• 0.2.9.3.0 Released - 18 April 2026

  The main reason for this release is that the default installation of libxml removed http fetch functions we were using, and that starts appearing in mainstream Linux distributions now, such as Ubuntu 26.10. On such systems, we now use libcurl as a replacement. Binary builds like this one are unchanged, they still use the old libxml. But hey, you also get a better framerate indicator. And it seems the bugs Alex Bagnall fixed made the bots a little more competent. Patch Notes Changes since 0.2.9.2.5:Fixed Bugs FPS display inaccurate (#143) Ping Charity: If the lowest ping player sets it to PING_CHARITY to 0, PING_CHARITY_SERVER should be 0. (#153) Private messages sent by a user should not go to the receiver as a console out. (#155)New Features MAX_FPS: Setting to limit framerate (#154) Add MAX_FPS menu entry (#164)Contributors Alex Bagnall, Armanelgtron, AsciiWolf, Bernhard M. Wiedemann,…

• Small bugfix build 0.2.9.2.5 - 14 December 2025

  0.2.9.2.5 adds a tiny initialization fix, sometimes the Linux version would freeze into a nasty state on startup.

• 0.2.9.2.3 released - 19 March 2024

  macOS builds are now considered stable. Any still open macOS specific issues can be viewed on our tracker. In case you are wondering about the .3 at the end, that is because the first three attempts to build the source and deploy the result failed at various points. There is not much else to this release. Mostly bugfixes, adaptions to new environments, fixes to the build system that bring it more in line with standards, code quality improvements from fixing all the warnings the macOS compiler raised. There is now a VSYNC enable/disable/default option in the display system setup backported from trunk! That probably was a Z-Man specific itch. Changes in Linux land switched the default from On to Off, and it is annoying to override with the command line.

• 0.2.9.1.1 released - 11 August 2023

  This is just a small update that works around a crash bug in some recent Linux distributions. Confirmed affected were Manjaro users. Very likely, Arch and current Debian users were affected as well. Also very likely affected were users of all distributions who did not have the library SDL1.2 installed on their system, or who opted in to the "Steam Linux Runtime". A fix to the library bug is underway, but may take a while to arrive for everyone, so a quick fix here was in order.

• 0.2.9.1.0 released - 1 December 2020

  And, to be frank, also the old, regular widescreen overlords. All this time, the game had been optimized for 4:3 or 5:4 screens, with menu text and HUD elements getting stretched to the side for widescreen users. No more of that! The changes also benefit splitscreen users; for a horizontal split, the HUD will now no longer cover half the (split) screen. And while we were at fixing fonts, the default console rendering now tries to display the bitmap font precisely as it is designed, pixel by pixel; that should make the console more readable and sharper looking for everyone. Playing back debug recordings has been made simpler and more robust; the --playback command line switch is no longer required and the network code should no longer give up when the recorded server response does not match what the playback code expects. Especially, this version should have no problems playing back tour…

• 0.2.9.1 preview set live for everyone - 5 August 2020

  Hello Grid People, Users coming from Armagetron Advanced 0.2.8 and new users were unhappy about the addition of the tutorial-like 'press X to turn' messages. And they were right, they were quite obnoxious. We toned them down now, made them repeat less often if you choose to follow them, and they all go away at once if you enter the keyboard layout menu. Almost all. The one pointing to the ingame menu is unaffected. Also, the opening game against a single AI has been modified a bit with a smaller arena and finite trails, that should make it less frustrating; you no longer end up separated from the AI, waiting who will survive longer. Because those changes affect new users and we expect their influx to reduce in the coming weeks, these changes are now published a bit early so as many as possible can benefit from them.

• 0.2.9.0 released - 30 July 2020

  Compared to what was available here in Steam before, the only change was the version number. You have technically been on only a release candidate the whole time. Compared to what was the last proper release, 0.2.8.3.5, quite a bit has changed. Major changes since 0.2.8.3.5 (available elsewhere) on the game client are better readability for the console output, text input and ingame menu, better initial configuration, keyboard layout reminders and an initial, slightly easier match against an AI. Major addition on the server are external scripts; they get fed the ladderlog output and their output is parsed as console input. The ladderlog output has been expandedto make that feature more useful. Since these scripts are launched as external processes, they can be written in any language.
