Upstream ChangeLog is at http://freeciv.wikia.com/wiki/NEWS-2.5.0,
excerpt:
What's changed since 2.4
The main changes in Freeciv 2.5 are the inclusion of the 'civ2civ3'
ruleset, a new Qt client, and much more flexibility for those
creating their own rulesets. The AI has also had some improvements.
As is usual for major releases, 2.5 clients cannot interoperate with
pre-2.5 servers, and vice versa. Pre-2.5 savegames can however be
loaded into 2.5, and in most cases, the supplied rulesets have not
changed so much as to make it difficult to complete a game started
with 2.4.x's rules.
are replaced with .include "../../devel/readline/buildlink3.mk", and
USE_GNU_READLINE are removed,
* .include "../../devel/readline/buildlink3.mk" without USE_GNU_READLINE
are replaced with .include "../../mk/readline.buildlink3.mk".
There are many many changes since 2.2 including:
A new program has been added to the Freeciv suite: 'freeciv-modpack'.
This makes it easier to download and install add-ons ('modpacks':
rulesets, tilesets, etc) to the right place; you can enter a URL,
choose an add-on from the list, and the tool will install it to the
correct place for this version of Freeciv to use it.
See http://freeciv.wikia.com/wiki/NEWS
We also include a security fix.
Fixes a security vulnerability. (SA40078)

- Simplification of pubserver authentication system, and other
pubserver-related changes.
- Fix problems with some strings in some languages on windows.
- Fix a potential desynchronization bug when establishing connections.
- Fix a potential crash when reading packets (CVE-2006-0047).
- Fix some bugs allowing illegal rehoming of units.
- Allow loading of savegames created by Freeciv 2.1.
- Allow client goto into unknown tiles.

RECOMMENDED is removed. It becomes ABI_DEPENDS.
BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED.foo becomes BUILDLINK_ABI_DEPENDS.foo.
BUILDLINK_DEPENDS.foo becomes BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.foo.
BUILDLINK_DEPENDS does not change.
IGNORE_RECOMMENDED (which defaulted to "no") becomes USE_ABI_DEPENDS
which defaults to "yes".
Added to obsolete.mk checking for IGNORE_RECOMMENDED.
I did not manually go through and fix any aesthetic tab/spacing issues.
I have tested the above patch on DragonFly building and packaging
subversion and pkglint and their many dependencies.
I have also tested USE_ABI_DEPENDS=no on my NetBSD workstation (where I
have used IGNORE_RECOMMENDED for a long time). I have been an active user
of IGNORE_RECOMMENDED since it was available.
As suggested, I removed the documentation sentences suggesting bumping for
"security" issues.
As discussed on tech-pkg.
I will commit to revbump, pkglint, pkg_install, createbuildlink separately.
Note that if you use wip, it will fail! I will commit to pkgsrc-wip
later (within day).
- Fix some buffer underruns on the terrain array (this bug could have
been the cause of arbitrary crashes on some platforms).
- Don't automatically pop up the city dialog when in observer mode.

mice to work on windows (GTK-2 client).
- Fix a bug - when a city was transferred/conquered twice the client
sometimes wouldn't get an update about the second exchange.
- Fix the behavior of Granary and Pyramids in the Civ2 compatibility ruleset.
- Fix Pyramids so they are no longer cumulative with Granary.
- Fix a minor bug that prevented 2.0 savegames from working properly with
1.14 Freeciv.
