We are happy to announce the release of Stendhal 1.48: Aesthetically 
Pleasing.

We added new quests and new items, as well as a significant reward for 
finding a clover with four leafs.

On the graphic side the web- and Android clients saw notable new 
features: Creates can not be animated and when walking over high bridges 
the background now moves realistically based on its distance.

We released Stendhal 1.41: Encouraging Exploration

  Stendhal has a rich and diverse world with many places to explore, 
different types of monsters to fight and items to discover. It is now 
more beneficial to use weapons and armor that is appropriate for your 
level instead of aiming for the best weapon in the game at a low level.

Furthermore you can now gain attack-experiences for every hit you land 
against a creature, even if another player protects you from getting hurt.

Hi,

Stendhal 1.03 is out and ready to play! 

The new version unlocks three new challenging achievements which contribute to your score on the Hall of Fame. You can also visit the beautiful Ados Botanical Gardens and learn all about horticulture!

New features on http://stendhalgame.org allow you to change your registered email address. It's a good idea to keep that up to date incase you lose your password or if the server admins need to contact you about any unauthorised access to your account.

You can read the full announcement and changelog at http://arianne.sourceforge.net/news/stendhal-1-03-records.html

Have fun :)

Hi,

Stendhal 1.02 has been released, it includes client features to make the game more playable on various platforms and interesting new special effects.

The client improvements make the game more playable on small netbooks, Macs, and without a mouse.

Special effects include zone colouring and lights to add atmosphere, creature transitions (where seemingly normal humans turn into vampires as they attack you), and clocks which really tell the time. For new players, the tutorial system got a much more attractive UI, with a telepathic NPC seeming to help.

You can read the full announcement and changelog at http://arianne.sourceforge.net/news/stendhal-1-02-released-overcoming-darkness.html

Have fun :)

Hi,

Stendhal 1.01 has just been released, it's the first feature release after the stable release of Stendhal 1.0!

There are lots of changes including chat tabs and new npcs who hint what quests you should try. You can read about them at http://arianne.sourceforge.net/news/stendhal-1-01-released-community-spirit.html

Also, Marauroa 3.9.2 was released. Marauroa 3.9.2 introduces a better algorithm to store hashed passwords (it can be disabled with password_hash=md5 in the configuration file server.ini for compatibility). It fixes an issue that prevented clients from caching transferable content. Finally, it works around a bug in OpenJDK webstart which prevents clients from connecting to a server if a http proxy, without a socks proxy, is configured in Firefox. More about Marauroa at http://arianne.sourceforge.net/engine/marauroa.html

Have fun :)

kymara on behalf of the Arianne team.

P.s. please help us promote the release by sharing the announcement - this one has sharing buttons too! http://stendhalgame.org/news/stendhal-1-01-released-community-spirit-89.html
