Wesnoth 1.8.6 is out now!
This is a bugfixing release for the 1.8.x series. It fixes several outstanding bugs and updates many translations. The stable package is meant to be used as a stable and rather balanced version of the game. Each version of the 1.8 branch is compatible to each other. Version 1.8.6 is the latest stable version. This version is recommended for most players since the 1.8 online multiplayer community is very large and user-made campaign server has a robust content selection.
If you find any issues with this release, please report them at
http://bugs.wesnoth.org.
Some things for you to keep in mind:
* Savegames from each 1.8.x version should be compatible with this release. Savegames from 1.9.x do not work though.
* I added the same button mapping for the gaming buttons that is already known from the 1.9.x series to this 1.8.x release, too. This is the new button mapping:
Code:
A - recruit
Y - recall
X - next unit
B - undo
In general Wesnoth is identical on your Pandora and on your normal desktop system. That means that you can of course move savegames between the two and stuff like this. The same applies for multiplayer games with Windows, OSX and Linux users. I hope that you will enjoy this new release.

Wesnoth 1.9.6 is out now!
This is a development release, so it is likely to have some issues you would not expect in a stable series. Things are still in motion, many changes are happening and especially translations are incomplete since barely any translation team has started working on this new line. This is intentional since their work would be wasted otherwise if the stuff does still change further. So if you are using a translation of Wesnoth and see some English strings: this is no bug.

Some things for you to keep in mind:
* 1.8.x saves are likely not to be compatible with 1.9.x games. This is no bug and you can install both, 1.8.x and 1.9.x in parallel to play them. Eg you will have by far more players on the multiplayer server for 1.8.x than you will find for 1.9.x. On the other hand 1.9.x does feature many great changes, especially seeing all the new terrain graphics in action is really lovely.
* The new download has more than 300MB.
