Wesnoth 1.5.5: Development Release
Monday, October 6 2008
A new development release is ready. This is the sixth release in the 1.5.x tree. Have a look at this forum thread which describes the most important changes. 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 only the windows binary is ready. You can find it 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.

Wesnoth 1.4.5: Maintenance Release
Monday, September 8 2008
Wesnoth 1.4.5 has been released. This is a bugfix release for the stable 1.4.x branch. In this release several smaller bugs were fixed and many translations were updated. To celebrate the release and comment on it, have a look at this forum thread. There are still two versions of changelogs: a rather nice to read players changelog that only includes changes every player will probably notice (only translation updates this time) and the (rather) complete changelog with (almost) all the details, which is not much more to read either...
At the moment the Debian, Gentoo, Mac OSX and OpenSolaris binaries are ready. Once the others are done you can find them at the download page. We hope there are no bugs left, but if you find any, report them.
Update: The Windows binary is now available on the download page.
Update 2: Fixed windows binary is now available. If you had crashing problems with 1.4.5 you should upgrade to 1.4.5c.
