Wesnoth 1.11.7: Development Release
Sunday, November 17 2013
The seventh release of the 1.11.x development series, Wesnoth 1.11.7, has been released. Have a look at the forum thread listing some of the most important changes featured in this version. As with previous releases, we also offer two versions of the changelog: a trimmed-down players changelog including only changes relevant or noticeable to most players, and a (relatively) more complete full changelog with more detailed contents.
The source code, Windows, and Mac OS X packages are already available on the downloads page. You may find packages for other platforms there as well as they become available.
Keep in mind that this is a development release likely to include a few new bugs in addition to the features and improvements mentioned in the release notes. If you find issues, make sure to report them to us so they can be fixed for future releases.

Wesnoth.org Site Migration Complete
Monday, October 14 2013
The scheduled site migration is mostly complete now. DNS propagation may take some time, so users might be directed to the older read-only wiki instance or to the disabled forums in the meantime. For those who absolutely need immediate access to the new server (you will know whether it is the old server or not if you can see the forums index), they can add the following line to their hosts file to override network name resolution as a temporary measure:
144.76.5.6 wesnoth.org www.wesnoth.org wiki.wesnoth.org forums.wesnoth.org server.wesnoth.org
The hosts file is on /etc/hosts for Linux, OS X, and other Unix systems, and %SytemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc for Windows.
A global announcement post is now available in the forums.
Scheduled Wesnoth.org Site Migration Downtime
Friday, October 11 2013
As the next and final step in migrating Wesnoth.org's infrastructure to the new host, the forums, wiki, and primary multiplayer server will be taken down for an extended migration and maintenance downtime on Monday, October 14th 2013, at 17:00 UTC.
You can read the complete announcement in the forums.
Add-ons Server Migration Completed
Tuesday, October 1 2013
The add-ons server has been migrated to a new host. DNS propagation may take some time, so users might be directed to a read-only instance on the previous host in the meantime. Please note that only clients connecting to the server using the default add-ons.wesnoth.org host name (and singular and hyphen-less variations thereof) will be able to connect to the correct host.
Additionally, the add-ons web interface, the developers documentation, and part of our file hosting infrastructure have been migrated as well.
