+blurb: The Naev DevTeam announces the release of Naev version 0.12.5
+---
+
+This is the fifth and most likely last maintenance patch of the 0.12.0 release.
+It includes fixes to a major bug causing spawning ships to be much less diverse
+than they should have been. With the new version you should now see all sorts
+of ships all over instead of the same ones over and over.
+Furthermore, in preparation for upcoming changes in libxml, we have removed
+save game compression. Although Naev should still be able to load compressed
+save games, it will only save them without compression from now on. From 0.13.0
+onwards, and on systems using newer versions of libxml, loading compressed save
+games won't be possible anymore. You'll either have to load and save with this
+release, or uncompress manually.
+
+You can get the latest version from any of the following sources:
+
+<%= badge( "github", "0.12.4" ) %>
+<%= badge( "steam" ) %>
+<%= badge( "itchio" ) %>
+<%= badge( "flathub" ) %>
+
+The new version should be compatible with older save games, and will update
+things as necessary.
