I'm happy to report there has been a big update released for OpenSSN. This version, 0.7, fixes a number of nasty bugs. Torpedoes now detect hits better, the issue with the game losing connection with the display (X11) has been fixed. A new mission has been added, which includes two friendly subs taking on four surface ships.
There have been a number of minor fixes to the sonar and AI. Active sonar has been added and sound is now supported. Sound must be turned on using a command-line parameter at the moment as sound effects are still in the early stages, but we'll improve upon that.

Suggestions for new missions, sounds and ship types are welcome.
OpenSSN is available in the package managers of FreeBSD and PC-BSD. If you're a Linux user, please let your distribution developers know about OpenSSN so we can get support on more platforms. Thank you.
