A faulty add-on could read some of your files and post the content to all particiants of the multiplayer game. There was another issue that is described in [http://www.wesnoth.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=264289#264289 this forum thread].

| − | Wesnoth 1.2.7 has been released. The main reason for this release was a security vulnerability of the multiplayer part. An invalid utf-8 string could make other clients crash. The main issues could already be fixed via a server update, but it is at least problematic if you run direct games or your own server. Since we did now implement a whole fix on the code side, please update 1.2.7 so that you are not affected anymore by this vulnerability. Beside this not much was changed, mainly translation and map updates plus the addition of the font needed to display the japanese translation. The complete list can be found in the [http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/wesnoth/tags/1.2.7/changelog?rev=20982&view=download changelog].

| − | A new Development release is ready. This time we added quite a few new campaigns and several other things. Since I am too lazy to list all the great changes in here, better have a look at the [http://www.wesnoth.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=234330#234330 forum thread] which describes the most important changes. As with the last development releases, we continue to offer two versions of changelogs: a rather nice to read [http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/wesnoth/tags/1.3.3/players_changelog?rev=17856&view=download players changelog] that only includes changes every player will probably notice and the (rather) [http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/wesnoth/tags/1.3.3/changelog?rev=17856&view=download complete changelog] with (almost) all the details, which is likely to cause a serious headache...

Have a look at the [http://www.wesnoth.org/wiki/Download download page] for all the binaries that are already out, like the new Solaris binary. Please keep in mind that it is a development release which might include quite many bugs. If you find one, please [http://www.wesnoth.org/wiki/ReportingBugs report] it. One was already found and fixed, have a look at [http://www.wesnoth.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=16555 this post] for some info about some problematic multiplayer maps and a hotfix.

This includes fixing bugs, balancing and all this stuff.

| |
| − | Lately we have been thinking about what else we could do to improve the game beside simply improving graphics, musics/sounds and making WML more flexible. We came to one simple idea: we could ship more campaigns with the game. Since we also want to make it easier to get campaigns into mainline, we have changed our policy a little. The new policy is described in [http://www.wesnoth.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=229365#229365 this] forum thread. In short: It will be by far easier for a campaign to be added to mainline, but it will also be easier for it to be removed before a release. Especially before a new stable release we will carefully check which ones should be bundled with the game. Some campaigns have already added svn trunk and will be in the next development release, have a look at the [http://www.wesnoth.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=229365#229365 forum thread] for more info.

If you use old content, don't complain if it does not work as expected... Keep in mind that it is a development release which might include quite many bugs. If you find one, please [http://www.wesnoth.org/wiki/ReportingBugs report] it.

| |
| − | ''Monday, Febuary 26 2007''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Wesnoth 1.3.1 is finally available. Compared to 1.2.x many things were changed in this brand new version. For example we now have a completely rewritten terrain engine supporting multiple letters. This allows to use many more different terrains and two new terrains were already added. But also a lot of other things did change. This also has a negative impact: It is likely that almost all usermade content that did work in 1.2.x will not work without problems in 1.3.1. Since there were really many changes in all areas of the game and it is a development version it might be more unstable than the stable 1.2 tree. Since quite a lot was rebalanced, balancing might not be as perfect yet as it is in 1.2.x. And finally, the damagetype 'holy' was changed to work a little bit different. So be warned, this one is the first development release, who knows what is broken...

| − |
| |
| − | Of course, like for every other version, we do have a [http://www.wesnoth.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15371 forum thread] to discuss the release and a really lengthy changelog. For the changelog we do offer two versions, a rather nice to read [http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/wesnoth/tags/1.3.1/players_changelog?rev=16076&view=download players changelog] that only includes changes every player will probably notice and the [http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/wesnoth/tags/1.3.1/players_changelog?rev=16076&view=download complete changelog] with all the details.

The working Windows binaries will probably be available soon.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Remove your old installation before installing this development version otherwise you might get some strange problems. You should also remove all usercontent you have left from 1.2.x since it is likely to cause problems. Keep in mind that it is a development release which might include quite many bugs. If you find one, please [http://www.wesnoth.org/wiki/ReportingBugs report] it.

| |
| − | Wesnoth 1.2.2 has been released. The most impressive changes are the speed improvements maxy did implement. Especially in the mp-lobby and when showing animations the game should be a whole lot faster. Savegames were cleaned up to be a little smaller. Because of this only beginning of scenario saves will work as expected, others may have problems with the recall list. Of course there were many other changes so that i can not list them all in here. For all the nice details have a look at the [http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/wesnoth/tags/1.2.2/changelog?rev=15962&view=download changelog].
