A long-standing issue has been fixed regarding bounty hunters attacking the player for fighting pirates. Other than that, we’ve been able to replace more placeholder graphics and solve an issue with NPCs not using beam weapons properly. There are also minor fixes improving the behaviour of the plugin manager, especially on mac os, made some NPCs talk properly, and adding some missing collision polygons.

It’s not clear whether this is last beta, so, as always, please report any issues on this tracker, and feel free to join our Discord or Matrix chatrooms. Find out more about them here!

Platform support changes

With the move to Rust and SDL3, Naev now only supports macOS 11+ (previously 10.13+) and Windows 10+ (previously Windows 7+). We will keep a 0.12.x branch on Steam as the last version supporting the older operating systems, and those older releases will remain available on Codeberg and itch as well.
