ChangeLog on SourceForge.

Availability:

Crossfire is available on SourceForge (and its various mirrors).
http://sourceforge.net/projects/crossfire/files/

Binary packages are not yet available and will be released when they are
ready.

'crossfire-client-1.71.0.tar.bz2' contains the source distribution for
the client. If you want to play, this is the only piece you need.

'crossfire-client-images-1.71.0.tar.bz2' contains client images and
graphics.  This prevents the client from having to request image data
from the server. It is optional but recommended if you have a slow
Internet connection.

'crossfire-client-sounds-1.71.0.tar.bz2' contains sound effects. This
has changed since the 1.70.0 release. Of course, it is optional.

'crossfire-1.71.0.tar.bz2' contains the server source distribution as
well as pre-generated archetype and image files. If you are running a
server, you need this.

'crossfire-1.71.0.arch.tar.bz2' contains the unpacked archetypes and
pixmaps.  This is only required if you are planning to make changes to
game objects and is not needed to run a server or play the game.

'crossfire-1.71.0.maps.tar.bz2' contains the map distribution. If you
are running a server, you need this.
