The most important changes in this release include the rebrand to Wespal (previously known as Wesnoth RCX), the new startup workflow that no longer requires you to immediately open an image file, GIMP XCF support for Windows and macOS, building from source requires Qt 6.4+, and Wespal now has official macOS support. I wrote a lot more about this release on my website.

IMPORTANT: The first time you launch a new version of Wespal you may see a warning like this:

Windows protected your PC

Windows Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting.

“Wespal” can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software.

This software needs to be updated. Contact the developer for more information.

For Windows:

• To add an exception for the app, click on the More Info link, and then click on the newly-revealed Run Anyway button at the bottom.

For macOS:

• To add an exception for the app, you need to use Finder to browse to the folder where Wespal is installed, and attempt to open it twice using right-click + Open. The second time you do this, there will be an Open button underneath the warning, which you can then click on to allow Wespal to launch.
