Stable (1.2 branch)

The stable files are meant to be used as a stable and rather balanced version of the game. Each version of the 1.2 branch is compatible to each other. This will not happen in the development branch.

Version 1.2 is the latest stable version, updated with several important bugfixes. This version is recommended for most players since the 1.2 online multiplayer community is very large and user-made campaign server has a robust content selection.

Development

Special note for 1.1.8-1.1.14

These versions were the "stable beta" or "release candidates" for version 1.2. Now that 1.2 is out, there is not much value in playing these older versions, but they remain available for the time being. The next paragraph is our "stock" paragraph about the development version, however because it is so early in the 1.3 development cycle, there aren't any unstable releases out yet. This is expected to change rather soon.


Version 1.3.x is the latest development version, boasting updated graphics and new exciting features. However, there may be occasional bugs or performance problems in the development versions since heavy changes are taking place all the time. For balanced and stable gaming, it is recommended you use the latest version of the 1.2.x branch. This version is recommended for coders and campaign developers, as well as those who want to preview the future of Wesnoth.
