civclient.exe, civmanual.exe and civserver.exe are stripped in 2.0.9, but not 2.0.5/2.1.2/2.1.3. Why? Is windows users are realy often need debug symbols? :-)

I just want to save some traffic...

Most Freeciv developers don't have a Windows machine at hand to debug crashes on Windows. But with the help of exchndl.dll and the debug symbols in the binaries we can at least get some hints about locations in the source code from an auto-generated report file that the user can send us when a crash happens. For an example see https://mail.gna.org/public/freeciv-dev/2008-01/msg00225.html --cproc 13:07, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
