I'm proud to announce that a few days ago Wesnoth turned 20 years old! Starting with version 0.1 tagged on June 18th 2003, Wesnoth has grown with the help of hundreds of volunteers continually improving all aspects of the game from its music and art to its engine functionality, game features, and balance. And while admittedly Wesnoth is no longer at the peak of its popularity, there are still many developers, translators, add-on authors, moderators, and members of the community helping to keep Wesnoth going strong. It was due to all your help that 1.16 was able to be released with significant improvements over 1.14, and 1.18 is looking to be even better with a variety of new features and refinements over 1.16. Thank you everyone for all your work, and here's to another 20 years of Wesnoth!
For anyone who wants to check out older versions of Wesnoth, versions going back to 1.0 are available on our SourceForge repository at https://sourceforge.net/projects/wesnoth/files/ for Windows and macOS (32-bit however). For those interested in going even further back, you can check out https://irydacea.me/blog/category/wesnoth-evolution/ where back in 2010 Iris took a look through Wesnoth versions 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3.
