On 25 October 2017, version 1.86 was released. Mobile external view camera, multiple lasers now available to all ships, improvements to the Galactic Chart interface, improvements to overall presentation and UI. On 21 July 2016, version 1.84 was released. A Scenario Support System was introduced, essentially allowing people to rewrite the galaxies, ships, equipment and rules to make their own new space game using the Oolite engine. Improvements were made to multi-monitor support, explosion graphics, and planet textures, and a 'field of view' setting introduced to Game Options. Graphics and interfaces were upgraded, with the main improvement being the fully zoomable and scrollable galaxy map, which replaces the separate short-range and long-range charts. AI and the Expansion Pack Management System were further improved, and combat reworked to make the early game a bit easier for beginners, while still allowing plenty of challenges in the later game. On a new stable version, v1.82 was released. It adds many new features, including greatly improved AI, an updated core shipset and an Expansion Pack management system. On 30 June 2014 a new stable version, v1.80 was released, to replace 2012's v1.76.1. On 1 October 2013 a new test deployment version, v1.77.1 was released. This version comes with new features and improvements over previous releases. On 8 January 2013, a new test deployment version, v1.77, was released. The purpose of the release is to evaluate Oolite's Deployment configuration, which is the way upcoming stable releases are expected to be made.

Giles Williams began work on Oolite for Mac OS X in 2003. Oolite is licensed under GPL-2.0-or-later for the source code, while resources (pictures, music, textures, models) are dual-licensed under GPL-2.0-or-later and CC-BY-NC-SA-3.0. Among Oolite's several similarities to its source, the gaming experience is enhanced by the context set in Elite's original manual, and the accompanying novella, The Dark Wheel. The name is a contraction of object oriented Elite, because it was written in Objective-C, an object-oriented programming language.
