Plans
For a complete history of NAV, see HistoryOfNAV. The first official open source version of NAV was NAV 3.0.
Where is NAV going?
NAV has a long history and a lot of code to maintain. Our current strategy is this:
- Let there be no doubt; our focus is on network management
- NAV's key strength is on detecting network topology, tracking machines and visualizing the network.
- We will focus on supporting commonly deployed network equipment.
- Reducing complexity is important, both in terms of installing and using NAV.
A more concrete overview of release plans and what we are working on in NAV can be found as milestones, bug reports and blueprints at our Launchpad project page.
