= WHAT'S CHANGED SINCE 2.5.2 =
2.5.3 is a bugfix release mainly aimed at Linux distribution maintainers and other repackagers. There have only been a few minor user-visible fixes since 2.5.2.
* Build fixes:
** Re-generating the configure script could fail on recent OS distributions due to a clash with the system supplied glib-gettext.m4. This did not affect most users, who would build with the configure script supplied in the tarball. 
** configure could spuriously output "-lncurses: not found" and fail to find readline on some systems (seen on OpenBSD). 
* Qt client fixes:
** The menu options and keyboard shortcuts to save games were disabled when there were no active units. 
** The Qt client could create a directory called literally '$HOME'. 
** A few strings in the Qt client were displayed unlocalized. 
* Increase the size of some buffers that were causing truncated strings in some localizations, such as Russian. 
* Change a couple of flag files to address auto-detected licensing conflicts. 
* Some corrections to the Finnish and Russian translations.
