Yes, it is attached a patch against freeciv-1.12.0 (and includes the previous
patches).  
I added a first_message field in the techs ruleset.
It is displayed by the server every time that a player is the first to 
research a tech.
I also added a cheesy message for gunpowder.
first_message = _("Game: Nations tremble in fear of your new weapons.")
I did not send the message to the client as part of the tech rules since I 
could not think of any reason to do so.
I am not sure if it internationalized properly.

Rats, and I had just thought of the perfect message:
"Computer's computational power causes scientists to rapidly discover new 
 technology.  Creation of freeciv returns progress to normal." ;-)
