Fight to regain the throne of Wesnoth, of which you are the legitimate heir, or use your dread power over the Undead to dominate the land of mortals, or lead your glorious Orcish tribe to victory against the humans who dared despoil your lands. Wesnoth has many different sagas waiting to be played out. You can create your own custom units, and write your own scenarios or even full-blown campaigns. You can also challenge your friends or strangers and fight multi-player epic fantasy battles.

      Polish, Spanish, Swedish.
    * New translations: Lithuanian.

  * Map editor
   * Minimum map size reduced to 1 hex.
   * Fixed the random map generator.

  * User interface
   * Most popup windows are now buttonless with '

     behavior; to indicate this, such windows are translucent.
   * Maps smaller than the screen are now shown centered on the screen.
   * The two annoying end-of-scenario popups asking whether to save a
     replay and whether to delete autosaves have been replaced by user
     preference bits (in the "General" panel).
   * Allow to choose the direction to attack from if the unit can attack the
     target from multiple directions; the last highlighted adjacent hex now
     marks the direction to move to and attack from.
   * The third annoying end-of-scenario prompt, asking if you want to save
     an image of a new scenario immediately before entering it, is now only
     presented if the game was built with TINY_GUI.  Non-tiny systems do this
     automatically without asking.
   * Added a new experimental way of drawing map edges, this is under evaluation
     but causes a rather severe performance penalty especially while scrolling.
     This will be fixed once the decision of the final version has been made.
   * The movement hint on the pointed hex displays terrain defense and turns to
     reach better and in colors.
   * The movement hint now display "(1)" turns to reach when the unit has no
     moves left.
   * Improve the behavior of the units list dialog.
   * Right-click outside of a cancelable dialog closes it (useful with the
     attack dialog).
   * Allow to select an item in a context menu with right-clicking.
   * Restore search of no-team-only map labels.

  * Unit changes and balancing
    * Units with the '
healthy' trait now rest even when they move (but not
      attack/be attacked) instead of having a double resting bonus.
    * Increased the HP of the Skeleton Archer from 30 to 31.

  * Miscellaneous and bugfixes
   * Fixed a lag in the path rendering when there is a lot of units (bug #9268).
   * Fixed a bug causing instantaneous move of unit when using acceleration.
   * Reduced memory usage for the default zoom level.
