Wesnoth 1.14.2

Post by Iris »

Wesnoth 1.14.2 is out!

This is a regular maintenance release for the stable 1.14.x series, delivering bug fixes and translation updates. As is the norm for updates to the current stable series, this release is fully compatible with previous 1.14.x versions.

A full list of changes and new features added since version 1.12 can be found in the release notes for this series.

Changes since 1.14.1
  • A full list of changes may be found in our main changelog.
  • We also provide an alternative players changelog including only those changes deemed to be relevant to the average player.
Read on for more details about the most notable fixes and additions in this release since the previous stable release:
General
Descent into Darkness:
  • In “A small Favor”, disabled an unintended way to win the scenario.
Heir to the Throne:
  • Fixed an issue where the game would have a 50% chance of crashing upon starting “The Sceptre of Fire” (see Miscellaneous).
Northern Rebirth:
  • Fixed various issues with AI behavior and balancing in “Infested Caves”.
  • Minor map tweaks and improvements to “Infested Caves”.
  • Removed a bottleneck in “The Pursuit” and tweaked the Rod of Justice.
Sceptre of Fire:
  • Fixed various issues with the volcano eruption in “Caverns of Flame”
Secrets of the Ancients:
  • Bats are transformed to normal ones already after scenario 5.
The Rise of Wesnoth:
  • Fixed the campaign crashing back to the main menu in some cases (issue #2912).
Under the Burning Suns:
  • Various Quenoth unit graphics updates.
  • Fixed MP lobby player list scrolling to top when it changes.
  • Fixed game list scrolling back to the selected item when it changes (issue #3016).
  • Removed player list sorting options in the MP lobby. The list is now automatically sorted alphabetically, friends first.
  • Fixed turn replay function.
  • Added a button to access the version info dialog to Preferences.
  • Rearranged campaign difficulty menu layout.
  • List boxes (MP lobby game list in particular) now keep the scroll position when they change, instead of keeping the selected item visible (issue #3016).
  • Fixed the first unit sometimes not being selected when opening the Recall dialog.
  • Fixed a crash when using very large portraits in [message] (issue #2912).
  • [message] no longer scrolls to units through fog or shroud, so that it matches 1.12’s behavior again.
  • Fixed unit halos persisting after undoing recalls (issue #3065) and intensity doubling during AMLA level up animations.
  • Fixed leveling animations fading units to black instead of white (WML issue, see Miscellaneous).
  • Fixed a minor team coloring mistake in the north-facing Revenant standing animation.
  • Fixed memory leak in terrain filter code. In a huge map with Silver Mages, it could leak several gigabytes of memory in a long session.
  • Removed hidden terrains that were not supposed to make it to 1.14: ^Prg,^Prgo, ^Pwd, ^Pwdo
  • Fixed animation-wide text_color and blend_color keys being overwritten. This fixes level-in and level-out animations sometimes fading to black instead of white.
  • Fixed [animate_unit] freezing the game when observing MP games (issue #2970).
  • Fixed carryover behaving differently when loading a start-of-scenario save (issue #3152).
  • Fixed savegames being created even when not needed (issue #3150).
  • Fixed handling of extra_recruit in planning mode (issue #3100), as well as skirmisher abilities and filter_recall.
  • Fixed a possible segfault at game end.
  • Fixed [resource] require_resource.
  • Fixed require_scenario=yes not working with map_generation (issue #3105).
  • Replaced deprecated Lua code and all remaining uses of FOREACH and MESSAGE macros in mainline.
  • Fixed recruiting with the Experimental AI not working on maps without enemies, such as the first two turns of Dark Forecast; as well as recruiting evaluations sometimes not being updated.
  • Fixed [color_adjust] interacting poorly with time of day color shifts and values outside the [-255, 255] range (issue #3144).
  • Fixed a regression from 1.13.10 where modification option values could not be properly saved in arrays.
  • Added stricter validation to ensure units cannot have negative hitpoints, except during specific attack-related events.
  • Added deprecation notices for several macros that had them missing before.
  • Fixed error in the Lua random map generator when flipping the map. Specifically, this also fixes an assert at the start of HttT S7 (Sceptre of Fire) that had a 50% chance of being triggered.
  • [change_theme] no longer causes a Lua error when theme= is not specified instead of explicitly set to an empty string. It also no longer requires running a separate action to update the UI afterwards (e.g. [redraw]) and the status panels are updated immediately as well.
Known Issues
Bugs specific to Windows:
  • OneDrive can interfere with Wesnoth’s user config/data directory set-up, leading to all kinds of different manifestations of the issue. There’s no fix available yet. The recommendation for the time being is to avoid syncing the Wesnoth user directory with OneDrive.
General bugs:
  • Preprocessor errors corrupts cache (#1924). If this happens you have to wipe your cache. That can be done in Preferences → Cache.
Bugs specific to macOS:
  • Trackpad tap clicking is sometimes not recognized (forum post).
  • Unofficial builds with OpenMP support enabled randomly freeze (bug #1260).

I can reproduce that. For now all I can recommend is a shorter tooltip. :P
