Wesnoth 1.8.6: Maintenance Release
Friday, May 13 2011
Wesnoth 1.8.6 has been released. This is a bugfix release for the stable 1.8 branch. This release does mainly consist of smaller fixes and changes. This is most likely the last 1.8.x release. For information about further changes in this release, have a look at this forum thread.
We 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 the Windows, the MacOSX and the OpenPandora packages are ready. You can find them at the download page. Once the others are done you can find them at the download page, too. If you find a bug, please report it.

Primary Multiplayer servers downtime
Monday, April 25 2011 UPDATE: The redirection issue that was causing this appears to be solved now. You should be able to connect to server.wesnoth.org normally again.
The primary Multiplayer server instances for 1.6, 1.8 and 1.9 in Wesnoth.org (server.wesnoth.org) are currently down. We are looking into the issue and will keep you updated in the current status thread in the forums.
Please use the alternate servers (server2.wesnoth.org and server3.wesnoth.org) in the meantime.
