Naev 0.8.0-beta2

BY BOBBENS, ON AUGUST 14TH, 2020

Given significant changes since 0.8.0-beta1 we have decided to do another beta before the final release (last one hopefully.) We don’t anticipate too many issues with this beta, but if you try it and find any issues, please report them at the issue tracker. Discussion about the game can also be had on IRC (#naev on irc.freenode.net) or Discord (discord invite).

Download the new version from here.
