Updating previous versions of Wesnoth
Hi guys. So I need some help from the community in updating my version of Battle for Wesnoth. Unfonturnately, as evidenced by my username, I have no idea what I'm doing. Everytime an update has come out I've had to download it, but because I don't know how to update the game, I've stuck to playing the older version so don't have to restart everything. So I need someone to explain to me how to update it. I have a MacBook Pro form mid 2012. It has OS X El Capitan Version 10.11.16. Additionally, my current version of Wesnoth is 1.12.5 and I would like it updated to the latest stable version.
Thanks guys.
Thanks guys.

After you've downloaded 1.12.6, you just install it like you've done with 1.12.5. You can just de-install 1.12.5 then, but make sure to not delete your userdata folder, where your saves/add-ons/etc are located, so the updated version can make use of those.

There's an "i" button at the bottom left of the titlescreen. Click that, and it gives you the path to your userdata folder.

...in 1.13. In 1.12.x you find that in Preferences -> (General ->) Paths
Try out the dark board theme.
