WHAT'S CHANGED SINCE 2.5.9[]
2.5.10 is a bugfix release.
Server / General[]
Changes affecting players (supplied rulesets)[]
- Fix server crashes caused by AI ferry passengers dying. HRM#721949 HRM#714453
- Client/server communication could fail when the client discovered a tile with a text label that was too long. (This could be locale-dependent.) HRM#720199
- The cost to buy "small wonders" (such as the Palace) was unintentionally twice what was intended. (This was a longstanding issue.) HRM#706727
- Capturing a unit did not count for cancelling the capturer's fortified status, nor for unitwaittime. HRM#692282
- The tutorial scenario's message about city growth to size 13 referenced a nonexistent event type. Possibly this was causing "lua error" messages. HRM#723052
- Minor nation tweaks. HRM#697681 HRM#697682
Changes affecting other rulesets / modders[]
- The values of Lua variables could fail to be loaded from savegames, if some of the saved variables referenced game objects (units, cities, etc). HRM#722287
Changes affecting server operators[]
- The /fcdb command now gives a useful error message if the server wasn't started with --auth. HRM#692525
General[]
- Sped up shared vision transfers; this helps particularly when loading savegames. HRM#723442
- Various internal changes which should only affect developers. HRM#692486 HRM#694137 HRM#661108 HRM#718497
AI[]
- Autosettlers were overvaluing roads on hex maps, and built them in odd patterns for no good reason. HRM#695738
Clients[]
- The "Turn Done" button is now disabled in fixed-length gameplay, since it serves no purpose. HRM#700675
- Messages from the server operator (/wall) now default to causing a pop-up dialog, for new client installations. (Such messages can be used for instance to warn of server shutdown; without this setting, it was not possible to see the message after the server disconnected.) HRM#690212
- Fixes to the experimental Gtk3 client:
- In the Windows build, right-click-dragging on the map caused a crash. HRM#693241
- The minimap didn't update often enough. HRM#697658
- Trouble and console warnings with middle-click popups, tooltips, etc. HRM#699488 HRM#703869
- Fix trouble with tooltip background in some Windows builds (but not the one we ship). HRM#694328
Help / Documentation[]
- Miscellaneous improvements to in-game text and user documentation. HRM#700718 HRM#700291
- Miscellaneous changes to developer/ruleset docs. HRM#696433 HRM#700290
Translations[]
- Updated translations:
- Complete translations: Russian, French, Spanish, Catalan, Polish, British English.
- Incomplete translations: Finnish (100% core, 93% nations), Esperanto (40% core, 14% nations).
