<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>Another Google of summer result is a new framework for Wesnoth's artificial intelligence.
The ai can now be scripted to reflect the needs of certain event based story settings better.
Even possible but by far harder is the creation of a different ai that fits into the framework.

<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 create alternate
AIs that are also scriptable.</p>

<p>We kept the promise we made in 1.6 when we had to remove Python for
technical reasons; WML events can now be written in lua.
The integration of lua in the wesnoth game engine is advanced enough to even
allow the coding of self defined action wml tags.
