Wesnoth 1.5.6: Development Release
Sunday, November 23 2008
A new development release is ready. This is the seventh release in the 1.5.x tree. Over the last 7 weeks many changes were implemented. A new campaign was added, and a really popular campaign was brought back into shape. Now is the perfect time for translators to start working on the development branch, too. Have a look at this forum thread to learn more about this release and to find out how you can help with translations.
As with the last releases, we continue to 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 and the MacOSX binaries 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 many bugs. If you find one, report it.
Wesnoth 1.4.6: Maintenance Release
Sunday, November 9 2008
Wesnoth 1.4.6 has been released. This is a bugfix release for the stable 1.4.x branch. In this release several smaller bugs were fixed and many translations were updated. To celebrate the release and comment on it, have a look at this forum thread. There are still two versions of changelogs: a rather nice to read players changelog that only includes changes every player will probably notice (only translation updates this time) and the (rather) complete changelog with (almost) all the details, which is not much more to read either...
At the moment the Debian, Gentoo, MacOSX and Windows binaries are ready. Once the others are done you can find them at the download page. We hope there are no bugs left, but if you find any, report them.
