The sixth maintenance release of the NAV 4.2 series is now available.
The source code is available for download at Launchpad [1]. A new package for Debian Wheezy has been published in our APT repository [2], as usual.
Debian Jessie (the next stable release of Debian) is scheduled for release on Saturday 25th April, so we will start working on building a package for Jessie as well.

It seems a package for Jessie will be delayed.
Debian Jessie removes the pynetsnmp library NAV uses for SNMP communication, partly because the package has been unmaintained, and the packaged version was not compatible with Jessie's version of Net-SNMP [1].
Although we have been working on porting NAV itself to Django 1.7, the abovementioned change sets off a cascade of issues that we don't have the resources to deal with at the moment (unless someone volunteers to do the work).
Instead, we will focus on finishing NAV 4.3, which will likely still depend on Django 1.4. Compatibility with the libraries available for Debian Jessie will be part of our goals for 4.4.
