_flush, ef_write, ef_extend, lwpCreate, lwpDestroy): Use conversion
specifier 'p' to print pointers.
(check_market): Fix display of loan amount.
(doland): Fix unescaped '%' (undefined behavior).
(ldump, ndump, pdump, sdump): Don't use flag '0' with conversion
specifier 's' (undefined behavior).
(dump, ldump, lost, ndump, pdump, sdump, empth_create, update_sched):
Cast time_t and pthread_t to long for printing.
(lwpStackCheck, lwpStackCheckUsed, finish_sects): Insert cast to fix
argument type on all platforms.
(prod): Remove extra argument.
(perform_mission, airdamage, retreat_land1, lwpReschedule): Format
string missed arguments.
To save space, the ancients invented `variables': a collection of
key-value pairs, missing means zero value, space for `enough' keys.
This complicates the code, as assigning to a `variable' can fail for
lack of space. Over time, `enough' increased, and for quite some time
now `variables' have been *wasting* space. This changeset replaces
them, except in struct mchrstr, struct lchrstr and struct pchrstr,
where they are read-only, and will be replaced later. It is only a
first step; further cleanup is required. To simplify and minimize
this necessarily huge changeset, the new item[] arrays have an unused
slot 0, and the old variable types V_CIVIL, ... are still defined, but
must have the same values as the item types I_CIVIL, ...
instead of declaring them all over the place. This uncovered type
errors:
(s_p_etu, adj_update): Defined long, sometimes declared int. Kills
big endian machines where sizeof(long) != sizeof(int). Change to
int.
(set_option, delete_option, optstrset, intset, floatset, doubleset,
longset, optionset, optiondel, worldxset): Change linkage to static.
