Wesnoth 1.4.6

[ivanovic]

Wesnoth 1.4.6 is out!

This is a bugfix release for the 1.4.x series and it is compatible with the other 1.4.x versions.

1.4.6 fixes several smaller bugs, provides some smaller and many bigger updates to many translations and ships several updated graphics (not listed in the changelog). Of course there is also the full changelog listing (almost) all the changes since 1.4.5. A changelog with changes that might be visible to most users (and only includes these) is the players changelog.

The Windows binary is already available. You can find it on the download page.

The MacOSX binary is already available. You can find it on the download page.

The OpenSolaris binary is not available yet. Once it is you can find it on the download page.

The Debian and Gentoo packages are already created, all known packagers have been contacted. Information about where to get the respective binaries or how to get them work you get on the Linux binaries site for the Linux binaries. Download links for the other supported systems will be listed at the downloads page once the binaries are available.

As a fallback you can also get the sources from http://files.wesnoth.org/ - you should first try to get files through SourceForge to help us save bandwidth.

The multiplayer server for 1.4.6 is already up and running. This server can be used to play with all 1.4.x releases. If you do encounter problems, please report them.

By now the add-on server already offers much content that should be completely compatible with all 1.4.x releases. If you encounter any problems with content from the add-on server not working as expected, please notify the content's author, most of them should be here in the forums.

If you find any bugs don't hesitate to report them, but please read the instructions on how to post bugs first. Instructions for bug reporting can be found at http://www.wesnoth.org/wiki/ReportingBugs.

Enjoy!

PS: Within the next seven days anyone asking when the binary for xyz will be ready will be banned and the post will be deleted. Such questions just distract the developers and packagers and don't do any good, so better not ask them...
Bugreports in the forums tend to get forgotten. You will get better results by following the guidelines and report them in the bugtracker.

Hooray for Wesnoth 1.4.6! I've heard of new graphics for naga and mermen, is this true?

[TheMasterOfBattle]

The new naga fighter looks awesome!

Also I like the fact that the chat-log no longer shows the joins of everyone anymore.

One interesting thing I just noticed, is when I was observing a game, and it ended, then after the person ended the game. For some odd reason it decided to show the it is now ____'s turn message.

[Livor]

I just compiled and installed it. I like Jetryl's new naga fighter.

So, where can I download a useable version of this game?

I have the day off, just looking for a free game to play and this looked good.

But I've spent an hour already looking around the website and all I can find are source code files

I don't understand why the developers wouldnt post binary and executible files. I understand its your own work as a hobby, but hey, why not compile and post it?

It sounds like some people to compile it it and post for use, but I havent found any.

I'd appreciate a link or two to a downloadable Mac OS X executible version of Wesnoth - I just don't want to get into compiling a file. I dont know how on a mac and I just don't want to spend the time, ya know?

Thanks. Game looks good, otherwise I would have given up already.

All I see are source code (binary) links.

Is it really that difficlt to find?

No, thats not difficult at all, I found that, but the text led me to believe that was just the source code and not an executable file. So I didnt download it because I dont know how to compile programs.

it does say "binary". Though maybe we could put a "Compiled (ready to play) versions" header before the links to the binaries.

That would be helpful for relatively computer illiterate people like me.

this sounds you were quite aware of the meaning:

I don't understand why the developers wouldnt post binary and executible files

[stealth4]

No, to me binary means 1s and 0s. I've never thought binary = executable (program file)

If the impression I gave, it was in error. Sometimes I'm illiterate and computer illiterate.

i guess marking it "ready to run" as ilor suggested would avoid confusion. or "download & play"? ^^
