[Freecol-developers] bug list 202001

2020-01-25 Thread Michael T. Pope
I have gone through the sourceforge bug list. There are several bugs that need some work, although nothing too scary. Most of the open bugs are now open-needs-info because I can not reproduce the problem. The other category of interest is "not sure if they are fixed". So if anyone has some time,

Here is some text (markdown) for the website wranglers to consider adding as a news item. I made a lame effort to build a proof-of-concept exploit, but lost interest fairly quickly. I remain unconvinced we need to backport to 0.11.6 and release 0.11.7 given the low level of threat posed, but am i
