New in 0.8.7:
0.8.6 was never released due bugs found late in the release process.
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.

map generator improvements and variations (Desert, Winter, Marsh),
map descriptions, Broken Bridge map. Various improvements for

New in 0.8.4
We have some rule/engine changes worth of mentioning: Vision range
is now based on potential movement. Charge, backstab and steadfast
abilities use true doubling and halving rather than additive
percentage calculations. Ghosts have been changed to use new 'spirit'
movetype which has high resistance values against all "physical"
attacks and their movement is now slowed by water. Undeadfoot units
have been granted 'deep walking' - that is marching through deep
water.
And then some less detailed changes: new scenarios for 'Heir to
the Throne' and 'The Rise of Wesnoth' campaigns, scenario balancing
for all included campaigns. Graphics improvements, some new sound
effects, balanced units and added new units, multiplayer improvements,
code optimizations and bunch of bug fixes - see all details at
