The initial feature release of the 5.1 series of NAV is now out!
The source code is available for download at GitHub [1].
A new package for Debian 10 (Buster) is available in our APT repository
[2] as usual. Packages for Debian 9 (Stretch) have been discontinued.
Please be extra aware of config file changes. Look out for `*.dpkg-dist`

The virtual appliance will be updated shortly.
