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.

Campaign Credits

The way the credits are displayed at the end of a campaign has been updated to a cleaner, nicer look. Additionally, this should bypass the existing bug where it was possible for Wesnoth to crash if there were too many credits to display.

Fixes

Newly Introduced Issues

Other
