''Wednesday, March 22 2017''
 
 
More than one year has gone by since we released Wesnoth 1.4. To thank you for more than 3,000,000 downloads via sourceforge.net, we now proudly present '''Wesnoth 1.6'''. You can look at the (translated) [http://www.wesnoth.org/start/1.6/ release notes] to get an idea about what has changed since 1.4. For those who just want to play, the new release is available for [http://www.wesnoth.org/wiki/Download#Stable_.281.6_branch.29 download]. This stable release is compatible with the last two release candidates for 1.6. If you have any comments, we would be happy to hear them in the [http://www.wesnoth.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=24580 forum thread] dedicated to this release. We hope there are no bugs left, but if you find any, [http://www.wesnoth.org/wiki/ReportingBugs report] them.
 
 
 
We are also looking for help in several areas, so that many other releases of similar caliber can follow this one. We are especially looking for translators, graphic artists (sprite, portraits, terrain, story images), music composers (a background in classical composition, and good equipment required), sound artists (for special effects), authors (writing/maintaining campaigns, creating content like unit descriptions, improving the ingame help) and, of course, coders. If you want to participate in developing Wesnoth, just have a look at the [http://forum.wesnoth.org forum] or visit us in the IRC channel [irc://irc.freenode.net/#wesnoth-dev #wesnoth-dev] on irc.freenode.net.

We will post an update if we are accepted into the program.
