[Freeciv-Dev] Release of 1.8.0

[Nicolas Brunel <brunel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear freeciv team and freeciv players,

        Freeciv-1.8.0 is now available on www.freeciv.org .
For those who can't reach www.freeciv.org, use ftp 24.30.152.71.
Freeciv-1.8.0 is in /pub/freeciv.

In this release, there are many enhancements, including civil war,
space race, and a log of the game.  We have also tried to improve
the graphics of freeciv with 2 beautiful tile sets.  And, as usual,
there are lots of bug fixes!

Other general news since the previous release:

- The Freeciv website has been completely re-done ("FWNG"), and is
now being frequently updated.

- Freeciv has a new manual.  The manual is too big to include in the
freeciv distribution, so it is available separately at the Freeciv
web site and by ftp.

- Freeciv now has a map editor.  It is called Civworld, and is also
available separately at the freeciv ftp site.

Have good games and enjoy ! :)

Best regards,
