JCivED 0.0.13a released

Hi everyone,

It's been the longest gap between 2 version releases, but finally I am glad to announce the release of JCivED 0.0.13a.

The most prominent update in this version is related to the Map edition enhanced capabilities, to finally create cities and units very easily, among other things.

Another big update is related to dynamic patch configuration UI to get user input. This makes it possible to implement new user-configurable patches, such as the Custom Civ Colors patch, or Custom Earth Map patch.

Less visible to users, there is an enormous codebase rework in progress, code being split, moved, deleted, re-organized all the way... I'm not exactly sure where this is going, but hopefully in the right direction

Hereunder are the release notes, take from JCivED's home page on Civ Fanatics forums:
