Hey everyone, long time no see.

This is an announcement for Mac users all over the world, Hedgewars is available in homebrew - http://brew.sh/!

This heavily simplifies building requirements, emulating a linux package manager with the simplicity of OSX. The instructions are fairly straightforward once you have Homebrew installed (check the link above if you don't).

Open a terminal and just run

brew tap homebrew/games
brew install homebrew/games/hedgewars
brew linkapps hedgewars

and it will download the latest stable binary! If you want to customize your version (for example to enable video recording or local server) check the various options with

brew info homebrew/games/hedgewars

Now if you want and try the bleeding edge version, for example a beta (hint hint), now you can just do

brew install homebrew/games/hedgewars --HEAD

Feel free to report any problems and positive feedback in this thread! Cheers

Because one can never have enough cake.

In the BehindTheHedge series we provide brief glimpses into what's going on at the development side of the game.

And although we core developers are quite busy these days,
we are still working hard on the next release of Hedgewars!

So, in this post let's talk about what's happening to room filters, the in-game chat input system and some other things!
