Changes To Existing Content

Add-ons server rework and incremental updates

How add-ons are uploaded and downloaded has been significantly improved. When using 1.15.6 and later, only the files that changed between versions of an add-on are uploaded or downloaded instead of needing to upload or download the entire add-on each time. This will primarily help large add-ons and users with slower internet connections, but everyone will benefit from being able to update their add-ons more quickly.

NOTE: This involved a significant amount of work to the add-ons server, and as such there may be bugs that we've yet to find. Please make sure to report any issues you have to https://bugs.wesnoth.org.
