We reached string freeze!

This is the best time to complete your translations for the next release!

Make sure you enable your userreporter, this way we can have more accurate statistics about 0 A.D. and make some platform specific changes :)

For instance we recently discovered we had PowerPC users

We pushed a hotfix for the Spanish translation, but you need to download the game again, it's compatible with yesterday's version though
Linux users, sorry for the delay, we had some packaging issues... Your maintainers should have gotten an email.

0 A.D. Alpha 24: Xšayāršā is out! See https://play0ad.com/new-release-0-a-d-alpha-24-xsayarsa/ for more info.

Current development progress for Alpha 24 is fluctuating between 98% and 99%. A few more bugs still need to be ironed out before the final packaging of the game, and then we're ready to go... One thing to look forward to in Alpha 24 are the totally reworked horse models and animations by Alexandermb. This graphic by wowgetooffyourcellphone illustrates the improvements quite well. #opensource

Alpha 24 is inching closer to completion. Stay tuned for an ETA. #opensource #gamedev #freesoftware
