Ticket details:
Ticket for tracking progress toward switching to crosser-2.3.
The main benefits of crosser-2.3 will be inclusion of zstd (which freeciv would use for .zst compressed savegame support) and Qt6 (Qt6-client, -ruledit, modpack installer)
At this time I'm not sure if we should switch also S3_0 builds to use crosser-2.3. It doesn't really need the new features, and it's a stable branch. Yet, there would be no compatibility issues with crosser-2.3 (later crosser versions may drop Qt5, and that's the only Qt version that S3_0 can use) and it would be good to get updates to the included libraries (including security updates).
Crosser-2.3 would be almost ready to release, except that I want to follow Ubuntu-22.04 development a bit longer, to react any compatibility breaks that might introduce, before releasing crosser-2.3. Also some work need to be done on freeciv side before we can switch to crosser-2.3 anyway, so it's better not to release crosser just yet, to only rotten. Instead it can still take updates in.
