Stable release 2.5.0
Posted: Sat Mar 14, 2015 2:26 pm
18 months to the day after 2.4.0, and representing over three years of development, the next major version of Freeciv, 2.5.0, has been released.
See NEWS-2.5.0 for details of what's changed since the last stable release line, 2.4.x.
For those who tried the betas and release candidates, there's a short list of changes since RC2 (translations and graphics).
Source code is available here. Compiled Windows packages for 2.5.0 aren't available yet, but should follow shortly; in the meantime, the 2.5.0-RC2 packages are still available and almost as good.
(While 2.5 is now the main stable version, we do expect to make a final 2.4.5 release at some point, mopping up bug fixes that have been made since 2.4.4 was released.)
