It's the season again for gifts and goodies. So we also have a goody for you: OpenTTD 1.4.0-beta1, the first beta of the next major release.

There's a number of features new to this version. The largest feature certainly is the long-craved for cargo distribution (CargoDist). But there's a lot of other enhancements like goal scripts now support much more elaborate descriptions, NewObjects can be now much more numerous and diverse and also be placed upon map creation, windows can remember their sizes. And many more. You can find the full changelog here right next to the gift-wrapped binary.

If you find any bugs or issues with this release, please don't hesitate, to report it in our bug tracker.

General questions are happily answered in our forum or on IRC.

Enjoy, merry Christmas and a happy new year to all,
Your OpenTTD team
