1.7.12 aka beta5

January 21st, 2010

We should be there … Last … Maybe lol
With this release have adjusted many bugs that still plague this version, but the product seems mature for her fallen on the field.
I am not here to bother with the changelog, but know that it is a lot longer than the previous …
The packages were loaded on TuxFamily and corrected (after my mistake) while I have space issues on Launchpad, so there are only packages for karmic.
Good game XD

November 2nd, 2009

here is now a few days the new version of wesnoth devel. Sorry for the delay but I had to find a solution to a problem of compilation.

IMPORTANT: For reasons of dependency (this version onwards) you can install it on debian (squezze and Sid) and Ubuntu (karmic and lynxes).

We are considering eliminating the stable release to upload a version suitable for unstable lenny. If you have any suggestions let in to this mail.

I only wish you a good game.

Since this version, I decided to lean to compiled packages for Debian, so as to reduce errors.

Not assure you that in the future continue to package, but before I leave I will understand if you can add this change also on the official repositories and will warn you.

Given the change in the packages must remove the old version with:
 # apt-get remove wesnoth-unstable
and install the new one.

I end by reminding you that you can download packages from here.
