Xonotic 0.7 Released!

I strongly recommend that everyone use official channels to update their clients. It is simple and it takes just a couple of minutes. Here are the steps:

1) In your extracted v0.6.0 directory, go to the sub-folder misc->tools->rsync-updater.
2) Execute update-to-release.sh inside this directory (or update-to-release.bat on Windows).
3) Wait a couple of minutes for the rsync to work through all the files.
4) You're done! Enjoy your shiny v0.7.0 client!

Detail after just having done this using a freshly-extracted 0.6.0 directory:

@Antibody - this update method should be mentioned/linked somewhere on the website or something. (Because it's good, and not many people know about it's existence.)

Wow, nice, I had no idea animation blending was ready or even finished!

And oilrig is back, that's fantastic haha.

Congratulations team!
@nirgoren: coplete changelist is WIP, it just takes time to read all the over 5000 commits (and that's only for data branch!) and cherry pick real bugfixes and new features. I hope I can finish that later today.

Hi! Thank you for this!

Lol, the first time since months I am taking a look if there's any news in here and what do I see? New release. Today. Hey!

Keep the good work up friends! No question I'm gonna have a try.

Whoa! Hello! This thread is becoming as exciting as the release!

Glad to see MrBougo getting overexcited! (hope you have it less stressful now mate )

Thanks for all the work!

good game =)

Whoop for Another Release
Keep it coming guys

Hey all, I've updated the download page with verbiage about the rsync updater tool. Have fun!

Congratulations and thank you!

Really great news, thanks to everyone who makes Xonotic possible (especially thumbs up to Antibody, CBrutail and Salamala)! More than 3 years passed since it all began, I met some great people during that time and fell in love with the game. I wanted to write more but I think it's suffice to say:

Xonotic ftw!!1

Erm... thank you very much for the highlight, but I truly did almost nothing for this release, iirc only one of my commits got into master in the past almost one and half years (and some cleanups here and there, but really not that much).
Just like the release statement tells:
"Xonotic 0.7 is the product of strong collaboration between our developers and the rest of our vibrant, diverse community."
If I have to name those people who you mostly have to thank you, are:

divVerent, Samual, Antibody, tZork, Mario, terencehill, matthiaskrgr, Morphed, mirceakitsune, ablu, graphitemaster, Blub\0, LordHavoc (yep, as he still works on Darkplaces), Mirio, kuniuthefrogg, Debugger, SavageX, FruitieX, zykure, and of course, all those people who pushed a lot on community activity, like asyyy, ZeroQL, harry_ftw, Trev&Nacho ... (and now here... you can continue the list, as I was absent in the past half year... shame on me).

... and when will we be finally seeing version 0.8?

Good job and a big THANK YOU to all the contributors! Let's hope this will give Xonotic another player boost, FRESH MEAT TO TRAIN YAY!

... and when will we be finally seeing version 0.8?

Code:

Jun 10 01:50:02 <Mirio>    stop chatting so much and work on 0.8 >:D
Jun 10 01:50:13 <Samual>    *CENSORED* I LIKE TO CHAT ON IRC

nice work guys!

Nice

But I guess we'll see a patch with the translations (0.7.1?) before another release. At least I know Freefang and I will probably have finished the Dutch translation in a week, and I assume all translations can be finished and tested in a month.

Btw the duel attention is much appreciated, I like the new maps and the spawn positions marker(As well as the small balance changes from 0.6).
Any word on the new spawn rules you mentioned?

haven't had the time to download and play it, but .7 has the new starting weapon right?

Awesome news! Gonna check out the new release asap.

Very detailed, extensive changelog:

Now that's what i'm talking about, because the thread's changelog doesn't even mention the new Crylink secondary attack and looks very boring.

Is overkill mod included in this version?

Is overkill mod included in this version?

I don't think so, but if you join the MoN overkill server it will download automatically.

If you prefer playing it offline or such, I think you can download it here.

Can't download from that link and I am trying to play that offline.
