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.

Remove the KillIdle thread. Add timeout to struct iop, initialized in
io_open(). Obey it in io_input() by passing it to empth_select(). If
empth_select() times out, report that back through io_input() to
recvclient() and player_login(). If player_login() receives a timeout
indication, print a message and terminate the session. If
recvclient() receives a timeout indication, flash a message to the
player and initiate a shut down the player's session.
Create WIN32 sys/time.h to define struct timeval. This creates some
conflicts with WIN32 windows.h definitions. Including windows.h in
show.c and info.c creates conflicts, so remove that. Modify service.c
to include sys/socket.h instead of windows.h to remove the conflict
with sys/time.h.
empth_sleep() return whether that happened:
[EMPTH_LWP] (lwpWakeupSleep): New, factored out of lwpSelect().
[EMPTH_LWP] (lwpSelect): Use it.
[EMPTH_LWP] (lwpWakeup): New. Call lwpWakeupFd() if sleeping in
lwpSleepFd(), lwpWakeupSleep() if sleeping in lwpSleepUntil().
[EMPTH_LWP] (lwpTerminate, empth_wakeup): Use it rather than
lwpWakeupFd().
[EMPTH_LWP] (lwpWakeupFd): Internal linkage.
[EMPTH_LWP] (lwpSleepUntil): Reset member runtime, so that lwpWakeup()
can test it reliably. Return how sleep woke up.
[EMPTH_LWP] (empth_sleep): Return value of lwpSleepUntil().
[EMPTH_POSIX] (EMPTH_INTR): New.
[EMPTH_POSIX] (empth_wakeup): Set state to it.
[EMPTH_POSIX] (empth_restorectx): Clear state.
[EMPTH_POSIX] (empth_sleep): Don't re-seleep when state is not clear,
i.e. thread was woken up prematurely. Return how sleep woke up.
[EMPTH_W32] (empth_sleep): Implement by waiting on hThreadEvent with a
timeout rather than a straight Sleep(). Return how sleep woke up.
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.
(empth_wait_for_shutdown): New.
(main): Use it to wait for shutdown signal, then shut down. Closes
#770492.
(empth_exit): Remove the weird special case for main thread.
Implement empth_wait_for_shutdown() for EMPTH_LWP:
[EMPTH_LWP] (lwpInitSigWait, lwpSigWait, lwpSigWakeup): New.
Declaration of lwpSigWait was accidentally committed in the previous
revision of lwp.h.
[EMPTH_LWP] (lwpInitSystem): New parameter waitset, pass it on to
lwpInitSigWait().
[EMPTH_LWP] (lwpReschedule): Call lwpSigWakeup().
[EMPTH_LWP] (empth_init): Declare signals needed by
empth_wait_for_shutdown().
(empth_wait_for_shutdown): Implement on top of lwpSigWait().
Implement empth_wait_for_shutdown() for EMPTH_POSIX:
[EMPTH_POSIX] (empth_init): Block signals, so that
empth_wait_for_shutdown() can use sigwait() safely.
(empth_wait_for_shutdown): Implement on top of sigwait().
Implement empth_wait_for_shutdown() for EMPTH_W32:
(empth_wait_for_shutdown): Implement on top of loc_BlockMainThread().
complete declaration to src/lib/lwp/lwpint.h.
(lwpQueue): Move to src/lib/lwp/lwpint.h.
(empth_main, empth_flags): New.
(empth_init): Initialize them.
(empth_create, empth_exit): Use them instead of lwpProc members.
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.
thread entrypoints:
(lwpSelect, shutdown_sequence): Parameters didn't match thread entry
point prototype.
(lwpEntryPoint): Arguments didn't match thread entry point prototype.
Change linkage of functions without prototype declaration to static
where possible.
Remove some superflous declarations, replace others by suitable
includes.
