Ver 1.3.2
Fixed bugs:
-> Fix a tiny bug of unexpected exception when server was down
-> Nation number 95 instead of 80 (Thanks Ich) so turn status will work well for 3.14

Added:
-> Bogarus, (Indie flag for now)

Do you have some info on how to interpret the version number from the protocol to check if it's an old server with 80 nations or a >= 3.14 version with 95 nations? I didn't bother to find this out yet. The alternative would be to just read all the data and then decide how many nation slots there are based on the response size, divided by three...

There is a field called "network protocol version" in the server status packet. The field is of type integer and is located prior to status, game name and era. I was never really interested in this field so I don't actually know what value it contains. Other than that, I don't have any knowledge of a version being sent from server.

Yes, I know, but I didn't check yet how exactly the values in there correspond to server OS and patch level. I hoped that you would have had some more knowledge on this than I do.
