Naev 0.9.4 Released!

EDIT: We have pushed a fix for macOS users running into issues launching the game, please let us know in the Discussion forums if you run into any issues.

The Naev DevTeam is pleased to announce the release of Naev version 0.9.4.
With this release, the Naev 0.9 branch is definitely maybe free of bugs. In case you find one anyway, please report on this tracker, and feel free to join our Discord or Matrix (chat rooms). There’s no new content here, aside from stunning progress by the volunteer translators in the community. The new content has instead gone into pre-releases of Naev 0.10, and our attention for the rest of 2022 will be on finishing that.
