Summary     : Open source realtime-strategy game
Description :
Widelands is an open source (GPLed), realtime-strategy game, using SDL and
other free libraries, which is still under development. Widelands is inspired
by Settlers II (Bluebyte) and is partly similar to it, so if you know it, you
perhaps will have a thought, what Widelands is all about.

Update Information:

- Rebase to new upstream release build16
- Besides various enhancements this also fixes an arbitrary file overwrite vulnerability, which could be exploited when connecting to malicious servers for internet play!
