Naev 0.12.5
BY NAEV DEVTEAM, ON MAY 23RD, 2025
This is the fifth and most likely last maintenance patch of the 0.12.0 release. It includes fixes to a major bug causing spawning ships to be much less diverse than they should have been. With the new version you should now see all sorts of ships all over instead of the same ones over and over. Furthermore, in preparation for upcoming changes in libxml, we have removed save game compression. Although Naev should still be able to load compressed save games, it will only save them without compression from now on. From 0.13.0 onwards, and on systems using newer versions of libxml, loading compressed save games won’t be possible anymore. You’ll either have to load and save with this release, or uncompress manually.
You can get the latest version from any of the following sources:
The new version should be compatible with older save games, and will update things as necessary.
