Wolfpack Empire 4.3.5 released

This release fixes a show-stopper bug that crept into 4.3.4. Player visible changes include final polish to group, fleet, wing and army conditionals.

Deities are urged to use this release for new games. Upgrading mid-game is normally not supported, but upgrading from 4.3.4 to 4.3.5 is.

There is no separate client release 4.3.5, as the client did not change since 4.3.4.

Our pthreads code has known problems with shutdown. In particular, the shutdown command may fail to terminate the server process. So far, this has been observed only with LinuxThreads under Linux 2.4 and earlier. Note that configure prefers LWP over pthreads when both are available, as they are on most platforms.

Solaris /bin/sh has a broken test builtin. Try passing SHELL=/usr/xpg4/bin/sh PATH=/usr/xpg4/bin:$PATH to make.

Attention, client writers: xdump changed, please peruse the change log.
