More Server Maintenance
Friday, March 7 2008
The migration of our webserver to ibiblio.org is now almost complete. The forums are up again, upgraded from phpBB2 to phpBB3 and should basically be working. A little finetuning might still be needed, but it should at least be usable. Thanks cycholka for taking care of moving the database and upgrading the forum. Ettin is currently working on making the wiki work nicely and updating it to a more recent version of Mediawiki. I will keep you updated on when the wiki will be completely working again.
Thanks to ibiblio.org for providing us with huge amounts of space, bandwidth and support. Thanks cyrilb (and Jexiste) for helping us to migrate things and still supporting us by providing the DNS server and the domain name. And of course thanks to cycholka and ettin for the huge amounts of time you invested to move things.
Update: The move should now be completed, the Wiki and Forum updated to the latest versions and working. In the next days we will have to fix the map tags phpBB extension and improve colors for the forum theme. Beside this everything should be working nicely. If anything does not, please post about it in the forums and we will have a look at it.
Server Maintenance
Tuesday, March 4 2008
Currently we are about to switch our servers to a new location. this will lead to the website not being available for some time. The forum is already deavtivated, so that no posts get lost while migrating. We hope to manage completing the migration withhin the next two days. Thanks for your patience.
Update: Since you can read this post, you are already in the new site. That is the good news. The bad news is that the migration takes longer than we thought it would. Part of this is due to general problems to update the DNS entrys, another one is updating the software for the wiki and forum used and the most important problem are security concerns. We hope to have all issues fixed soon so that we can reopen the forums and the wiki. Thanks for your patience.

Wesnoth 1.3.19 aka 1.4-rc2: Development Release
Monday, Febuary 25 2008
Wesnoth 1.3.19 is out. This is the second release candidate for 1.4. It looks like we are already very close to a final 1.4 release. To learn about the most important changes in this release, have a look at this forum thread. As with the last releases, we continue to offer two versions of changelogs: a rather nice to read players changelog that only includes changes every player will probably notice and the (rather) complete changelog with (almost) all the details, but there aren't this many this time...
All the major binaries are ready.You can find them at the download page. This release candidate for 1.4 should not include many bugs, but if you find one, please report it.
Update: Due to problems with XCode initial OSX binary didn't allow switching languages and crased in some situations. If you are affected by those problems, please update to the new one linked at the download page. If you still have problems, please report them.
Wesnoth 1.3.18 aka 1.4-rc1: Development Release
Tuesday, Febuary 19 2008
Wesnoth 1.3.18 is out. This is the first release candidate for 1.4. To learn about the changes in this release, have a look at this forum thread. As with the last releases, we continue to offer two versions of changelogs: a rather nice to read players changelog that only includes changes every player will probably notice and the (rather) complete changelog with (almost) all the details, which is likely to cause a serious headache. Keep in mind to read the sections about 1.3.18 and 1.3.17 since there was no 1.3.17 officially available and all changes of it are included in 1.3.18.
All the major binaries are ready.You can find them at the download page. This release candidate for 1.4 should not include many bugs, but if you find one, please report it.
Wesnoth 1.3.16 aka 1.4-beta3: Development Release
Tuesday, Febuary 12 2008
Wesnoth 1.3.16 is out. This is hopefully the last beta release before we start to get out release candidates. It includes some balancing changes and many bug fixes. To learn about the changes in this release, have a look at this forum thread. As with the last development releases, we continue to offer two versions of changelogs: a rather nice to read players changelog that only includes changes every player will probably notice and the (rather) complete changelog with (almost) all the details, which is likely to cause a serious headache...
At the moment none of the major binaries are ready. Once they are done you can find them at the download page. Please keep in mind that it is a development release which might include quite a few bugs. If you find one, please report it.
Update: The Windows and OpenSolaris binaries are now available at the download page.
Update 2: Since lwa seems to be MIA, OSX users should try the unofficial MacOSX build by ulissesroc. Since there are now somehow binaries for the major platforms the 1.3.15 server will be shut down soon.
