1.17.16 has been released! The announcement for 1.17.15 was skipped due to a bug where advancing to the next scenario during some campaigns would cause Wesnoth to crash, which has been fixed with this release.

Additionally, while this wasn’t a change made with this specific release, on the minimum Windows version has been increased to Windows 10 1903. This is due to the fix for https://github.com/wesnoth/wesnoth/issues/1549, which also results in Wesnoth not working if the path to where it’s installed contains non-ascii characters. There is no impact to macOS or Linux, since they didn’t have this problem in the first place. If the path to where you’ve installed Wesnoth on Windows contains only ascii characters, there is also no impact.

And finally, the most notable improvement made for this release is the addition of achievements for the Liberty and Descent into Darkness campaigns.
