Thanks Robo, for giving the timeline.
You are only wrong with the farmer rule. According to Wikipedia, see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carcassonne_(board_game)
there were 2 older editions and only one of them was using city-perspective. I can confirm that Wikipedia is correct. The final, 3rd edition is identical with the international rules which is correctly implemented here. As you say, these rules are now unchanged since 2002.
The first rule set had farmer points from a city-perspective (4 points per city). Small towns gave 2 points only.
The second rule set had farmer points from a farm-perspective (3 points per farm). A single city could not get one player multiple points, though. Small towns gave 2 points only.
The third rule set removed the farming restriction on cities. Now you can earn farmer points for a single city more than once (when you have majority on multiple farms neighboring this city). Small towns give 4 points.
Have fun!
