===Planned website downtime===
 
''Monday, August 10 2009''
 
 
On August 11th, starting around 12:00 PM UTC we'll be taking most of the website down for about 3 hours for maintenance work. This means that the forums and wiki will be completely unavailable until we are finished. Additionally, user authentication services won't be available on the multiplayer servers for all versions until the forums are back online. Any users who join the servers within that timespan will be displayed as unauthenticated.
 
 
The add-ons servers for every Wesnoth versions should not be affected by the downtime.
 
 
'''UPDATE:''' the maintenance was sucessfully completed in less than two hours, and both the wiki and the forums are back online. If you notice any problems, please [http://www.wesnoth.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&amp;t=26624 report them in the forum thread].

''Monday, July 6 2009''
 
 
Wesnoth 1.6.4 has been released. This is a bugfix release for the stable 1.6 branch. The most important bug fixed this time is a regression that found it's way into 1.6.3.

==July==
 
===Wesnoth Summer Art Scholarship===
 
''Wednesday, July 1 2009''
 
 
In response to the generosity of our community, wesnoth has set aside donated funds to create an art scholarship.  Our intent is patterned after [http://code.google.com/soc/Google's "Summer of Code"]; it allows a student to spend their summer in an internship, creating art for wesnoth, rather than a typical summer job which has little to do with their academic interests.  Not only is this an aid to ourselves and the participating students, but we hope that it will serve as an inspirational example to the FLOSS gaming community at large.
 
 
We solicited applications from our community, and are now happy to announce the two winning candidates for our Scholarship.  The winning proposals were submitted by Kathrin "kitty" Polikeit, and Phil "thespaceinvader" Barber.  We would like to extend our thanks to everyone who submitted proposals.

===Wesnoth 1.13.7: Development Release===
''Sunday, March 22 2009''

''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.

===Google Summer of Code 2009===
 
''Sunday, February 15 2009''
 
 
 
We will try to get into Google Summer of Code just like last year. If you don't know what Summer of Code is, have a look at the [http://code.google.com/opensource/gsoc/2009/faqs.html official Summer of Code FAQ]. It is an option for a student to work with an open source project as summer job. Last year projects for Battle for Wesnoth were for example rewriting the editor (now it is completely rewritten and can be started right from the game) and adding extended AI controls in WML (the so called "Formula AI"). We will post an update if we are accepted into the program.

A happy new year to all Wesnoth contributors and players out there! To provide you with a good start for the year 2009, we have a small present for you: the brand new development release 1.5.7.
