Wesnoth 1.1.5: Development release

Friday, Jun 9 2006

Wesnoth 1.1.5 has been released and should be much more polished than the previous releases, although we are sure you will still manage to discover some bugs. Do not forget to report them. You can read the announcement and the changelog.

Wesnoth 1.1.4: Development release

Saturday, May 27 2006

Wesnoth 1.1.4 has been released as soon as possible fixing most of the nasty bugs discovered in version 1.1.3. We hope you enjoy this release and keep reporting bugs to have a really polished Battle for Wesnoth 1.2. There also is some kind of announcement and a (very short) changelog.

Update: In the Windows binary package you have to rename python23.dll to python24.dll. Since there were this many problems with the Windows binary in the last days, maybe we should drop official Windows support? ;)

(For those who do not understand irony: We will have a Windows binary as long as someone volunteers to make it...)

Update 2: The new, fixed windows binary is already available for download.

Updated screenshots

Now that we released 1.1.3 (with some minor bugs) there also are some brand new screenshots. Feel free to have a look at the screenshot page.

Dev meeting to coordinate work on 1.2

Thursday, May 25 2006

Following the release plan there is a dev meeting sheduled on Saturday, May 27th, 4pm UTC. It would be good if as many devs as possible take part in that meeting. It will take place in our IRC-channel #wesnoth-dev on irc.freenode.net. Main topic will be the feature list. We'll try to have a look at which features are possible for 1.2 and which have to be removed from the list. And we'll also try to coordinate a little so that we are able to get the most important things into 1.2.

Wesnoth 1.1.3: Development release

Wednesday, May 24 2006

We were really busy working on Wesnoth in the last two months. Now here is the result of our hard work. Be aware that there were many changes. Be carefull when looking at the changelog since it is really huge. A very short and compressed list of changes can be found in the announcement. Of course you can find the downloads on the download page.
At the moment we are heavily working on preparing a new stable release that will be called 1.2. So if you find bugs in the brand new 1.1.3 release, please report them. Feel free to comment the official campaigns so that we can further improve them, too.
UPDATE: It looks like there are some serious problems mainly related to the windows version of 1.1.3 and to the heavily changed mp-modus. ATM we are working on fixing some of these bugs. Keep an eye on the forum for more infos.

Heading towards a stable release

Friday, April 28 2006

Soon the time has come to get out another stable release. To be able to coordinate some things for this we do have a nice release plan. Of course we won't stick closely to any of the dates and we'll try to break all of these deadlines. Now let's get serious: the plan only gives a rough timeline, nothing more.

Hey, we have a trailer

Sometimes at the end of April 2006

As you might have already seen, there now even is an official "The Battle for Wesnoth"-Trailer. Have a look at its downloadpage and watch it ASAP. Radoz made a great job with this video. You can get the trailer over here. In the forum there is a thread dedicated to this video. Feel free to post your suggestions on how to further improve it over there.

Wesnoth 1.1.2a: Bugfixes to the Development release

Thursday, March 23 2006

We had a few bugs in our release of 1.1.2. It seems that some scenarios from TROW had unexpectedly vanished. Fortunately, after a short ordeal by our best and bravest, we've recovered them, and present them to you in our release of 1.1.2a, which fixes both that and a few minor bugs. The only changes in this release are to the data/ subdirectory, and the release is compatible, for multiplayer, with 1.1.2. If you find any other bugs, please report them here. The announcement is over here. The changelog is really tiny, since this release is only meant to fix these bugs. To download this release, go to the download page.

Wesnoth 1.1.2: Development release

Tuesday, March 21 2006

Many things have happened in the time that has passed since the last release, and our developers have not been idle. We proudly present our latest release, which features two new campaigns, several great new music tracks and sound effects, as well as hundreds of graphical improvements. Inevitably, a few bugs have crept in as well, and if you find any, please report it. If you can't wait to read the announcement, have a look at this page. A list of all the changes (be careful, it's long) is in the changelog. To download this release, go to the download page.
