WHAT'S CHANGED SINCE 2.6.4[]

2.6.5 is a bugfix release. Notably it fixes regression in 2.6.4 gtk3-client that present units in city dialog had no overlays drawn at all.

Server / General[]

Changes affecting players (supplied rulesets)[]

  • Allow goto to a moving transport (but not through one) HRM#647612
  • Less predictable random seed supported on more platforms
  • Air unit goto avoids wait for refuel when it's not necessary HRM#923677 osdn#42029
  • Server does not send city info to clients in the middle of calculations where the info might be inconsistent osdn#41851 osdn#41975
  • Already built buildings are purged from the worklist. They used to be just postponed osdn#41925
  • Terrain changing unit activities are cancelled when climate change changes tile terrain. With the new terrain the target of those actions is not what was started HRM#899919
  • Avoid endless loop with scenarios having bad starting positions HRM#767127
  • Server correctly informs client when loading a savegame fails. It used to always claim that load was succesfull to the client osdn#42189
  • Game refuses paradropping to a tile with known enemy unit as that would only be certain death for the paradropping unit HRM#869995
  • Fixed a bug that when player providing shared vision was removed, the vision would remain for the other players HRM#883225
  • Corrected bribe cost of units with build cost not multiple of ten. Especially this makes bribe cost of units with build cost less than ten not to be zero. HRM#929034
  • Avoid server getting stuck when loading ruleset that has unit obsoletion loop osdn#42301
  • civ1
    • Made traderoute one-time-bonus gold only osdn#42317

  • Fixed scorelog start check to work correctly with ruleset set start year other than default HRM#820731
  • Fixed server crash when illness destroys a city. That can happen only with rulesets that enable illness for size 1 cities osdn#41959
  • Server now checks that unit's transport can hold the target unit before converting unit HRM#921940
  • Terrain transform time of zero now really disables transforming, as documented osdn#42120

General[]

AI[]

  • Better air unit handling HRM#924327
  • Better evaluate value of transports filled with cargo for the invasion attempt HRM#872215
