Stable (1.0.x branch)

The stable files are meant to be used as a stable and rather balanced version of the game. Each version of the 1.0.x branch is compatible to each other. This will not happen in the development branch.

Version 1.0.2 is the latest stable version, updated with several important bugfixes. This version is recommended for most players since the 1.0.x online multiplayer community is very large and user-made campaign server has a robust content selection.

Development

Special note for 1.1.8-1.1.11

These versions are "stable beta" or "release candidate" versions. They exist so we can iron out bugs, but they will be very close to the final stable 1.2 release. They are generally balanced, stable, and bug-free, but we need your help to catch any remaining problems (which may or may not exist). Do not be afraid to download or play one of these later versions. The next paragraph is our "stock" paragraph about the development version, but because it is so late in the development cycle it's currently not 100% true (whereas it was very true for earlier releases).


Version 1.1.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 1.0.x branch. This version is recommended for coders and campaign developers, as well as those who want to preview the future of Wesnoth.
