NAV

The initial 4.7 series release of NAV is now out!

Because we discovered serious but easily fixable problems rather early, we decided to postpone posting on the blog. A separate post for the bugfix-release is posted as usual.

The source code is available for download at GitHub. A new package for Debian Jessie is published in our APT repository, as usual.

The virtual appliance will be updated shortly.
