'''UPDATE 2010-09-13:''' The problem seems to be solved now. We'll keep you updated on the issue if further problems arise.
 
 
You might have noticed today that the wiki and forums, and occasionally the whole website, have gone offline several times during the last few hours. We are currently working on investigating a technical issue, so further service problems should be expected until we announce otherwise.

''Sunday, May 2 2010''
 
 
Wesnoth 1.8.1 has been released. This is a bugfix release for the stable 1.8 branch. The main change does affect multiplayer users by reintroducing the old lobby as (default) option.

===Wesnoth 1.8===
 
''Thursday, April 1 2010''
 
 
More than one year has gone by since we released Wesnoth 1.6. To thank you for almost 4 million downloads via sourceforge.net, we now proudly present '''Wesnoth 1.8'''. You can look at the (translated) [http://www.wesnoth.org/start/1.8/ release notes] to get an idea about what has changed since 1.6. For those who just want to play, the new release is available for [http://www.wesnoth.org/wiki/Download#Stable_.281.8_branch.29 download]. This stable release is compatible with the last two releases in the 1.7.x stream. If you have any comments, we would be happy to hear them in the [http://www.wesnoth.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=29385 forum thread] dedicated to this release. We hope there are no bugs left, but if you find one, please [http://www.wesnoth.org/wiki/ReportingBugs report] it.
 
 
We are also looking for help in several areas, so that many other releases of similar caliber can follow this one. We are especially looking for translators, graphic artists (sprite, portraits, terrain, story images), music composers (a background in classical composition, and good equipment required), sound artists (for special effects), authors (writing/maintaining campaigns, creating content like unit descriptions, improving the ingame help) and, of course, coders. If you want to participate in developing Wesnoth, just have a look at the [http://forums.wesnoth.org forum] or visit us in the IRC channel [irc://irc.freenode.net/#wesnoth-dev #wesnoth-dev] on irc.freenode.net.
