Heading towards a stable release

Friday, April 28 2006

Soon the time has come to get out another stable release. To be able to coordinate some things for this we do have a nice release plan. Of course we won't stick closely to any of the dates and we'll try to break all of these deadlines. Now let's get serious: the plan only gives a rough timeline, nothing more.

Hey, we have a trailer

Sometimes at the end of April 2006

As you might have already seen, there now even is an official "The Battle for Wesnoth"-Trailer. Have a look at its downloadpage and watch it ASAP. Radoz made a great job with this video. You can get the trailer over here. In the forum there is a thread dedicated to this video. Feel free to post your suggestions on how to further improve it over there.

Wesnoth 1.1.2a: Bugfixes to the Development release

Thursday, March 23 2006

We had a few bugs in our release of 1.1.2. It seems that some scenarios from TROW had unexpectedly vanished. Fortunately, after a short ordeal by our best and bravest, we've recovered them, and present them to you in our release of 1.1.2a, which fixes both that and a few minor bugs. The only changes in this release are to the data/ subdirectory, and the release is compatible, for multiplayer, with 1.1.2. If you find any other bugs, please report them here. The announcement is over here. The changelog is really tiny, since this release is only meant to fix these bugs. To download this release, go to the download page.
