Wesnoth 1.9.6: Development Release
Monday, May 9 2011
Wesnoth 1.9.6 has been released. This is the seventh release of the 1.9.x development series. It includes huge, groundbreaking changes like a new faction for multiplayer (in an additional era). Please have a look this forum thread to get a rough idea about those big changes. If you are using Mac OSX 10.4, please download the extra version from the downloads page and don't use the link from the frontpage.
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. Please keep in mind that it is a development release which might include quite many bugs. If you find one, please report it to help us fix them in following releases.

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.
