Conquer 4.12 Release – GPLv3 Relicensing and Preservation

We are happy to announce the 4.12 release of Conquer, which marks an important milestone in the long history of this project.

This release is not about new gameplay features, but about ensuring the preservation and future accessibility of Conquer’s legacy. With the explicit permissions of the original authors, the project has now been relicensed under GPL v3, guaranteeing that it can be freely studied, modified, and shared within the open-source community for years to come.

In addition to the relicensing effort, this release includes work to:

• Make the codebase compilable on modern GNU/Linux systems and other modern Operating Systems.

• Introduce small modernization improvements so that the project remains buildable and maintainable with current toolchains.

The intention of this release is to safeguard Conquer’s history and ensure its availability for preservation and research, not to introduce new functionality.

What’s Changed

• Conquer relicensing by @vejeta in #1
• MaF permissions to relicense as GPL by @vejeta in #3
• Make it compilable in GNU/Linux. by @vejeta in #4
• Modernization by @vejeta in #5
