Hello World!
BY BOBBENS, ON JANUARY 1ST, 2020
After a longer than expected hiatus, the Naev website is back! It has been completely redone and is also hosted on github.
While development has slowed down, it has not completely stalled. Besides many different bug fixes and code tweaks, some new missions have been added.
Furthermore, although the IRC channel (#naev on irc.freenode.net) still exists, we have also created a discord for the Naev project. You can join it with this discord invite.
Hopefully 2020 will bring more developments in the Naev project. Happy new year to all!

Naev is on steam!
BY BOBBENS, ON JULY 17TH, 2017
After a long road, Naev 0.7.0 is now available on steam! At the current time Windows and Linux (64 bits) are supported.
We note that Naev will still remain an open source project, and no steam-specific changes have been done, i.e., Naev on steam is the same as on github. Finally, Naev will remain free on the steam store and updated with releases.

Naev 0.6.1 Release
BY BOBBENS, ON NOVEMBER 15TH, 2015
It’s been a while, but we’re proud to announce Naev 0.6.1. This is a minor release that has a slew of fixes, improvements and missions. It fixes some important issues that cropped up in the previous release and thus we highly encourage everyone to update to 0.6.1.
This release would have not been possible without the help of both onpon4, nenau, and Ian D. Scott who have been very active of late. We would like to once again thank all contributors for making this release possible.

Naev 0.6.0 Release
BY DEIZ, ON MARCH 17TH, 2015
The Naev development team is proud to announce the release of Naev 0.6.0, our first stable release in nearly three years.
This release features over 1600 commits from some 38 contributors, as well as small fixes from many more. Its main features are the core slots system, which allows ships to be more heavily customized, as well as full SDL2 support, which greatly improves Naev’s fullscreen behaviour among other things.
