It's quite an impressive changelog, something you don't notice so much when regularly checking out CVS

"fixed bug where killing an enemy that caused an [endlevel] event to occur prevented advancement by the unit killing"

Yay! This is one I've been experiencing since 0.6.1, it's not a huge bug, but it is annoying all the same. Thanks!

Debian package has been uploaded by CyrilB... 0.6.99.2 should appear in Debian unstable in few days.

Some screenshots (which can be used on http://www.wesnoth.org screenshots page if there are any suitable ones). These are from surviving against overhelming enemy (new AI playtesting) game that I and Dave were playing.

Now that's a lot of units. What colors were you playing as?

Dave is yellow (elves), I am purple (elves). Game settings:

* 30 turns to survive [1]
* no shroud, no fow, 3 gold per village
* me and Dave allied, both starting with ~500 gold
* 2 loyalists, 2 northeners and 2 undead in alliance (against us) and each start with 999 gold

Why such settings? We are testing new AI code. What new AI code? http://changelog.wesnoth.org

(True, the screenshots are from 0.6.99.3-CVS and not from 0.6.99.2, but no-one can tell the difference)

[1] Game engine does not support survival multiplayer scenarios... we just agreed what are victory conditions for us.
