A quick, unversioned source package has been released to patch 2 source packaging bugs reported by Vincent Deffontaines. Thank you for testing.

The source currently available from the wiki (and sourceforge downloads) is now up to date, and should work properly when compiling and installing.

Sorry for the trouble, and enjoy playing.

I'm happy to announce the release of Beta 1. Its been months of work, lots of bugs to fix, and hours of testing, but Beta 1 is now stable enough to be released to the public.

The most notable changes for this release are the major rewrites to the Core and YOG engines that took place(big thanks to Bradley for all his hard work), increasing stability and speed, the switch from automake to scons, and the license change from GPL v2 to GPL v3.... read more

Globulation 2 has taken a major step forward and decided to progress from Alpha to Beta status as of the next release.

It will be entitles Beta 1 (or 0.9.1, following the same versioning pattern of Alpha) and bring many new features, most notably of which are major rewrites to the map headers and yog network engine (increasing speed and stability in both local and networked play).

In order to provide you with a release that is as bug free as possible, please help us test the release candidate before it is release.... read more

Screenshots have finally been updated to reflect the graphical changes that were made in Alpha 23. Enjoy.

The operating system Mandriva 2007.0 will no longer have packages made for it when releases are made. Instead, the newer version, Mandriva 2007.1, will take its place on all future releases.

Alpha 23 has been released. This release fixes some bugs introduced in alpha 22 which crashed the game, and made it hard to play.

This release is what we hope will be the last before a major rewrite takes place, which could take a month or two (or possibly longer).

So enjoy it.
