Inspired originally by Master of Orion, the free and open source FreeOrion project has a brand new release.
For the FreeOrion, this was a reasonably quick release considering they had another release back in February and they don’t usually update too often. For a good reason this time though, as they’ve managed to do a major tech move from Python 2 to 3 to enable FreeOrion to stay up to date with modern code. That wasn’t the only big change though.
Some highlights:
Outside of their highlights, there’s of course plenty more changed you can see in the full log. More AI improvements, quite a lot of bug fixes, scripting optimizations, improved online multiplayer, translation updates and so on.
For Linux specifically, they also now supply a FreeDesktop.org AppStream metainfo file to help integrations.
