Changelog:
Version 1.3.4:
* Campaigns
* Two Brothers
* Modified guards events to delay the 2nd event if the player ends in a
fight in the first one.
* Added one row of terrain in the 3rd and 4th scenario to make it look
better with the new map border style.
* Heir to the Throne
* The maps of the following scenarios have been edited: "The Elves
Besieged", "Blackwater Port", "Bay of Pearls", "Crossroads", "The Siege
of Elensefar", "Dwarven Doors", "The Lost General", "Elven Council".
* In "Dwarven Doors", one of the Orcish Warlords has been changed into a
Sovereign and another one into a Slurbow for variety .
* In "The Lost General", fixed the bug that made the undead leader unable
to recruit.
* The Rise of Wesnoth
* The outlaws in the campaign (not elsewhere in the game) can now level up
to level 3.
* Added 2 extra turns to finish "Temple of the Deep" on all difficulties.
* Eastern Invasion
* The difficulty of "Northern Outpost" has been reduced by making the
villages spawn less outlaws.
* Changed the way Owaec joins the protagonist in "Two Paths". Now he keeps
all the XP he might get in "Northern Outpost".
* Descent into Darkness
* The unknown unit type (Royal Swordsman) bug in "Forever and ever, amen",
the bug that made the Foolish Heroes all have 30 hitpoints and a broken
dialog in the same scenario have all been fixed.
* Graphics
* Changed how the edges of the map are drawn, making small maps display
better on large resolutions. Not fully completed so it doesn't look
perfect yet.
* Added a blur effect to most ingame dialogs.
* New animations: troll whelp idle, young ogre idle, elvish fighter idle,
skeleton idle, general idle, master at armscrossbow & defend, pikeman
idle.
* Small improvements of footsteps: no time-of-the-day coloring and better
scaling.
* Language and translations
* Updated translations: Czech, Danish, French, German, Italian, Japanese,
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 'click anywhere to continue'
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replay and whether to delete autosaves have been replaced by user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.
