This release fixes abusable bugs.  Some of them crept into 4.3.12 and
4.3.13, and some of them are much older.  Deity visible changes
include live crash dump on internal error.

Deities are urged to use this release for new games.  Upgrading
mid-game is normally not supported, but upgrading from 4.3.12 and
4.3.13 to 4.3.14 is.

There are no client binaries for this release, as it didn't change
since 4.3.11, except for documentation.  Bug: clients built from the
4.3.12 client tarball identify themselves as 4.3.11.

Change log:

Changes to Empire 4.3.14 - Mon May  5 04:57:03 UTC 2008
 * Another round of fixes to the fire command:
   - Don't disclose where the target retreated to.
   - Charge the target shells for returning fire.
   - Always use guns when the target is out of range, even if it's a
     submarine.  Before, the difference in shell use disclosed whether
     the target is a submarine.  Loophole opened in 4.3.12.
   - Make depth charges again work with just one shell.  Failing the
     command in that case lets players find out whether the target is
     a submarine.  Loophole opened in 4.3.12.
   - Detect when the firing sector, ship or land unit changes across
     the target prompt.  Abusable.
 * Fix parsing of anchor-relative time in update schedule.  Broken in
   4.3.13.
 * Fix logging of player input in the journal to include command
   interruption and EOF.
 * Fix oversights in 4.3.12's change to keep track of flying planes:
   planes could be erroneously reported damaged by their own ground
   strikes.  Happened with missions and the launch command.
 * Fix load not load hardened missiles.
 * Fix harden not to harden missiles loaded on land units.
 * New server option -E to choose what to do on recoverable internal
   error.  You can now make the server dump core and keep going (not
   implemented for Windows).  New econfig key post_crash_dump_hook to
   run a program after crash-dumping.  See scripts/savecore for an
   example.
 * Journal entries are now flushed to disk right away even when the
   server is not running in debug mode.
 * Don't let land units load trains.
 * Allow deity to display power report for all types of countries,
   with power c.
 * Fix designate's check for disallowed sector types.  Broken in
   4.3.12.
 * Documentation fixes.
