[Freeciv-Dev] Re: release plans

[Artur Biesiadowski <abies@xxxxxxxxx>]

I would consider one more thing for stable release - optional packets I
was talking about some time ago. They would allow extending
server/client without breaking compatibility with new non-critical
packets like reports/autosettler hints/etc.

I'm thinking about including it in stable release to increase
probability of stable-clients working with devel-servers. Of course at
some point change in ruleset packet will occur and compatibility will be
broken, but I think that optional packets could be useful anyway.
