Alientrap Development

Willis was kind enough to upgrade us to Redmine 0.8.7. This is a security and stability upgrade, the next upgrade will bring some great new features, expect it around late December. Report any bugs to z@nexuizninjaz.com

Gravatars are now enabled system wide. You'll see them on issues and the activities tab of projects. I hope to get them integrated elsewhere in the system (such as forums) but I'll have to wait until we upgrade redmine and figure out how we're going to keep track of patches.

The dev.at theme has been updated to help convey information about links, tabs and issues with colors and icons. The green is temporary, I literally just dropped in the theme I created for the redmine system I use at work. Wiki extensions have been added to enhance the current wiki system. Check out the Nexuiz Development Wiki for a live example.

Also, Will added a crontab so repository updates will now automatically be seen in the activity tab every 10 minutes.

Developer forums have been added to the Nexuiz project at http://dev.alientrap.org -- these were created for mature discussion about the development of the game, targeted at developers and contributors.

Fans should continue to use the Alientrap Forums as a main avenue for communicating with the development team.

After quite a long beta period we can finally release the long awaited new version of Nexuiz - 2.5.2!
