Wesnoth 1.7.8 aka 1.8-beta1: Development Release
Tuesday, November 10 2009
Finally we made it, the first beta for the upcoming stable 1.8 series is ready. Feel free to celebrate the new release with us in this forum thread.
As with the last releases, we continue to offer two versions of changelogs: a rather nice to read players changelog that only includes changes every player will probably notice and the (rather) complete changelog with (almost) all the details, which is likely to cause a serious headache...
At the moment the Windows package and the MacOSX packages are ready. You can find them at the download page. Once the others are done you can find them at the download page, too. Please keep in mind that it is a development release which might include quite many bugs. If you find one, report it.

Planned website downtime
Monday, August 10 2009
On August 11th, starting around 12:00 PM UTC we'll be taking most of the website down for about 3 hours for maintenance work. This means that the forums and wiki will be completely unavailable until we are finished. Additionally, user authentication services won't be available on the multiplayer servers for all versions until the forums are back online. Any users who join the servers within that timespan will be displayed as unauthenticated.
The add-ons servers for every Wesnoth versions should not be affected by the downtime.
Update: The maintenance was sucessfully completed in less than two hours, and both the wiki and the forums are back online. If you notice any problems, please report them in the forum thread.
