The first release candidate for Freeciv 3.1.0 is now available as source
code for download.

This is mainly a bugfix release. See the full change list from beta4 at
<http://www.freeciv.org/wiki/NEWS-3.1.0-RC1>.

The major changes in Freeciv 3.1 are new Qt6- and gtk4-clients,
improved balance for civ2civ3 ruleset, experimental meson based
build system, and a whole lot of extra flexibility to create
custom rulesets.
See more details at
<http://www.freeciv.org/wiki/NEWS-3.1.0>.

Download the source tarball from one of our mirrors:
<http://www.freeciv.org/download.html#beta>.
(Windows packages should follow shortly at the same location.)

If no showstopping bugs are reported in the near future, a very similar
build will become the next stable release, 3.1.0.
Please do report any bugs you find in this release candidate release.

On behalf of the Freeciv Dev Team,
  Marko Lindqvist
