This release, 0.8.7, will most likely have it's fair share of bugs
and we need your help to get them hunted down. May the force be
with you when you are playtesting.
Highlights for the release: Scenario balancing for 'Heir to the
Throne' and 'The Eastern Invasion' campaigns. User interface
improvements: shadows for labels to make them visible on each type
of terrain and in-game help system improvements. Graphics improvements:
terrains and transitions, unit images and animations, portraits,
The Green Isle map. Unit balancing: ghosts are now more vulnerable
to holy and less vulnerable to "physical" attacks. 18 new units
added. Slovenian as new translation, 17 updated translations.
Multiplayer improvements: renewed lobby, leader indicator, random
map generator improvements and variations (Desert, Winter, Marsh),
map descriptions, Broken Bridge map. Various improvements for
logging system, wesnothd network threading, Out of Sync detection
and reporting. Preparations for 320x240 resolution support. Image,
data and code cleanups. Lots of bug fixes - see all details at

attacks and their movement is now slowed by water. Undeadfoot units

water.
