OK, so as soon as the release is out, we have a list.

This reminds me of a problem with the Known Bugs section on
www.freeciv.org: it really is the HTML-reformatted BUGS file,
and therefore, does not list Known Bugs in the latest release.
In the case of 1.11.4, the broken packets / reconnection bug,
which appears to be fixed in CVS, really should be listed somewhere.

So it would be an improvement to always keep the information in NEWS
and BUGS up to date in the current CVS release; that way most questions
about existing bugs or reasons to upgrade to CVS can be answered from
those files.
