The website upload script has just run again.

Release-day patch attached. I had trouble reading/editing the two news/ files so they have been brutally reindented. Having done so I could see they referenced some no-longer-existing php so I cut out those lines. > - /news/[all pages for pagination purposes] > - /news/releases/[all pages for pagination purposes] I think the existing pagination is OK for now. > RSS feeds may need to be removed, or otherwise also manually updated.

AFAICT for FreeCol there is no practical difference between oracle and openJDK any more. There are a few closed add-ons in the oracle releases, but they are declining, with bulk of the their package being just openJDK. See http://openjdk.java.net/faq/ and http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/javase/opensourcejdk-jsp-136417.html Cheers, Mike Pope

+ FreeCol 0.10.7 has been released. This

+ new feature present is some improvements to
+ the graphics.<br /><br />Since FreeCol
+ 0.10.6 was released there have been 18 new
+ bug reports, of which 8 are fixed in 0.10.7,
+ one (roads are sometimes ignored) is
+ partially fixed, 4 were invalid, 3 can not
+ be reproduced or are otherwise awaiting
+ clarification, one was a duplicate and one
+ was a content contribution. Two other
+ pre-0.10.6 bug reports were also
+ fixed. Bug reports remain crucial to
+ improving FreeCol. When reporting
+ please try think about what the developers
+ would need to reproduce the bug. Very
+ few bugs are easily reproducible from just a
+ textural description. Too many bug
+ reports get stalled, sometimes indefinitely,
+ because of a missing log file (which is
+ almost always needed in the case of a crash
+ or hang) or missing saved game (almost
+ always needed to replay some sort of strange
+ behaviour).<br /><br />Note also, we do not
+ handle translation directly. FreeCol
+ is translated by the volunteers at
+ https://translatewiki.net/. Please
+ raise translation issues there, except in
+ cases where you see messages containing
+ percent-delimited words %like% %this%.
+ These are coding bugs and belong on the bug
+ tracker.<br /><br />There were also several
+ other bugs fixed, including one that can
+ result in certain bonuses (e.g. Jefferson,
+ Newspaper) being counted twice. This
+ can lead to very enjoyable levels of bell
+ production. New games should not have
+ this problem, but existing saved games are
+ vulnerable. Unfortunately, a fully
+ backward compatible fix would be quite
+ complex and thus likely to cause worse
+ problems and delay this release, so please
+ do not report this as a bug. Such
+ reports will be closed with a `Wont Fix'
+ status.<br /><br />There are also lurking
+ problems with old saved games using the
+ America_large map, due to some lake tiles
+ with null regions and single isolated river
+ tiles. The map has been fixed so new
+ games are safe. These problems have
+ caused crashes, all reported cases of which
+ are fixed, but we are not that confident
+ there are no more.<br /><br />Finally, there
+ are still various hard to reproduce problems
+ where the active unit is not correctly
+ displayed. These tend to depend
+ strongly on what happened just before.
+ If you wish to report one of these bugs, we
+ will need a saved game, and instructions on
+ what to do to make the problem happen.
+ A saved game in the failed state will not be
+ enough. </div>

+ Thanks to all contributors, but particularly

+ prolific bug reporter).
+ </div>
+ <div align="left">
+ <br />The main user-visible changes since
+ 0.10.5 are:<br /><ul>
+ <li>>80 bugs fixed.<br /></li>
+ <li>colony names (freecol ruleset): The
+ colony names have been revised for accuracy
+ and chronological order, contributed by
+ izzieliu.<br /></li>
+ <li>disasters: Colonies aare subject to
+ natural disasters.</li>
+ <li>editor: The map editor should be
+ working again.</li>
+ <li>European trade: Trading of goods with
+ other European nations should be working
+ again.</li>
+ <li>intervention force: A foreign power
+ may intervene and aid you against the
+ REF.</li>
+ <li>map reveal: The map is fully revealed
+ on independence, as in Col1.</li>
+ <li>native anger: Native settlements now
+ have a `most hated nation', visible in
+ the various popups, reports and the `!'
+ chip by the settlement name.</li>
+ <li>native trade: An option has been added
+ to allow trading with empty carrier
+ units.</li>
+ <li>options panel: New tree-view of the
+ options.</li>
+ <li>path finding: The path finding code
+ has been reworked, and should now find
+ the fastest path in more cases.</li>
+ <li>peace: The monarch now sometimes
+ declares peace.</li>
+ <li>ship names: Ships now have names by
+ default. Historic ship name list
+ contributed by izzieliu.</li>
+ <li>AI:<ol>
+ <li>Following the path finding
+ rewrite, most AI actions have been
+ reworked and are now more robust and
+ efficient, fixing many long standing
+ bugs. This was a lot of work and
+ the main reason for the long release
+ cycle. Much of this is not really
+ obvious to a casual player, the AI just
+ fails less often.<br />For example: In a
+ 0.10.5 test game the Russian AI sent a
+ unit to build a colony on a small
+ island, but when it arrived the colony
+ site had already been taken by the
+ Swedish. The Russian unit just
+ hung around until eventually
+ captured. With 0.10.6 a new colony
+ site is chosen as soon as the existing
+ one becomes unavailable, and if needed a
+ transport unit will be sent to take the
+ colony founders there.</li>
+ <li>European AI nations now send
+ missionaries to nearby native
+ settlements.</li>
+ <li>European AI player cheating has
+ been reduced, some explicit cheats are
+ now controllable in the game
+ options.</li>
+ <li>Native AI gift and tribute demand
+ probabilities are now game
+ options.</li>
+ <li>Note though, with very few
+ exceptions, the AI is concerned only
+ with the efficiency of its
+ movements. It makes no attempt to
+ check if it is moving its units into
+ danger. Not yet. That is the
+ next major thing to do with the
+ AI. For now, do not bother
+ reporting bugs where the AI moved a unit
+ into unnecessary danger. We
+ know.</li>
+ </ol>
+ </li>
+ </ul>

Historic ship name list contributed by izzieliu.</li><li>AI:<ol><li>Following the path finding rewrite, most AI actions have been reworked and are now more robust and efficient, fixing many long standing bugs. This was a lot of work and the main reason for the long release cycle. Much of this is not really obvious to a casual player, the AI just fails less often.<br />For example: In a 0.10.5 test game the Russian AI sent a unit to build a colony on a small island, but when it arrived the colony site had already been taken by the Swedish. The Russian unit just hung around until eventually captured. With 0.10.6 a new colony site is chosen as soon as the existing one becomes unavailable, and if needed a transport unit will be sent to take the colony founders there.</li><li>European AI nations now send missionaries to nearby native settlements.</li><li>European AI player cheating has been reduced, some explicit cheats are now controllable in the game options.</li><li>Native AI gift and tribute demand probabilities are now game options.</li><li>Note though, with very few exceptions, the AI is concerned only with the efficiency of its movements. It makes no attempt to check if it is moving its units into danger. Not yet. That is the next major thing to do with the AI. For now, do not bother reporting bugs where the AI moved a unit into unnecessary danger. We know.</li></ol></li></ul></div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left">A serious bug has been discovered in 0.10.6 that removes all colonists from captured colonies. 0.10.7 will be releasd soon, fixing this and other less serious bugs. </div><div align="left"> </div> </td>

That said, there are many useful new user visible features, listed in the <a href="https://sourceforge.net/p/freecol/wiki/0.11.0%20Release%20Notes/"; title="release notes">release notes.</a> And lots of bugs were fixed.<br /><br />In particular, we had an intractable cluster of bugs that could not be fixed without making an incompatible change to the saved game format and dropping the 0.9.x compatibility code. Therefore, this is 0.11.0, not 0.10.8, and 0.9.x games will no longer load correctly. The hope is that this is the last save-format break before 1.0.</div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left">Given the large changes and long gap since the last release, the next release is likely to be a maintenance/bugfix release to tidy up problems that were missed in testing.

- <div align="left">FreeCol 0.10.7 has been released. This is a bug fix release to correct some serious gameplay problems in 0.10.6. The only new<br />feature present is some improvements to the graphics.<br /><br />Since FreeCol 0.10.6 was released there have been 18 new bug reports, of which 8 are fixed in 0.10.7, one (roads are sometimes ignored) is partially fixed, 4 were invalid, 3 can not be reproduced or are otherwise awaiting clarification, one was a duplicate and one was a content contribution. Two other pre-0.10.6 bug reports were also fixed. Bug reports remain crucial to improving FreeCol. When reporting please try think about what the developers would need to reproduce the bug. Very few bugs are easily reproducible from just a textural description. Too many bug reports get stalled, sometimes indefinitely, because of a missing log file (which is almost always needed in the case of a crash or hang) or missing saved game (almost always needed to replay some sort of strange behaviour).<br /><br />Note also, we do not handle translation directly. FreeCol is translated by the volunteers at https://translatewiki.net/. Please<br />raise translation issues there, except in cases where you see messages containing percent-delimited words %like% %this%. These are coding bugs and belong on the bug tracker.<br /><br />There were also several other bugs fixed, including one that can result in certain bonuses (e.g. Jefferson, Newspaper) being counted<br />twice. This can lead to very enjoyable levels of bell production. New games should not have this problem, but existing saved games are vulnerable. Unfortunately, a fully backward compatible fix would be quite complex and thus likely to cause worse problems and delay this release, so please do not report this as a bug. Such reports will be closed with a `Wont Fix' status.<br /><br />There are also lurking problems with old saved games using the America_large map, due to some lake tiles with null regions and single isolated river tiles. The map has been fixed so new games are safe. These problems have caused crashes, all reported cases of which are fixed, but we are not that confident there are no more.<br /><br />Finally, there are still various hard to reproduce problems where the active unit is not correctly displayed.

+ an opportunity for the developers to fix

+ title="release notes">release
+ notes.</a> And lots of bugs were

+ intractable cluster of bugs that could not
+ be fixed without making an incompatible
+ change to the saved game format and dropping
+ the 0.9.x compatibility code.
+ Therefore, this is 0.11.0, not 0.10.8, and

+ FreeCol 0.10.7 has been released. This
+ is a bug fix release to correct some serious
+ gameplay problems in 0.10.6. The only
+ new feature present is some improvements to
+ the graphics.<br /><br />Since FreeCol
+ 0.10.6 was released there have been 18 new
+ bug reports, of which 8 are fixed in 0.10.7,
+ one (roads are sometimes ignored) is
+ partially fixed, 4 were invalid, 3 can not
+ be reproduced or are otherwise awaiting
+ clarification, one was a duplicate and one
+ was a content contribution. Two other
+ pre-0.10.6 bug reports were also
+ fixed. Bug reports remain crucial to
+ improving FreeCol. When reporting
+ please try think about what the developers
+ would need to reproduce the bug. Very
+ few bugs are easily reproducible from just a
+ textural description. Too many bug
+ reports get stalled, sometimes indefinitely,
+ because of a missing log file (which is
+ almost always needed in the case of a crash
+ or hang) or missing saved game (almost
+ always needed to replay some sort of strange
+ behaviour).<br /><br />Note also, we do not
+ handle translation directly. FreeCol
+ is translated by the volunteers at
+ https://translatewiki.net/. Please
+ raise translation issues there, except in
+ cases where you see messages containing
+ percent-delimited words %like% %this%.
+ These are coding bugs and belong on the bug
+ tracker.<br /><br />There were also several
+ other bugs fixed, including one that can
+ result in certain bonuses (e.g. Jefferson,
+ Newspaper) being counted twice. This
+ can lead to very enjoyable levels of bell
+ production. New games should not have
+ this problem, but existing saved games are
+ vulnerable. Unfortunately, a fully
+ backward compatible fix would be quite
+ complex and thus likely to cause worse
+ problems and delay this release, so please
+ do not report this as a bug. Such
+ reports will be closed with a `Wont Fix'
+ status.<br /><br />There are also lurking
+ problems with old saved games using the
+ America_large map, due to some lake tiles
+ with null regions and single isolated river
+ tiles. The map has been fixed so new
+ games are safe. These problems have
+ caused crashes, all reported cases of which
+ are fixed, but we are not that confident
+ there are no more.<br /><br />Finally, there
+ are still various hard to reproduce problems
+ where the active unit is not correctly
+ displayed. These tend to depend
+ strongly on what happened just before.
+ If you wish to report one of these bugs, we
+ will need a saved game, and instructions on
+ what to do to make the problem happen.
+ A saved game in the failed state will not be
+ enough. </div>

+ <li>European AI nations now send

+ settlements.</li>
+ <li>European AI player cheating has

+ <li>Native AI gift and tribute demand
