The progress bar shown when downloading and installing an add-on now more correctly displays how much work remains to be done.
Fixes
Text overly bold
On Windows text was being displayed as "bold" without changing the spacing between letters, making reading said text more difficult. This has been fixed.
Flying units with leadership
Fixed flying units with leadership not being displayed correctly when on a water tile.
Various issues when using zoom
Multiple issues with displaying units when zoomed in or out have been fixed.
General/Misc
Logging
On Steam, for Linux users, Wesnoth now logs to a file so that errors and warnings can be viewed more easily.
Packaging
The minimum Pango version is now 1.44.
Credentials file encryption
The credentials file used to store multiplayer server passwords is now using a different encryption algorithm to secure them. As such, when switching between 1.17 and other branches, you will need to re-enter your password when connecting to the multiplayer server.
