Wesnoth 1.2.8 has been released. The main reason for this release was just another security vulnerability. A faulty add-on could read some of your files and post the content to all particiants of the multiplayer game. There was another issue that is described in official forum thread. Those are two rather serious issues so when using the 1.2.x stable branch please update to 1.2.8 as soon as possible. The MacOSX*, Windows and Gentoo* packages are already available at the download page. If you have problems, follow the instructions given here. If this does not help, please report them.

* available at the official site
