==== BUGS ==== Freeciv 2.3.99 is an alpha release and will contain bugs. Much of the following text applies to the upcoming stable release! Please report all bugs to http://gna.org/bugs/?func=additem&group=freeciv. REPORTING A BUG: ================ Here's what to do: - Check that it is not listed as a known bug! For a continuously updated list, see: http://www.freeciv.org/wiki/Known_Bugs - Check the Freeciv website, to ensure you're playing the latest version. (We may have already fixed the problem.) - Check the Freeciv Bug Tracking System at: http://gna.org/bugs/?group=freeciv to see if the bug has already been reported. - Submit a bug report through our bug tracking system above! If you get any GDK/GTK messages, as for example: Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkobject.c: line 1163 (gtk_object_ref): assertion oject->ref_count > 0' failed. please restart your client and append "-- --g-fatal-warnings" to the command line. You will get a core dump this way. Please include the "stack trace" of this core dump in your bug report. What to include in your bug report: - Describe the problem, including any messages that were displayed. - Indicate which client(s) you are using (gtk2, gtk3, SDL, Xaw, or Qt). - Tell us the name and version of: - The Operating System you're using. You may find the "uname -a" command useful. - The version number of Freeciv. - If you are using the GTK+ client, the version numbers (if you know them) of your GTK+, GLib, and imlib libraries. - If you are using the SDL client, the version numbers (if you know them) of the SDL, SDL_image, PNG, and freetype libraries. - If you are using the Xaw client, the version numbers (if you know them) of the X libraries, the PNG library, the Z library, and the Xaw library, and particularly whether it is standard Xaw, or a variant such as Xaw3d, Xaw95, or Nextaw. - If you're compiling from source code, the name and version number of the compiler. - If you're installing from a binary package, the name of the package, the distribution it's for, and where you got it from. - If Freeciv "dumps core", then we may ask you to use a debugger to give us a "stack trace". You'll need the "core" file for this as well as the binary which you used, so please backup both. - If it is a bug in a translation, it should be reported to the Primary Contact for the language. For their names and addresses, see: http://www.freeciv.org/wiki/Localization FURTHER INFORMATION: ==================== For more information, as always, see the Freeciv website: http://www.freeciv.org/
