Wesnoth 1.11.9 is out!

Add-on descriptions include first and last upload times » The Description section of the Add-ons Manager dialog now includes the first and last upload times for each add-on.



Because the add-ons server did not permanently record the first upload time of newly published add-ons before, this particular datum is only available for new add-ons published on the 1.11.x instance since February 8th, 12:00 PM UTC.

Mouse control scheme changes » The mouse control scheme used in version 1.11.7 and earlier has been restored as the default in this release.



As with version 1.11.8, it is possible to add, modify, or remove mouse button assignments to game actions in Preferences → General → Hotkeys if the defaults do not suit you or do not take full advantage of your input device’s functionality (e.g., mice with more than three buttons).

RCA (default) AI gold saving default is reverted back to ‘off’ » Based on the feedback we received, we have turned gold saving off by default for the RCA AI, which is the AI engine used by default in most singleplayer and multiplayer scenarios. There is no clear overall benefit to having this feature turned on and it would require many scenarios to be rebalanced. There are, however, individual scenarios which definitely benefit from enabling gold saving. Help with identifying such scenarios would be much appreciated.

[i]Son of the Black Eye[/i]: Campaign rebalancing » Rebalancing of the campaign continues and is now complete for scenarios 1 (“End of Peace”) through 12 (“Giving Some Back”). Play-testing and feedback by others would be extremely helpful at this time. The first newly-rebalanced scenario of this release is “Shan Taum the Smug”, but some earlier scenarios have seen minor changes as well.
