Wesnoth 0.9.6

Post by **isaac** » August 28th, 2005, 1:52 pm

Greetings from the Akademy.

Wesnoth 0.9.6 is out!

As the previous release, this one is just another step towards a shiny Wesnoth 1.0. It contains mainly bugfixes but also new portraits for lots of units and, of course, translation updates.

Several translation teams have already got the core packages translated, so British English, Latin, Swedish, German and Catalan translations will be for sure in Wesnoth 1.0. If you would like Wesnoth 1.0 translated to your language, you still can help your language team.

You can check details at http://changelog.wesnoth.org.

Downloads:

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wesn ... z?download
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wesn ... 5?download

You can get the xdelta from the 0.9.5 source to 0.9.6 here (1.6MB):

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wesn ... a?download
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wesn ... 5?download

As a fallback you can also get files from
http://files.wesnoth.org/ - you should first try to get files
through SourceForge to help us save bandwidth.

server.wesnoth.org will soon be running 0.9.6 and can be used for multiplayer games.

Instructions for bug reporting can be found -
http://wesnoth.slack.it/?ReportingBugs

MacOS X, Mandrakelinux, Windows and BeOS packagers have been informed. Debian packages are already uploaded to Sid and will be available tonight.

Enjoy it!

I didn't think we were going through the integers to 1, i thought we would just jump, so whats the expected time it'll be done.

IIRWIIR, it's quite probable the next release is the first release candidate for 1.0.

Best regards

Ok, ok, it was i was just surprised about it, as people like ivanovic hinted at the 3rd of September. So no need to pull a IIRWIIR on me.

Anyway, I've build an image for 0.9.6 at
ftp://victor.teaser.fr/pub/lwa/wesnoth/ ... _0.9.6.dmg

It's 42 Mb (instead of 50)

I haven't had the time to look at the changes you have made... so no. When I have the time I'll have a look at them

I'm doing an install kit for Mac with few requirments (Xcode 2.1, SDL frameworks family) and a single step (copy the kit into the source directory, open the project and press "build" on the "Disk image" target). Should be ready in the next days.

Great news:)

BTW why archeiving in tar.gz? 7z works better for both source code and executables.

Probably because it does not need extra software to use it.
tar and gzip are very common. It may be a good idea to offer an extra archive compressed with bzip2 who offer a better compression ratio and who is common too.

On MacOSX, the prefered way is to use disk images you just have to mount by clicking on. The disk image may be internaly compressed (with gzip. bzip2 is only supported since 10.4). But it mean that only Mac users are able to use this images.

If you want ot use POSIX utilities, you should use .pax.Z, but nobody use this in real life.

PowerPC's can't unzip .7z, as far as I can see.

You mean handhelds? Do handhelds have GCC?
