Wesnoth 1.1.9 is out!

1.1.9 is our second beta for the forthcoming 1.2 release.

1.1.9 contains important bugfixes that should improve the playing experience. It also contains lots of translation updates.

You can check details at the changelog.

gentoo ebuilds are ready too !

as usual you can find them at:
http://www.dorf.cc/priv/markus/wesnoth-dev.tbz
http://www.dorf.cc/priv/markus/wesnoth-svn.tbz

at the moment you have to unmask freetype-2.2 in gentoo
to use it because dependencies have changed to fix the memory leaks
with freetype-2.1

have fun playing

Are you sure? It compiles and runs with out any obvious font problems with freetype-2.1.10-r2. Do you mean that I just have to deal with memory leaks or something will break eventually?

Gentoo's package.mask says about freetype-2.2

package.mask wrote: removes internal API headers, breaks stuff that depends on internals

Given the long list of dependancies on freetype I'd rather not go breaking everything else on my system to play wesnoth.

* added profile key to female thief to prevent use of male image

What does that mean? You can choose use female leaders instead of male ones?

No, it just means that the female thieves don't get the male thief portraits. It would be nice though to have someone who'd want to write player-readable versions of the changelogs.

Start top in a terminal, start Wesnoth in another terminal seesion, click on the credits and watch them for 5 mins. Have a look at your mem usage. Will be at >200MB only for Wesnoth. The mem leak happens at *hundreds* of places since it is related to printing fonts. This is only the place where you see it easyly. This leak is the reason that Wesnoth will use all of your ram after playing for lets say 3 hours. So good luck with this borked version of freetype. (I did already switch to 2.2.x and it seems to ork nicely for me)

Well, not to forget some other leaks which unfortunately got closed post 1.1.9, so expect further reduced RAM usage in the next version.

If I make this from the source, do I need to remove my previous version before I do "make install", or can it overwrite without causing problems?

manywele · Post by **manywele** » August 27th, 2006, 11:13 pm

Ok, thanks. I'll choose memory leaks in a game over possibly borking things I need for doing work. (I'm not sure I can find 3 straight hours to game any time soon anyway.)

Open source, it's all about choice.
