Oolite v1.75.2 is released. Oolite is a space sim game, inspired by Elite, powered by Objective-C and OpenGL, and designed as a small game that is easy for users to pick up, modify and expand upon. Almost every aspect of the game can be changed by using simple, free graphics packages and text editors.

Originally written for Mac OS X, and under continuous development for over five years, Oolite is available for Mac OS X (10.3.9 and higher) and PCs running Windows XP, Windows Vista or Linux. It requires at least a 400 MHz processor, 256 MiB of memory, and a graphics card capable of accelerating OpenGL graphics. The game and source code are offered for free under the GNU General Public License.

* New Linux/POSIX installer.
* Disabled shaders on certain ATi GPUs using Gallium drivers because of crashes.
* Clock adjustments now accumulate in the obvious way (Bug #17969).
* Improved texture filtering for planets and generated emission maps (in non-
shader mode).
* Fixed bug where a ship was apparently attacking itself whenever one of its
subentities was taking energy damage.
* Friendly fire between ships in the same group, and between police, military
or thargoid vessels, no longer leads to hostilities.
* Ships following the player through a wormhole now have jump rings.

(Bug #18068)
* Fixes to mass-dependent fuel pricing.
