31st Mar 2012 – Freeciv 2.3.2 is a new bugfix release in the 2.3 series.

29th Mar 2012 – freeciv.org DNS should be back up for everyone within 24h (thanks to Jaakko Heusala for assistance), after which the metaserver workaround should not be necessary. The forum is still down for the foreseeable.

27th Mar 2012 – The main server for freeciv.org is currently down; this means no forum.freeciv.org or www.freeciv.org. Host lookup for the metaserver is also wrong, causing delays when clients try to connect to network games, but the metaserver is still up; as a temporary workaround, use the command-line option -M http://meta.cazfi.net/. We don't have an ETA for restoration of service.

19th Nov 2011 – Freeciv 2.3.1 is a new bugfix release in the 2.3 series.
