As you should all know by now, v0.5 is finally here. You can find it on the downloads page, and the readme is included in the simufarm directory. Any problems, just head over to the forum.
Since the release on Thursday 17th of July, we have had over 4,800 downloads! That’s fantastic news, and i’d like to thank every single downloader for their continued dedication to us.
Obviously, we’re already working hard on the next version, 0.5.1. I started a topic about this on the forum, and you can find it here. Theres news and updates on our progress, and some screenshots of work on extending the terrain to add new features like fuel stations, grain co-ops and dealerships, the later of which i have lots of plans for 
I’d like to see more members on the forum. We have a brilliant forum which covers basically anything to do with Simufarm, and alot more. You can get help, or just have a chat! Most of the breaking news about Simufarm is written there too. So why not join in the community and register today? Just hit the “Forum” link on the right hand side.
Over the weekend, 3 new machines were relesed. JD3350, JD6800 and a Zetor 15245 Turbo. You can find them in the repository (link is on the right hand side). Please note that some files you will need to use WinRar to open, and Readme files are included within the zip and rar files.
Website news now, I’ve added a compatability message at the top of the screen. If you get a yellow box with “You may have problems with viewing the site, click here for details” then click the link and follow the instructions. You need Javascript enabled and IE6/Firefox2 or Higher, due to the overlaying transparency which is only available in modern browsers like Firefox2 and IE7. I reccomend Firefox3 personally, and the Simufarm engine uses the Mozilla engine for the GUI via Navi, which i can totally reccomend to my fellow developers!
We’ve also started a new Wiki. The old wiki was out of date, and on an unreliable host. This host is alot more reliable, and we’ve started anew with the information, so it should be up to date. I’ve appointed –tractorman– in charge of the wiki for now, hopfully he can fill it up a bit and make it welcome for other users. I’ve also added the latest readme to the wiki, so if you need it, it’s there. Ofcourse, it’s a Wiki, so anyone is welcome to submit their knowledge! To visit, just click the “Wiki” button on the right hand side.
Anyhow, thanks for reading, and thanks again for visiting. Hope to see you on the forum soon!
