   a city.
 - The AI now utilizes diplomats/spies aggressively.
 - Added a variant (1) of Michelangelo's Chapel.

 - No longer will cities with exactly 0 (zero) production surplus be given
   a "free" shield every turn.
 - Command-line arguments made more consistent between server and client.

   trade route, equal to the monetary benefit.
 - Diplomat/Spy changes:
   - Changed all actions to more closely conform to Civ2 rules.
   - Changed "diplchance" to be %-chance of success.  Used in many ways.
   - Diplomat/Spy may attempt action with any movement left.
   - Added "At Spy's Discretion" selection to steal and sabotage dialogs.
   - Allow Spies to steal tech from a city more than once (gets harder).

   - When a city is subverted, only nearby units change sides.
   - Veteran status improves defense against other Diplomats/Spies.
 - Added production display of number of turns remaining to build.
 - Small, shield-like flags tilesets (trident_shields, engels_shields).
 - Airbase changes (for Civ2 compliance):

   are damaged.
 - Added display of production values to main map "city tiles" display.

 - Settler's "Connect" feature -- Automatically connect two points with
   Road, Railroad, Irrigate or Fortress.
 - Several AI improvements.
 - New ruleset support for CITIES, most notably cities are now drawn in
   different sizes and styles.
 - Allow specifying unambiguous player name prefix, instead of full 
   player name, for server commands taking a player name argument.
 - Added multi-client configuration support.
 - Added 'read' and 'write' server commands.
 - Added "best nation" column to Demographics report.
 - Changed Fighters and Stealth Fighters to not cause unhappiness (Civ2).
 - Cities on mountains will produce an extra food (Civ2).
 - Fixed bug where Lighthouse was not producing veteran sea units.

   directly from the CVS <http://www.freeciv.org/contribute.html#SetupCVS>,
   or from a CVS Snapshot <http://www.freeciv.org/latest.html>.)
