This is a DEVELOPMENT release of "Battle for Wesnoth". Be careful when to
upgrade this game package, since it may affect your [or your users'] saved
games or result in unexpected incompatibilities or changes.

With development release 0.8.8 the developers switched to a different
release model and discontinued their stable branch. There won't be another
stable release until 1.0 is ready. Version 0.8, which was the last stable
release from June/July 2004, is quite old, unsupported, and is also
incompatible with the official game server at wesnoth.org. The game server
will run always the most recent version of the software shortly after its
release.
