This is a the thread for everything pertaining to the upcoming release of version 1.3. As with 1.2, we are somewhat behind the intended one-year release cadence, but again we have some great new features to show for it. I have marked some of the open issues and PRs as urgent and postponed the rest. The distinction is in several cases arbitrary, there are a number of goodies that I'd like to see in v1.3 if possible but that are not critical and might not make it; and some of the other open PRs can still be merged for v1.3 if we get a more timely response. As always, discuss if you disagree with any categorisations. I want to call the first snow feature freeze for Widelands 1.3 to take place one month from now on Tuesday, July 1st, 2025, at 00:00 CEST. As in previous release cycles, new features labelled Urgent can still be merged after the freeze. When all remaining urgent issues are fixed, we can schedule the winter time freeze and the release dates.

I'm very disappointed that we didn't get any progress on the warship spamming issue, and even the discussion stopped.

As we do claim to support only supported OS Versions, and windows 10 fell out of official support 2 days ago, there is no supported 32 Bit windows version available any more.

Good point. However my stance on compatibility in automated builds is usually that configurations we no longer officially support can just run on for as long as they still keep working, as it doesn't cost us anything to keep providing these builds, and only drop them when they stop to work smoothly. Although given that the windows build system needs changes every now and then after some dependency updates I expect this might not be very long actually

while checking on github I realized that macOS 13 has fallen out of support in september as well, and is already deprecated on github with the final end date of december the 4th. I will add the macos 15 intel runner to our config. But as Apple users tend to use their hardware very long as well, my suggestion would be to leave the macos 13 image in as long as possible in case we get the release before december 4th, to provide a last time macos 13 version.

Hi just a quick question on this, are you planning on stopping Windows 10 64-bit support? The aussies are coming, ya ho! ya ho!

Our Windows 64 bit builds should continue to run on Windows 10, as there is no external dependency to OS provided data or functions, as our builds are static builds with all needed packages included. so to keep it short, most probably widelands Versions after 1.3 will still run on Win10 64bit (as well as on Win7 64bit), although not official supported anymore.

On my part the reason was that reviews in this cycle were very slow, so I didn't want to start more new PRs, even though I had many ideas I wanted to work on...
