A brief history of Warzone releases on Windows, Linux and Mac.

 

Introduction

Since 1999 there have been almost 200 releases (including developer snapshots).

This page lists about 150 of the more widely used releases (demos, patches, alphas/betas and full releases) and provides links to the developer snapshots for the terminally inquisitive!

There are still more releases not referenced here, mainly due to exhaustion after gathering info on the major releases, such as the PlayStation releases and the defunct Warzone 2100 Portable project.

I hope you find this list useful, it took bloody ages to create! It's quite staggering how much effort has gone in to Warzone over the years by people donating their time to keep this fantastic game alive!

Pumpkin Studios

Pumpkin Studios were the original game developers and made the following releases for Windows platform:

N.E.W.S.T. & Pumpkin-2

After the demise of Pumpkin Studios, a group of fans formed in to NEWST to continue development on the game. They made the following releases:

A lot of documentation was also created during this phase: Warzone documentation (zip file).

Sourceforge & Berlios

It was decided to make Warzone multi-platform, adding Linux and Mac support, hence a sudden version numbering change:

VersionDateRelease NotesDownloadSource Code

GitHub 2.0.2.3

(2.) 0.2.1Jul 16 2005Release Notes Browse Downloads
(2.) 0.2.2Jul 27 2005Release Notes Browse Downloads

Numerous "trunk" development snapshot releases were also made, spanning the (2.) 0.x branch through to the 2.2.x branch. These have not been listed here or in the next section, however you can download them from the GNA archive.

The Warzone 2100 Project

Finally, The Warzone 2100 Project took over and are still working on Warzone to this very day.

(info) This list is in version order, not date order. For example, the dates for 3.0.0 releases are correct (2010).

(info) If you click a "Browse Downloads" link and get something ending in .tar.gz or tar.bgz then the releases are no longer available (the file you see is the data used to make the releases so you can still build them if you have a build environment set-up).

Changes to the Javascript API have also been tracked since version 3.1 beta 1.

There have also been numerous "MASTER" releases - these are development snapshots to allow people to test out certain things that are being worked on prior to a formal beta release. These have not been listed above, but you can see a full list on the Warzone website.

The future?

The Warzone Project continue to develop Warzone 2100 and make new releases. A great deal of work has already been done on the 3.2 branch, including lots of extensions to the Javascript API.

There are also rumours that a new branch of Warzone, called Redemption, is being worked on.

I cannot guarantee the download links are virus free - check them with a virus scanner before using.
