Development of Outer Space project has finally resumed culminating in a release of a new version 0.5.60 that incorporates a lot of bugfixes submited by team members.

Outer Space version 0.5.60 is delayed, because of I have no direct access to the game production server now and thus I cannot make any quick fixed that can be required after an update. I suppose to release update in the second half of Nov.

Thanks to hard word of administrator, the server is back on-line. The turn processing is frozen until Jul 18th, 0:00 UTC to allow everyone to login and check current state of the game.

If you encounter any problems, feel free to contact me.

The server experience RAID driver card failure. Administrator tries to fix the issue as soon as possible. We will keep you informed about a progress of fixing the issue.

We are sorry for any problems caused by this outage.

The server will be downtime for about two hours between 10:00 and 18:00 UTC.

The Outer Space server was restored from backup 2006-05-25 04:00 UTC, but to make sure that everything is all-right, the turn processing has been disabled until 2006-05-29 00:00 UTC.

The upgrade of the server did not proceed as expected and the server is currenlty off-line. The administrator is working hard to get server back on-line.

Thanks for your patience.

The source code repository has been migrated from CVS to SVN. See SF.net documentation, if you don't know how to work with it.

The CVS repository is obsolete now.

The Outer Space server is off-line because of our provider has some problems with backbone infrastructure.
