New Content

Additional icons for unit stats

In the in-game help, unit descriptions now have icons for attack types as well as show visually how many hexes a unit can move over particular terrain.

Lowered terrain

It's now possible to make terrain appear visually lower than other hexes.

Changes To Existing Content

Hotkey changes

The default hotkeys for some actions have been updated:

  • Continue is now `C` instead of `T`
  • Go to Leader is now `K` instead of `L`
  • Kill Unit is now `DEL` instead of `X`
  • Undo is now `Z` or `CTRL + Z` instead of `U`
  • Redo is now `SHIFT + Z` or `CTRL + SHIFT + Z` instead of `R`
  • Planning mode is now `ALT + P` instead of `P`
  • Delete Action (Planning Mode) is now `BACKSPACE` instead of `H`
  • Suppose Dead (Planning Mode) is now `X` instead of `I`

Add-on downloading progress bar

The progress bar shown when downloading and installing an add-on now more correctly displays how much work remains to be done.

Fixes

Text overly bold

On Windows text was being displayed as "bold" without changing the spacing between letters, making reading said text more difficult. This has been fixed.

General/Misc

Logging

On Steam, for Linux users, Wesnoth now logs to a file so that errors and warnings can be viewed more easily.

Packaging

The minimum Pango version is now 1.44.

Credentials file encryption

The credentials file used to store multiplayer server passwords is now using a different encryption algorithm to secure them. As such, when switching between 1.17 and other branches, you will need to re-enter your password when connecting to the multiplayer server.
