Wesnoth 1.4.5

[ivanovic]

Wesnoth 1.4.5 is out!

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

1.4.5 fixes several smaller bugs, provides some smaller and many bigger updates to many translations and ships several updated graphics including new portraits for the mage line. Of course there is also the full changelog listing (almost) all the changes since 1.4.4. A changelog with changes that might be visible to most users (and only includes these) is the players changelog.

One new bug was introduced with this release. That is the AI might try, after being ambushed, to move a unit to the location where the ambushed unit is located resulting in a crash. A fix for this is included in this commit.

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

The OpenSolaris binary is already available. 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 1.4.5 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.

I don't want to ask when the Windows binary will be ready

I only want to ask, when it is ready, will it contain that fix?

I can't put that file for my own in the directory, becuase there is no "src"...

No. I didn't apply any patches.

So, how can we get this fix for the new bug without waitung for 1.4.6?

Edit: All icons don't have an image in the Win 1.4.5

I stand corrected.

Lack of icons warrants a reupload. I'll also apply the patch. But I'll do it tomorrow. I had enough windows for today.

Thank you very much!

[loonycyborg]

Reuploaded.

Reuploaded.

You are the man! Thank your very much!

And this binary contains the following fix?
* Fixed crash when invisibility cache wasn't cleared correctly

[loonycyborg]

Yes. I've applied the patch and recompiled.

[Jack the Ripper]

Yes. I've applied the patch and recompiled.

Thx, you rock!

Not sure if this is the right place for it.

I've played only two games of MP on this version. However in both instances when a player has left and I have taken control myself, the game crashes. The only report I get is from Windows itself reporting an error and that the program was closed.

[loonycyborg]

An updated installer is available which contains binaries compiled with gcc-3.4.5-dw2 which should fix stability issues in multiplayer.

[Cataphract]

I've had way more crashes since the last patch. In fact, I hadn't had any crashes at all until this update. Now I crash whenever I close the game (not such a big deal), whenever I load a game while a game is in progress (more of a big deal), and my friend crashes whenever he wins a game (REALLY big deal).

I'll try the updated installer and report back.
