Freeciv 2.1.0-beta2[]
- 13 Aug 2006
- The second beta for the 2.1 series of Freeciv has been released. This is a beta version, so it is expected to contain bugs; report them to bugs@freeciv.org. Download the source code here and read NEWS-2.1.0-beta2.
- Packages for Windows available for download from ftp.freeciv.org:
- Freeciv-2.1.0-beta2-win32-gtk2-setup.exe (8.4 MB)
- Freeciv-2.1.0-beta2-win32-sdl-setup.exe (6.4 MB)
- Freeciv-2.1.0-beta2-win32-setup.exe (6.0 MB)
- Package for Mac OS X Tiger (PowerPC) is available for download from ftp.freeciv.org:
- freeciv-2.1.0-beta2.dmg (20.3 MB)
Notes
- The Windows packages do not contain a Trojan horse. Your virus checker is wrong about this.
- The SDL client needs an interface theme available separately. The reason for this is that it contains potentially non-free graphics.
- The Mac OS X package includes the "normal" size of the Freeland 2.0.0 tile set.

New tileset: Freeland[]
- 25 May 2006
- A new original, high quality tileset called Freeland has been released. The author Peter Arbor has made it available in two sizes: "normal" and "big". Normal is the same size as the classic Isotrident tileset, while the big size is larger than virtually any previous Freeciv tileset.
- For 2.0 compatible versions, go to the Extras section of our download section and look under "Tilesets". A beta version for the 2.1-beta series is also available here but only the big size version for now.
- Screenshots and more information in this forum thread.
- Support in this forum thread.
