Notes
- The Windows packages do not contain a Trojan horse. Your virus checker is wrong about this.
- The SDL client needs an interface theme available separately. The reason for this is that it contains potentially non-free graphics.
- The Mac OS X package includes the "normal" size of the Freeland 2.0.0 tile set.
