New freeciv master development branch Windows (msys2) build from sources of 04-Mar-22 (3.1.91.3-dev-220304), commit 'c2e573db07', available at http://files.freeciv.org/packages/windo ... snapshots/

This is built with my older Windows build machine (Win10). The only reason is that I've not set up 211115 msys2 environment to the new machine, as I planned to go directly to new msys2 environment there. Integrating stuff to get the new environment to use has taken more time than I anticipated (I've also taken it a bit more easy, after long streak of high activity from last autumn to 3.0.0 release), and it didn't make to this snapshot.

New freeciv master development branch Windows (msys2) build from sources of 01-Apr-22 (3.1.91.4-dev-220401), commit 'b939de0d09', available at http://files.freeciv.org/packages/windo ... snapshots/

This is the first snapshot build with the 220309 msys2 environment that contains Qt6 libraries. Consequently this is the first snapshot that has Qt6-client included. Also Qt5-client is still included, and the standalone Ruledit installer is Qt5 version. Qt5 versions are likely to get phased out in coming months.

New freeciv master development branch Windows (msys2) build from sources of 24-Jun-22 (3.1.91.7-dev-220624), commit '0194c92e69', available at https://files.freeciv.org/packages/wind ... autotools/

I would currently be especially interested about any regressions people find in Qt6-client compared to Qt5-client. If such are found, we should keep making Qt5-client builds. If not, it would save us some valuable resources to retire Qt5-client for Windows (on S3_1 & master branches)

New freeciv master development branch Windows (msys2) build from sources of 30-Sep-22 (3.1.92.1-dev-220930), commit '8b1a2d4190', available at https://files.freeciv.org/packages/wind ... eeciv-3.2/

This is the first 3.2 snapshot build with msys2 environment 220903. In addition to familiar "win64" -builds (that require at least Windows 8.1), there are now "win64-10" -builds, that use newer low-level libraries available only on Windows 10 and later.

Change log since previous snapshot build: gitlog-d8970ba3c3..8b1a2d4190.log

New freeciv master development branch Windows (msys2) build from sources of 24-Nov-22 (3.1.92.3-dev-221124), commit 'a15f1631cc', available at https://files.freeciv.org/packages/wind ... eeciv-3.2/

Change log since previous snapshot build: gitlog-22c49d56f4..a15f1631cc.log

Though the "win64-10" environment variants (requiring at least win10) are relatively recent addition even on msys2 upstream, it's now what they recommend for any Win10+ users. Freeciv has equivalent support for both old "win64" and the new "win64-10" - the difference is that as Qt6 requires Win10, we provide Qt5-client for "win64" and Qt6-client for "win64-10".
