Re: OpenHV
Finally, after 2 years of development and even more contributors: the second stable release of OpenHV arrives.
The full changelog spans multiple pages and is fully transparent. Many changes were based on community feedback.
![Image](https://media.moddb.com/images/articles/1/295/294583/auto/71eb4800-7201-11ea-8.png)
Some last-minute changes include the first 3 player map.

If you like to mod the game or create your own map with custom rules, it is easier than ever using the convenient OpenRA MiniYAML Language Extension for Visual Studio Code.

Mission scripting is a bit more advanced, but the OpenRA Lua Language Extension is there to assist you. It also celebrated a stable release recently.
