The Widelands Development Team is proud to announce the immediate availability of the stable release Widelands 1.2.

Since the release of version 1.1, we implemented several hundreds of new features and bugfixes; for example, to name just a few of the highlights:

- **UI Plugins** are add-ons that can add more functionality to the user interface
- **Naval Warfare** preview: Invade foreign coasts using warships!
  *This is included as a preview feature and needs to be explicitly enabled in the game setup screen.*
- **Soldier garrisons** for ports and headquarters
- Balancing changes to the Amazon economy
- Fifth scenario for the Frisian campaign
- More settings in the game setup screen, such as configurable durations for timed win conditions
- Diplomacy handling for the computer players
- Stick **pinned notes** onto map fields to mark important points
- **Hyperlinks** let you navigate within the encyclopedia and to the online help
- Easy **maps publishing** inside the editor
- High-resolution images for many more units
- Accessibility enhancements for many user interface components
- Expose more functionality to the add-ons and scenario scripting interface
- Fixed many crashes and hangs and enhanced error handling

Widelands 1.2 is translated completely into Catalan, German, Hungarian, Low German, and Russian, and the translations for 8 other languages are more than ⅔ complete.

Widelands is distributed for Windows (64-bit and 32-bit), Mac OS X ≥ 12.0 (Intel 64-bit) and Arm (≥ 14.0), Linux (AppImage, 64 bit), and in source code. For Linux users, we also provide a Flatpak package and a Ubuntu PPA and try to make compiling as easy as possible, and most distributions will pick up Widelands 1.2 into their repositories very quickly. Both binary and source packages are available under the links below and from our [Download](https://www.widelands.org/wiki/Download/) page.
