S2_6 d3f

 Freeciv S2_6 will have its datafile formats frozen 09-Mar-16. While
there will be no release associated with this milestone of the 2.6
development, lets remind ourselves about the fact that there is a lot
of string changes between major versions such as 2.5 and 2.6, so for
some translators it might suit better to start translating 2.6
already, rather than to wait the week of string freeze just before the
release.
 While not a release, hopefully there's going to be a snapshot build
for Windows soon after d3f to provide Windows-using modpack authors
means of testing their 2.6 content.

 I've just refreshed po-files in
http://download.gna.org/freeciv/packages/windows/testing/cazfi/translations/
 There has been some string changes in S2_5 since previous release.

 If translating S2_6-specific string at this point seems like too
early, updating S2_5 translations would benefit both future S2_5
releases and, when msgmerged to later branches, also S2_6. This is
true especially with 'nations' translation domain, as those strings
are identical in S2_5 and S2_6 (and even current TRUNK).

 We have not set date for 2.5.4 release yet, but it will certainly be
released before final 2.6.0 (If I had to guess, I'd say that
2.6.0-beta1 comes before 2.5.4, though)
