We would like to formally announce the arrival of **[Xonotic](http://xonotic.org)** - A free (GPL), fast-paced first-person shooter that works on Microsoft Windows, Mac OSX and Linux. Xonotic is a direct successor of the **[Nexuiz Project](http://alientrap.org/nexuiz)**.

As a result, we felt the need to organize a departure to start with a clean slate.
