[Freeciv-Dev] announce: techtree 3.0

[David Pfitzner <dwp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Freecivers,

I am pleased to announce version 3.0 of 'techtree', to suit
the recently released Freeciv 1.11.0.

techtree is a program to produce postscript charts of the 
"technology tree" ("advances chart") for Freeciv (and 
potentially for other games, given appropriate input data).

Main news for this version:

- Instead of reading Freeciv ruleset files directly, uses output 
  of Freeciv's 'rulesout techs' server command (new in Freeciv 
  version 1.11.0).

- Limited native language support: can handle translated input file
  (e.g., created using localized Freeciv), if the translation uses
  ISO 8859-1 ("Latin-1") character set encoding.

Find details, GPL'd source, and sample charts at:

Regards,
