JSettlers 2.4.00 released

New JSettlers version 2.4.00 has been released at https://github.com/jdmonin/JSettlers2/releases/latest and https://sourceforge.net/projects/jsettlers2/ . From there you can download runnable JARs to play against bots or set up a server, or download the full source code.

Version 2.4.00 contains these features and fixes:

• Gameplay:
  • Pirate can be placed next to any coastline, even those near edge of board
  • For consistency, calculate Longest Route and Largest Army only at server, not also at client
• Client:
  • Add client preference: Remember face icon when changed
  • Game window: Game stats: If player leaves at end of game, keep showing their statistics
• Server:
  • If connecting client has limited features, send all unsupported game options as unknowns
• Network/Message traffic:
  • When client joins a game:
    • Server sends players' current trade offers
  • Bugfix: When client is v1.x, send seat lock state CLEAR_ON_RESET as UNLOCKED not LOCKED
    so they can take over a "marked" bot seat
• Other changes: see Versions.md
