Wurm Server Release History

This is a shameless, unofficial copy of the Wurm server release notes as shown by /news. Some people might find it interesting to see what has been changed over the past few months. I hope that people will be able to see just how busy Mojang has been. The section headings are the date the server was updated; YYMMDD. Please note that this page was not created by Mojang, so it is not an official document.

This page shows the release notes from 2007. The server release notes from 2006, 2005, and 2004 are on separate pages as this page is getting quite large.
