Full Changelog: v0.12.3...nightly

v0.12.5

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.

The new version should be compatible with older save games, and will update things as necessary.

Changes since 0.12.4

• Fixed bug causing lower diversity in ship spawning
• Fixed autonav not respecting shield thresholds
• Fixed AI spamming afterburners in an unhealthy way
• Removed support for save game compression as libxml 2.14 disable compression by default
• minerva/pirate3: fixed dialogue being weird if paying with tokens
• Minor typo fixes and translation updates

v0.12.4

This is the fourth maintenance patch of the 0.12.0 release. It contains fixes for several crashes, including a fairly high impact one when shooting asteroids with explosive weapons. It also ensures that no pirate presence leaks into the area around the starting system, and makes sure some missions are completable. This release looks set to be the final of the 0.12.x series as we focus on the 0.13.0 release that is slated for December this year.

The new version should be compatible with older save games, and will update things as necessary.

Changes since 0.12.3

• More robust jump check to fix crash when creating new systems
• Gave Pacifier +400 fuel bonus to match description
• Made the baron comm event respect system claims
• Shaky swan no longer gets killed by patrols
• Fixed crash when shooting asteroids with explosive weapons
• Disallow cooling down while jumping
• Fixed crash with pilot.navJumpSet
• Remove all pirate presence within 2 jumps of the starting system
• Minor typo fixes and translation updates

v0.12.3

This is the third maintenance patch of the 0.12.0 release, that fixes a bunch of minor issues. Some of the larger fixes include not being able to stealth with active point defense, and distress signals causing hostility cascades which could be a problem especially in the Frontier. We don’t anticipate too many more problems and have shifted most of the focus on development of the next major release.

Changes since 0.12.2

• Sirius preacher gives +4% shield regeneration, not +4 GW shield regeneration
• Largus Gene Drive (Nyx) has a max speed of 175, not 275
• Tweaked Melendez Mammoth XL and Eagle 6500 top speeds

• dv_shopping: Fixed not giving the player the Fancy Key Chain
• Misi will sell the Fancy Key Chain for those affected by the dv_shopping bug
• oldwoman: The old woman complains again
• shadowvigil: seiryuu doesn't disappear if you land
• darkshadow: four wind fighters can hurt the player
• kex3: made it completable by making it much easier to dodge and have a fairer fight
• Fixed stealth circles not appearing on hostile pilots if their faction is friendly
• Fixed some date-related mission information not being updated
• Fixed landing music playing with VN music in some situations
• Significantly buffed point defense damage
• Story mode gives an additional -50% fuel usage modifier
• Minor typo fixes and translation updates

v0.12.2

This is a maintenance patch that fixes a lot of small issues here and there. It includes improvements on deployed escorts, fixing looting FLF ships causing nearby planets and other ships to become hostile, and puts Dvaered ships for sale among other things.

The new version should be compatible with older save games, and will update things as necessary.

v0.12.1

With big releases, come big bugs. A bug that would potentially mark the entire player's map as known has crept into the release.

We also have not forgotten significant quality of life improvements; folding messages, more visual indications for things such as important characters at the spaceport bar, filtering for the mission computer, and more!

v0.12.0-beta.1

This year, we're starting the betas a bit early given the large amount of content modified and added. As always, this release contains a large amount of changes done during the past year which likely have introduced a lot of bugs and issues that we want to iron out before the final release of 0.12.0.

Now, this release changes a lot of how the game currently plays, and, while it is highly recommended to start a new game, it should be possible to just load up your old saves without too much stuff being changed. In particular, some of the major changes are:

1. Nearly all the ships are now modeled in 3D with fancy lighting and tilting effects!
2. You can now capture ships!
3. New ships and ship variants!
4. Faction reputation is no longer a single global value, but more nuanced and local.
5. New challenging area to access many secrets.
6. In-game Wiki full of mechanics and lore explanations!

If you try it and find any issues, please report them at the issue tracker. Discussion about the game can be had on one of the various discussion forums and chatrooms we have. Check them out here!
