 Metaserver needs TCP port 13326 open
-==== 4.5 Why when I try to launch the server, I see a message about the port already in use? ====
+==== 4.5 How can I tell what version a server is running using Metaserver info? ====
+Check the website for any of the available metaservers. In the Version column, you will see information such as:
+.12-beta-r17660M
+  Or
+  v1.75.0-1046-gc8d4b6
+The first set of digits relates to the tagged release (i.e., 1.12 or 1.75.0)
+The middle number of informationi (i.e. 1046) includes a commit number. FIXME - This is the number of commits since the tagged version release. That way the versions can still be sorted in chronological order
+The last string of text indicates a subversion (marked with a 'r') commit (i.e. r17660M) while the letter 'g' indicates a git commit (i.e, gc8d4b6). Note: The project is no longer using subversion
+To look up the specific git commit related to that version, exclude the letter 'g' from your search.
+So release gc8d4b6 would be commit [[https://sourceforge.net/p/crossfire/crossfire-server/ci/c8d4b6aabeb3d9ef5b982bbc13b8b404f1269b0c/|c8d4b6]]

 Check to see if the server is already running with this command:
