Note. This only impacts users using the German, Swedish and Brazilian Portuguese locales. Thanks to Henek for investigating and identifying the offending strings.

A crash was discovered as of this release, probably related to the increase in translated text. It impacts only these 3 well maintained locales, and only under Windows. The reason for it isn't precisely known (Freetype2 bug? some underlying Windows system thing it uses?). We do have a couple of workarounds though.

1) Easiest. Just switch to English or some other language you understand that is not German/Swedish/Brazilian Portuguese in config settings. Don't forget to restart Hedgewars after changing languages.

2) Change the crashing strings. Henek has thoughtfully fixed the few strings with similar ones that don't seem to crash.
a) Download http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6618468/Locale.zip
b) Go to C:\Documents and Settings\Hedgewars 0.9.14.1\share\hedgewars\Data\Locale and copy 3 files in the zip there.

We're gonna look into this, hopefully a better solution can be found.

Let us know if any other locales have problems!

Oh, then there is solution #3... install Linux

0.9.14.1 released. All users of 0.9.14 please upgrade

The following were dropped from 0.9.14 in the 0.9.14.1 bugfix release to due bugs/user complaints. They may reappear in future releases.

• Clicking on preview while on a map now switches to random terrain again. This fixes a desync.
• The linking of scheme/ammo checkbox has been removed. This fixes a desync.
• Weapon offsets were removed. Weapons now start from centre of hedgehog as in 0.9.13 again.
• Random mines are back to 0 to 3 seconds.
• Resurrector now resurrects multiple graves again.
• Place hedgehogs mode starts with teleport. King mode still requires selecting teleport or skip turn.

I'm honored and happy to announce that the new version (0.9.14) of Hedgewars is now available for download in the Download section! :D
(It's possible that not all versions for all supported operating systems are available for download yet, so be patient!)

::Highlights::

New devastating weapons!

Show no mercy and let your hedgehog army fry, smash, poison and destroy your enemies like never before!
Not only will the Flamethrower, Hammer, Sticky Mines and Old Limburger take your sadism to a new level, they will also let you forge new strategies for giving your challenger a hard time.
And if you are willing to sacrifice a hog for a good cause then you'll truly enjoy to wreak havoc behind enemy lines using the Piano Strike!

New powerful utilities!

You are lazy AND smart? You'll love the Portal Gun! Move yourself, hogs and things from A to B etc. and back! Be daring, be creative, be nasty! :D
