- BUGS
- ====
-
- Freeciv 2.1 is a "stable" release and is considered bug-free enough
- for everyday use. However if you do find a bug, we would really like to
- know, so that we can fix it.
-
-
- 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://bugs.freeciv.org/
-
- 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 (GTK+, SDL, Win32, or Xaw).
-
- - 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
