Changes since 1.15.18

Read on for more details about the most notable fixes and additions since the previous stable release. A full list of changes may be found in our changelog.
General
  • Changing volume with lua
    Using lua to change the volume no longer sets it to 0 instead.
  • Disable [modify_unit] fast path
    A performance improvement for [modify_unit] has been disabled, which will fix a variety of graphical glitches that can occur when certain unit attributes are modified.
Known Issues
General issues:
  • 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.
  • Preprocessor errors corrupt cache (issue #1924). If this happens you have to wipe your cache. That can be done in Preferences → Cache.
The multiplayer server for 1.16 is up and running. This server allows players using all stable releases from this series.

The add-ons server for 1.16 is already running. It was started for 1.15.14 and it serves all stable releases from this series.
If you encounter any problems involving add-ons not working as expected, please notify the content’s author or maintainer.

If you find any bugs, do not hesitate to report them, but please read the instructions on how to report bugs first!

We require your help for finding and fixing issues, no matter how obvious, trivial, or complicated they seem!

Have fun!

The stable branch flatpak is still showing as 1.14.17, not 1.16.0 as expected. I have not tried to install it yet though so I don't know if this is just a labelling error or not. I am going by the flatpak remote-info output.

https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.wesnoth.Wesnoth shows 1.16 . Maybe you need to do flatpak update before it shows correct info.

I just downloaded the flatpak version now, and was given the option:

Code: Select all

Similar refs found for ‘org.wesnoth.Wesnoth’ in remote ‘flathub’ (system):

   1) app/org.wesnoth.Wesnoth/x86_64/1.14
   2) app/org.wesnoth.Wesnoth/x86_64/stable
Selecting the second does give me 1.16.0.
