Wesnoth 1.10-rc1 (a.k.a. 1.9.14)
Wesnoth 1.10-rc1 (a.k.a. 1.9.14) is out!
This is the first release candidate for the upcoming 1.10 series. We are confident that we are really close to 1.10 now, but we need you to test the game and report all bugs you can find so that we can still fix them before we release 1.10.
Content creators should start porting their add-ons so that they work with the upcoming 1.10 series. Since we have been in a feature freeze for some time already, WML should be rather stable and receive no further syntax or behavior changes. The add-ons server that is currently used for 1.9.x will also serve as the 1.10 add-ons server, so please upload your (updated!) content there. Translators should also be working on finishing their work before 1.10 — the string freeze had already begun with the previous release of version 1.9.10.
This release mainly consists of bugs fixes that accumulated since 1.9.13, the fourth beta release. They are enough fixes to finally call this version a “release candidate”, so yes, we are confident that we are really close to releasing 1.10.0!
Important changes and new features
Known Issues (might be fixed in the next release(s))
There are no known issues at the moment.
Of course there is also the full changelog listing (almost) all the changes since 1.9.13. A changelog with changes that might be visible to most users (and only includes these) is the players changelog.

Re: Wesnoth 1.10-rc1 (a.k.a. 1.9.14)
So, how can I get this on Fedora? Is there a repo I can use, or do I need to compile from source?
I realize that there may not be a package yet, and sorry if I'm being pushy. Just wondering.

There's no development package for Fedora afaik. However, I use Open Build Service to build rpms for openSUSE, and it can compile for Fedora too. But I'd need a little assistance from somebody with a working Fedora installation to set up the build environment. PM me if interested.

Why were the awesome tropical forest tiles removed, and replaced with the old ones? Was it because they didn't match any of the other forest graphics?

Re: Wesnoth 1.10-rc1 (a.k.a. 1.9.14)
The old ones are a palm grove while the new ones are actual rain forest. So the change visually broke maps with beach-like terrain style, and there's many of them.Pewskeepski wrote:Why were the awesome tropical forest tiles removed, and replaced with the old ones?

The terrain is good but it can only be added once editing of the maps is allowed again as well.

Re: Wesnoth 1.10-rc1 (a.k.a. 1.9.14)
Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that unit portraits look odd in 1.9.14? They look fine in the help, but in-game, when a unit speaks, they seem to have jagged lines - as if the image was rescaled incorrectly.
(I Just wanted to check this wasn't due to some setting on my end before lodging a bug report. I'm on Windows XP.)

Re: Wesnoth 1.10-rc1 (a.k.a. 1.9.14)
I believe it’s simply a limitation of the scaling algorithm, but I have indeed noticed that countless times before when playing on lower resolutions than (approximately, since I usually play in maximized windowed mode) 1280x800.
There might have been an attempt to solve it before and it might have been reverted.

I don't know if this part is fixed yet, but the scaling algorithm was shared between the minimap and the portraits, but the minimap looks terrible if it's smoothly scaled, so the first fix was to re-break the scaling algorithm.

wmllint: The "unknown %s% referred to by id" error message is still not outputting on my system. The obvious difference between 1.9 and the old 1.8 is the "and subtag depth >0" part. I don't know what the "subtag depth" code was supposed to do, but I got the function back after I removed it. I didn't test whether the unmodified wmllint would actually work with a more up to date Python, or on Windows.
Also, the compression of the five old warlord variations to three portrait variants, for 1.8rc1, really should be updated, now that more portraits are available in 1.9. I grepped the campaigns folder, and only two scenarios are making use of grunt-5 and 6 (and none grunt-4). I know it's too late for the mainline campaigns that have already been converted, but there is old UMC that might get ported to 1.9 and 1.10. (In retrospect, it might have been nice to have wmllint add a comment to those profiles that were doubled up, so that they could be updated when more images became available.)

Re: Wesnoth 1.10-rc1 (a.k.a. 1.9.14)
Your first issue has to wait till 1.11, your second should be fixed (thanks), and I don't actually understand what you mean with the third, can you please rephrase ?

Assuming you got the right name, that’s an add-on and we don’t have anything to do with add-ons (i.e. wrong topic and forum section).

Local data directory name
Just compiled Wesnoth 1.10 under Ubuntu 11.04. The game created the directory for the local data under the name
/home/username/.local/share/wesnoth/1.1
and not as it probably should be as
/home/username/.local/share/wesnoth/1.10
is this an error?

Re: Wesnoth 1.10-rc1 (a.k.a. 1.9.14)
This bug has already been fixed and packagers were notified so that they could include the patch (I know that the .deb and the gentoo ebuild at least do so!). Have a look at this bug report and the linked commit fixing the bug: https://gna.org/bugs/index.php?19318Ant wrote:Local data directory name
