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.

===New tileset: Freeland===
:25 May 2006
:A new original, high quality tileset called Freeland has been released. The author Peter Arbor has made it available in two sizes: "normal" and "big". Normal is the same size as the classic Isotrident tileset, while the big size is larger than virtually any previous Freeciv tileset.
:For 2.0 compatible versions, go to the Extras section of our download section and look under "Tilesets". A beta version for the 2.1-beta series is also available here but only the big size version for now.
:Screenshots and more information in this forum thread.
