Ehm, this currently does rather look like a mess to me. Regarding their packages site for hardy (http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=hardy&searchon=names&keywords=wesnoth), it does look like only the binaries wesnoth, wesnoth_editor and wesnothd are 1.3.19 and this only for powerpc and amd64. All the rest seems to be 1.2.8, especially the campaigns, which will not work. The campaigns listed there are only the ones included in 1.2.8, too. |> Ubuntu Hardy Heron is planned for end of April, and is currently in |> feature freeze. |> |> since 1.4 is not out yet, they will probably ship 1.2... a month after |> the 1.2 server has been shut and we stop supporting it.

But currently the shipped mp server does only support its very own version unless you specify a configuration file that allows other versions to be used. I asked Soliton to hardcode allowing other versions by default, too, unless an explicit list of versions is specified. So with the real release of 1.4 (planned for sunday), this will not be a problem anymore since the server shipped with it will support all other versions. This is a rather critical problem, since for game in a local network, wesnothd is now required. Still joining the official server and playing on that one will work with 1.3.19, too.
