Welcome to Widelands.org

Build 17 is out of the doors

That's it people! We've done it. Another release of Widelands is out to the public. I won't repeat release notes and Changelog here again -- read the rc1 news post for that.

We needed 2 release candidates this time, nevertheless I was very pleased with the whole process. Congratulations to all for another successful round in the live cycle of Widelands!

Finals Tonight!

Ladies and Gentlemen: The finals of the 2012 widelands tournament are tonight. ivh and ixprefect are battling it out - both will play Atlanteans. I suggest you hang around in our chat, maybe you get a chance to observe the game. Otherwise - I'll keep you posted and review the game as soon as I find a minute.

Update

The finals has been played and was quite nice: ixprefect got off to a good start while ivh had some trouble managing his wood economy at the beginning. ixprefect used this weakness and attacked very early backed by his stronger economy. ivh had no chance to come back. Congratulations to ixprefect for winning the second widelands tournament. As always, you can find the replays in the Wiki.

This concludes the tournament. Thanks goes out to Fopper for having the idea and organizing it. And thanks to all the players for the interesting games!

And another round

The first week of rc1 revealed a critical bug and some more in the seafaring. We fixed the critical and one of the bigger in seafaring - others are nuisances but non critical. However, the critical bug means that we need to go another round. So here it is: rc2

Please give this another spin. We missed the Ubuntu deadline (again - this is a kind of tradition with widelands) therefore we are no longer under time pressure. Consequently, we will test this one for two full weeks and then release b17 out in the wild. Or rc3 if another critical issue shows up.
