Pioneers was formerly known as Gnocatan.
This is an 'update' based on the old gnocatan package with some changes:
- some dependencies changes, so it needs fewer packages
- fix hardcoded manpage paths
There are too many changes since gnocatan 0.8.1.16 to list them here.
Please check the NEWS file in the source archive for more information.
There is one important one:
CVS Snapshot release 0.9.55
This is a security release for the meta server.
* The public meta server could be crashed by sending commands to create
a new game, even though the meta server does not allow the creation
of new games.
Everybody who is running a meta server is requested to upgrade.
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-0467
This the third maintanence release of the 2.12 stable gnome-games
branch. It contains only fixes and a translation updates. It should
stop crashes in Mines on 64-bit machines and fix two bugs in
Aisleriot. The Aisleriot fixes were to make Elevator playable again
and to fix a crash in Diamond Mine during the end-game. The updated
translation was the German translation.
This really fixes the potential exploit against
the Windows server, which was not correctly fixed in 1.5.11.
Changes 1.5.11:
This is largely a security bugfix release, fixing a potential exploit against
the Windows server when running as an NT serivce.
Pkgsrc:
Use options.mk to build Curses and/or GTK user interface.
TetriNET is an addictive 6 player tetr*s game
What this program does is set up a TetriNET server that ordinary
TetriNET clients can connect to. It attempts to fix some of the
"glaring" holes in the TetriNET protocol that I discovered, and which
I'm sure some people use as cheats, but I now see why it is nearly
impossible to fix ;), without a modification to the client.
I've kept the server as close to the same as the original TetriNET
server, but I've added some extras that I've often wanted, such as
the "/kick" and "/ban" keywords.
Please note this server in no way encompasses the whole game. The clients
are the ones that do most of the work, with the server just passing suitable
packets between each client, and of course adding some of its own.

"extract" script for extraction. Many cases where a custom EXTRACT_CMD
simply copied the distfile into the work directory are no longer
needed. The extract script also hides differences between pax and
tar behind a common command-line interface, so we no longer need code
that's conditional on whether EXTRACT_USING is tar or pax.

branch. It contains only one bug fix and several translation
updates. The bug fix eliminates an illegal move the the Aisleriot game
