Third beta 1.12.6

Hello Freecivers.

A new beta version (1.12.6) is available for testing at:

    ftp://ftp.freeciv.org/freeciv/beta/freeciv-1.12.6.tar.gz
or
    ftp://ftp.freeciv.org/freeciv/beta/freeciv-1.12.6.tar.bz2

Also available as a "diff" between the previous beta version (1.12.4)
and this one:

    ftp://ftp.freeciv.org/freeciv/beta/freeciv-1.12.4-1.12.6.diff.gz
or
    ftp://ftp.freeciv.org/freeciv/beta/freeciv-1.12.4-1.12.6.diff.bz2

Please use this (or, preferably, the latest CVS) as the basis for any
patches you submit.

In addition to many small bug fixes, this release make the client
faster.

Special note for translators:  Part of the process of making a
distribution runs all the .po files through msgmerge.  This will
happen each time a beta version is published, and these changes will
be reflected in both the CVS and in the posted distribution files.
