For the +release, a [trailer with some of the changes][veloren-012-release-trailer] was +posted. This release was 5 months in the making, so the changelog is quite +large. During the release party, the official server reached a cap of 195 +players online at once, which is another record for Veloren. Changes were made +to allow server owners to more easily handle IPv4 and IPv6 connections. +Improvements were also made to trading price calculations to properly normalize +loot tables. + +Two Veloren Reading Clubs were held in February. [The first +one][veloren-reading-club-5] explored using Git to contribute, and how to add +some new NPC characters. [The second one][veloren-reading-club-6] explored how +some of Git's more intricate features worked, as well as how economy simulations +are done. Work was done to allow species to defend others of the same species, +to allow for more realistic combat in the wild. A [Mastodon +page][veloren-mastodon] was also created for Veloren. Gnarlings forts were also +added, which adds a whole new area for players to fight in. + +February's full weekly devlogs: "This Week In Veloren...": +[#158][veloren-158], +[#159][veloren-159], +[#160][veloren-160], +[#161][veloren-161]. + +[veloren]: https://veloren.net +[veloren-mastodon]: https://mastodon.technology/@veloren +[veloren-012-release-blog]: https://veloren.net/release-0-12/ +[veloren-012-release-trailer]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=604JC5QdYQE +[veloren-reading-club-5]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9PXtKEwedQ +[veloren-reading-club-6]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbiLZvuBLzc + +[veloren-158]: https://veloren.net/devblog-158 +[veloren-159]: https://veloren.net/devblog-159 +[veloren-160]: https://veloren.net/devblog-160 +[veloren-161]: https://veloren.net/devblog-161 + ## Engine Updates ## Learning Material Updates diff --git a/content/news/031/veloren.jpg b/content/news/031/veloren.jpg new file mode 100644 index 000000000..4ce2f7a96 Binary files /dev/null and b/content/news/031/veloren.jpg differ
