 <p>The campaign <cite>Dead Water</cite> is now in mainline.
 In it you play a young merman who is the heir to his kingdom's throne. You 
must repel an undead invasion.
 Like <cite>Delfador's Memoirs</cite> from Wesnoth 1.8,
 <cite>Dead Water</cite> also spent some time being polished in the <a

-<p>We've continued to polish and improve the mainline campaigns.
-The hero Kaleh's custom advancements in <cite>Under the Burning
-Suns</cite>, long a source of problems, have been redesigned in a more robust
-and streamlined fashion. Significant continuity problems in <cite>Heir to the
-Throne's</cite> "Cliffs of Thoria" scenario have been fixed.
-Some scenarios in <cite>Legend of Wesmere</cite> have been rewritten
-and significantly enhanced. An early version of its multiplayer port
-is available to test Wesnoth's multiplayer campaign feature.</p>

 <h3 id='campdev'>For Content Developers</h3>
-
-<!--TODO: following: old content, please update!
-<p>This year Wesnoth was once again a Google "Summer of Code" program;
-one of its major results was a complete rework of Wesnoth's support
-for multiplayer campaigns. Sides in multiplayer games are now
-persistent and can be carried over from one multiplayer scenario to
-the next. The leaders of AI sides are now able to recall from their
-side's list. As a side effect it is now possible to have more than
-one leader with the ability to recruit per side.
-</p>
-
-<p>Another Summer of Code result is a new framework for Wesnoth's
-artificial intelligence. The AI can now be scripted to significantly
-change its behavior in different story settings and in response to
-campaign events, give enemy sides more distinct tactical
-personalities. It is possible, though not easy, to use scripting
-languages (formula_ai, lua) to create alternate AIs that are also 
scriptable.</p>
-
-<p>A new tool called the <a
-href="http://wiki.wesnoth.org/CommandMode#Extra_Debugging_Commands";>"gamestate
-inspector"</a> allows a content developer to view the values of
-the WML variables, ai configuration, and the recall list while a game is in 
progress.</p>

 </div>
 
-<p>New Orcish Village and Orcish Keep terrain graphics improve the
-options available to map designers.</p>
-
-<p>We've also achieved excellent results with our inaugural 'Summer Art
-Scholarship' program. This has led to dozens of new portraits, as well as a
-complete rework of the Drake sprites. We hope to continue this program in
-coming years.</p>
-
-
-<p>We paid a lot of attention to world continuity, from small details
-like replacing earth-human names for characters up through larger ones
-like putting many new placenames on the main map. The main Wesnoth
-history timeline has been tweaked to eliminate various minor
-inconsistencies.</p>
-
-<p>We kept the promise we made in 1.6 when we had to remove Python for
-technical reasons; WML events and AI components can now be written in lua. The
-integration of lua in the wesnoth game engine is advanced enough to
-even allow the coding of WML action tags with lua definitions that can
-read and modify game state variables in the C++ core.</p>
--->
+<p>Thanks to the new <a 
href="http://wiki.wesnoth.org/PersistenceWML";>persistent variables</a> feature,
+add-on authors are now able to save data to the players' computers. This data 
will be accessible in
+future matches or campaign play-throughs.</p>
+
+<p>A batch of new item icons have been included for add-on authors to take 
advantage of.
+They include pictures of potions, robes, various types of armor, and some 
magical looking jewelry.
+They have been drawn in the style of our existing attack icons.</p>
